Bush: Good progress made in Iraq
"First of all, we suffer when we lose life. I mean, our country's a country that grieves with those who sacrifice. And our heartfelt sympathies and appreciation go to the loved ones of any soldier who's willing to defend the security of the United States, and that's what they're doing in Iraq," Bush said.
-- Translation --
I think we can all come to bi-partisan agreement regarding the threat those Iraqizoids represented at the start of this my greatest military victory so far this year. Any day at all those Iraqizoids could have floated right over to America's shores on homemade rafts together with a whole big pile of sharp sticks and rocks.
Our heartfelt sympathies and appreciation go to the loved ones of any soldier who's willing to die to defend America's vital oil supply. And that's exactly what they're trying to do in Iraq.
"We've got a lot of brave soldiers slowly but surely demolishing the elements of the Baathist regime, those foreign terrorists that feel like they can use Iraq as a place to arm up and inflict casualty, or perhaps gain strength to come and attack Americans elsewhere," Bush said.
Well, that appears to be the latest in a long list of blithering substantiations for the reasons we went to war with Iraq in the first place. And a poignantly pathetic one at that. Talk of WMD left the arena months ago. Now apparently so has the notion of even weapons programs. Never said that. Nope, never happened.
When asked how long the U.S. occupation would last, Bush said "as long as it takes to win this war on terror."

Forever.
In other news, Jessica Lynch is writing a book about her ordeal. She must be getting a little, uhm, help too. I recall on May 5, this is what they were saying about her:
Rescued prisoner of war Jessica Lynch is suffering from a form of memory loss that prevents her from recalling details from the time she was ambushed in Iraq to a point during her captivity there, authorities said Monday.
