"When the Bush administration gets in trouble, it turns to war, which has worked for it in the past. Thus, this past week there was live coverage of 'Operation Swarmer,' which occupied a solid day on CNN and Fox 'News.' The venerable Washington Monthly reports that the hyped 'assault on Samarra' was nothing but a Potemkin operation – a set propaganda piece to demonstrate U.S. military prowess and the battle-ready 'new Iraqi army,' only there were no insurgents in Samarra to battle. The much-hyped 'Operation Swarmer' was a photo op for TV cameras as troops fired into empty desert." (From: A Collapsing Presidency: Will it take the country down with it?
