Mmmmm! Taste Some Fact-Free Spin, America!
Nice.
President Bush had a nearly hour-long secure video teleconference with Iraqi leaders on Monday and came away impressed and reassured by the progress they're making on political, security and economic reforms, the White House said.Then, a few paragraphs later in the same story:
A Pentagon report released last week concluded that violence in Iraq edged higher during a four-month period between February and May — despite the U.S.-led security push in Baghdad. The report also raised questions about Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's ability to fulfill a pledge made in January to prohibit political interference in security operations and to allow no safe havens for sectarian militias.It's all public relations and spin for this White House. Tragic.

Quit your complaining! Without stuff like this for fodder- you'd be out of a job!! (Well, ok. I guess there's always stuff like this somewhere- just a shame it has to be the leader of our entire country!)
Let's flee and see what happens.
'Tis true, MRW. As you know, satire/parody is harder than it's ever been. The work is too often done for us by those who would normally be subject to satire/parody. Oh, the cruel irony!
we deserve so much better. Then again.... *looking out the window at some American's* Maybe "We" got what the majority deserved.
Hey Bush is happy with Iraq as long as the off-shore platforms keep pumping oil with no metering of the quantity.
