[Anyone] We're winning, right?

"North Korea is popping off nuclear weapons.

"Nearly five years after President Bush introduced the concept of an 'axis
of evil' comprising Iraq, Iran and North Korea," reported the Washington
Post on Tuesday, "the administration has reached a crisis point with each
nation: North Korea has claimed it conducted its first nuclear test, Iran
refuses to halt its uranium-enrichment program, and Iraq appears to be
tipping into a civil war 3 1/2 years after the U.S.-led invasion. Each
problem appears to feed on the others, making the stakes higher and
requiring Bush and his advisers to make difficult calculations, analysts
and U.S. officials said."

Difficult calculations. Right. The administration will spend the next few
days bouncing off the walls while secretly being pleased that North
Korea's frightening debut on the nuclear stage got everyone's eyes off the
Mark Foley page scandal. George W. Bush will be on television for
interminable minutes mangling the pronunciation of the word "nuclear"
while trying to sound like he has any idea what is going on. The rest of
us will be hiding under our beds.

The first president to lose two wars at the same time is on the job,
folks. I feel safer just thinking about it."

Oops, I guess we aren't winning.
