OK, puns aside, Juan Cole found some television footage that could actually be described in Shrubian terms. Cole also points out that, contrary to Dear Leader's delusional claims, this sort of stuff is routinely self-edited by our brave media lords (lest they lose invites to all the really kewl DC dinner parties).
If you don't have time to watch, maybe read this...or this...and note how the latter is headlined--"US Diplomat Sees 'Progress'--even as Ryan Crocker's direct quote cites "fear" as the word he would use to sum up the atmosphere in Iraq.
I dunno: maybe Team Bush sees "fear" as progress. That's SOP over here...
