Bush had his tool Secretary of State go on the Today Show yesterday to talk up the Administration's delusional view of the war in Iraq. As Monday and the deadline for Bush's excuses for the situation in Iraq approaches, the White House is defending the status quo by saying that things are getting better over there. Of course that is hardly the case.
From ThinkProgress:
[I]f you look at the way that they are fighting now, in a less sectarian fashion…I think they’re fighting on behalf of all Iraqis, where they showed up in the numbers that they are supposed to.
Are you kidding me??? Iraqis are constantly fighting each other, escalating the violence day by day, week by week and month by month. Shias, Sunnis and even the Kurds are incessantly killing each other in a never-ending civil war. Many of them join the army to exact revenge on one another. They also frequently surprise the American troops that are there to train them.
For the love of humanity Condi, please come back to earth and talk about what goes on there with at least a shred of truth.
