From Saturday's NYT:
" The administration acknowledges that it has a major uphill effort to convince Americans — not to mention the Europeans — of the reasons for going to war, but says much of their case comes down to asking Americans to place blind faith in the administration.
"It really comes down to whether or not the country trusts President Bush's judgment, knowing that he knows a lot more than the country knows," a senior administration official told reporters on Air Force One this week."
Why would anyone trust this administration? They've been willing to lie consistently, and don't seem to think it should ever do any damage to their goals. Now they need people to trust them? This is another indication that the current administration's primary defining element will be remembered as incompetence. They just screw up everything they touch.
