2. Bush admitted last week that comparisons of Iraq to Vietnam and the Tet Offensive may be accurate.
3. Yesterday it was reported that President Bush will be changing the message of his public speeches from Iraq to the economy.
4. Today Rep. Senator Lindsey Graham disparages US policy in Iraq and states that Iraq is on the verge of chaos.
Not sure if the wheels are falling off or what, but the Administration and its supporters seem to be "off message" lately.
