Fraying?

Maybe this has been noticed before, but it was new to us. This week, Doonesbury has Bush interviewing a candidate for Secretary of Toady Affairs. Ever since the Iraq war, the cartoonist, Gary Trudeau, has portrayed Bush as an asterisk wearing a Roman centurion's helmet. At first, the helmet was in superb shape, but now it's looking shop-worn (or worse). No single panel shows the complete helmet, so we took components from several panels and combined them into this single image.



Dings on the sides. A broken golden span at the forehead. Lost and bent bristles (or whatever you call those dark-red fibers at the top).

Is Trudeau saying that the Iraq war is going badly? So badly that it's beginning to tarnish Bush's image?
