"These Are Not America's Puppets...and Pay No Attention to the Strings Attached"

I took the time last night to catch the replay of Bush's "press conference." If your stomach is strong enough, you can view a RealMedia file over at C-Span (title: President Bush on Iraqi Transition Government).

Once again, Bush showed a startling lack of understanding as to the real situation in Mesopotamia--with one exception. I noticed a certain glimmer of recognition, and a big old shit eating grin, when he remarked upon the performance of the new Iraqi security forces. "Some didn't stand up and do their duty," he said.

Hmmn. Sounds like he knows a lot about THAT.
