“DEATH THROES”

A reader sends me the following quote from Newsweek, January 19, 2004:

Tuesday marks one month to the day of the capture of Saddam Hussein, humiliated and feeble, and Bush aides insist these are the death throes of the insurgency.

Readers are invited to send me statements by Bush officials describing the insurgency as in its “death throes” over the past couple of years. Anything from Dick Cheney will be particularly welcome. Just because the president holds no one accountable, it doesn’t mean we can’t.
