Bush's Defense Dept. setting up "war room" -- to spin the war, not figure out how to end it

If the Bush administration spent a fraction of the time on Iraq policy that spends on Iraq politics and p.r., we might not be in this mess. Their latest venture is setting up a full time spin operation at the Pentagon:

Shaping the Bush administration’s message on the Iraq war has taken on new fervor, just as anticipation is building for the September progress report from top military advisers.

For the Pentagon, getting out Iraq information will now include a 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week Iraq Communications Desk that will pump out data from Baghdad — serving as what could be considered a campaign war room.

A campaign war room for the war. That's the Bush administration in action.
