The Kennebunkport Cowboy


Regardless of what is actually happening in Iraq (stronger militia insurgency, Iraqi Parliament disintegrating along sectarian lines, sustained violence, etc.), Dumbya sees a pony in this pile of crap. Speaking in a radio address from his mommy and daddy's place, the Preznit said "Our new strategy is delivering good results." That will undoubtedly be the opening sentence in next month's "report" on surge "progress."

He also said we're killing "al Qaeda" terrorists at an average of 1,500 per month since January. Of course, you can probably take that number and subtract 1,400 Shiite faction insurgents, bystanders, various Sunni/Baathist deadenders to get the true number of "al Qaeda" killings. But the White House figures it has to get the American public thinking we're fighting the same people that attacked us on 9/11, rather than factions in a sectarian war.
