(Re)Writing History

There's a great scene at the end of rhe movie Waiting when the protagonist decidws to quit his job. His boss reacts irrately by telling him he's fired and , when told he'd already quit, angrily protests "I write the history book and this is how it went down."

it will be important to keep this in mind over the next 16 months as the petulent President looks to rewrite history to obscure his abject failure of leadership. He's got WaPo reprinting his upcoming authorized bio, the recent "I'm a dissident too" speeches, etc. I am heartened to read the pushback by Jerry Bremer - by all accounts a decent man who was just overmatched by the challenges in Baghdad - in the NYT and Eugene Robinson in the WaPo. Stay tuned.
