What does the word "weakness" mean to you?
From God's lips to Inerrant Boy's ear:
Truly weird.
Inability to admit error. That's not weakness?
Wishful thinking and faith-based planning. That's not weakness?
Seeking revenge on truthtellers (Snow, Clarke, Shinseki). That's not weakness?
Really, this does remind me of 1984: "Ignorance is Strength."
UPDATE An off-by-one error in "1984" fixed, thanks to alert readers.
"My resolve is firm," [Bush] said in a speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. "This is an historic moment. The world watches for weakness in our resolve. They will see no weakness. We will answer every challenge."
