Midstream, but no change of horses on the horizon

The press is treating the fact that Bush is meeting with his "senior advisors" on the way forward in Iraq as though this is some kind of dog bites man piece of newsery.

Or rather, the Bush administration seems to feel that news of such a meeting will "reassure" the public that, in the words of either Don Gonyea or Wan Williams on NPR, this administration is "being proactive."

Sheesh.
