Earth to Condi

From Time Magazine's article, "The Condi Doctrine":

Rice told TIME she believes the insurgents are "losing steam" as a political force, even though their ability to kill and maim at will appears undiminished. When Rice points to "rather quiet political progress" while the country remains embroiled in chaos, even some of her backers cringe. Says a Republican elder statesman: "I don't have any sense of where she thinks she's going on Iraq."

Losing steam. Last throes. Is it any wonder that BushCo's numbers are losing steam?
