CBS Meyer: Lone Ranger Bush; No Silver Bullet
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/05/16/opinion/meyer/main617701.shtml

Presidents trapped in enemy territory can look for help from three sources: allies, propagandists and partisans.

Our man on the white horse has but one ally, Tony Blair, and at this stage of the conflict there's not much the British Prime Minister can do to help Mr. Bush at home, abroad or in Iraq.

Many widely read propagandists in the American media articulated the administration's case for war and occupation better than the administration ever did; many have now gone wobbly.

And the partisans, Congressional Republicans, badly burned after they bought the administration's WMD bill of goods, are deeply wary, especially after Abu Ghraib.

The Lone Ranger is in a tight spot.

4. Rove is Tonto? I thought Powell was Tonto. Who is your vote for Tonto?
My choice is Powell and I am sticking to it.
