B is for . . .
President Bush announced on Tuesday implementation of the so-called "Plan B" to pressure the Sudanese government on Darfur. Details were laid out last month in a speech at the Holocaust Memorial Museum. Reaction was fairly predictable. Most advocates felt it was too little, too late. China and Russia felt it was too much, too soon. Former White House official Michael Gerson argued that it was a "big enough stick" in his WaPo op-ed column. Ditto the New York Times. UN officials want more time (no, really) for diplomacy.

Tick, tock. Tick, tock.
