Oh, Jesus Christ. You can't possibly be this stupid. The Bush administration has been lying about there being progress in Iraq for more than four years now, and you still believe it each time.

Bush asked for a bigger shovel, and announces "Progress!!" made with each shovelful. Then he dumps the shovelful on the media, who lap it up and announce the Preznit is just being true to his values. We ARE making Progress, though, in the opposite direction: Getting us out of the hole. The House has passed the end-the-war Bill, and the Senate process is going to get interesting. I want to see just how many brave GOP stalwarts fulfill their blood-sworn vow to fall on their daggers to protect and defend the legacy of their party and their dear Führer. Answer: maybe not so many, and fewer and fewer as their Election date gets closer and closer, and they realize they are going to have to give up their membership in the Congressional Golf and Athletic Clubs, their elite Capitol parking spot, and they will have to say good-bye and good luck to their well-paid staff with tears in their eyes.
