This example is a bit of a stretch, but I think it works. When we toppled Saddam's government in Iraq, we looked at the situation and decided that if we wanted a democratic government to stand, we to deal the people of Iraq in. We ran our infrastructure, economic development, and peacekeeping efforts through the Baghdad government so that people wouldn't rise up against the Baghdad government. Deal them in, they won't knock off the government.
Is this metaphor supposed to suggest that once Bushie has managed to get his weight down, he'll die from complications of the surgery?
