Contemplation...

How much time did the White House and Department of Defense spend in coordinating Bush's arrival on the USS Lincoln?

vs.


How much time did they White House and Department of Defense spend in coordinating events after the Saddam statues came down?

I'm willing to bet that prior to May 1, 2003 they spent far more time on the former than the latter.


And now...

How much time has the White House spent in writing anti-Democratic talking points?

vs.

How much time has the White House spent on a face-saving way of getting out of Iraq before Bush leaves office?
