Someone should hit this WH press secretary with a boomerang.

In today’s press briefing, White House Press Secretary Tony Snow tried to argue that the Nov. 7 midterm elections could be read as a mandate for President Bush to increase U.S. troops in Iraq:

QUESTION: Tony, the president obviously, though, did not read what happened November 7th as a mandate to start bringing troops home.

SNOW: The president believes that — if you take a look at the elections, you can read any number of messages. I mean, when people were asked in exit interviews what was their top concern, Iraq was number four; corruption was number one.
