"Americans have seen this story before. The promise starts as absolute. The explanation becomes conditional. The fulfillment is declared retroactively." Sadly, a summary of this entire term in office. Well done Glenn and thanks for the Sourcebase note. I will follow up.
Glenn, while I agree with the premise and content of your story, I think some of those people aren’t really falling for it, as much as they just don’t seem to care.

Very insightful. And of course the same thing is happening with the Iran War. Victory is now being defined as something very different than the initial definitive declaration that the definition of victory would be complete and total surrender by the Iranian regime (or any of several other promises). It now seems to be defined as opening the Strait of Hormuz (which of course was open, and in fact less fraught with uncertainty, before the war).

Yes, he’s trying to spin it. But the comments at the WSJ are extremely negative and they have many conservative readers.
