Writing that last post, I was reminded of a line in Star Wars Episode I. The leader of the Naboo security forces tells the Queen, "This is a battle I do not think that we can win." Back out here in the real world, it seems that when faced with a battle that we cannot win, the administration simply makes the whole war go away.
A few lines later, when the Queen is warned of the consequences if her plan should fail, she replies, "That is why we must not fail." I know that, at this moment, I can't explain why it is we must not fail now.
