Bring it on: Let me comment in passing that Bush's Thanksgiving visit to Iraq, though clearly arranged by his PR flacks to upstage Hillary Clinton, was a commendable gesture to boost the morale of our troops.

But if Team Dubya really believed in the "flypaper strategy" that Bush apologists were flacking back in May and June… then shouldn't they have announced the visit three months in advance, taken Bush on a leisurely sweep through Baghdad, Tikrit and the Sunni Triangle, and dared the terrorists to do something about it?

Or was all that noise about a "flypaper strategy" just a bunch of hokum?
