Bush: keep the egg from fully cracking

god help us:
MR. LEHRER: Is there a little bit of a broken egg problem here, Mr. President, that there is instability and there is violence in Iraq - sectarian violence, Iraqis killing other Iraqis, and now the United States helped create the broken egg and now says, okay, Iraqis, it's your problem. You put the egg back together, and if you don't do it quickly and you don't do it well, then we'll get the hell out.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Yeah, you know, that's an interesting question. I don't quite view it as the broken egg; I view it as the cracked egg -- (ed: he was so proud of himself for this)

MR. LEHRER: Cracked egg?

PRESIDENT BUSH: -- that - where we still have a chance to move beyond the broken egg. And I thought long and hard about the decision, Jim. Obviously it's a big decision for this theater in the war on terror, and you know, if I didn't believe we could keep the egg from fully cracking, I wouldn't ask 21,000 kids - additional kids to go into Iraq to reinforce those troops that are there.

I think Dopey should have stayed away from the word "cracked". Besides, a cracked egg is a goner, everybody knows that, but Dopey.

Anyone ever read The Crack In the Cosmic Egg, by Joseph Chilton Pierce? It's about metanoia, a larger view.

And then there's Exploring the Crack, same author.
