President George W. Bush gave a speech today and said the Iraqi Government is making "remarkable progress" and credited the "surge" of U.S. troops over the past year not only for improving security but for slowly encouraging "a rebirth of civil society."
See, it must be me. Maybe I'm not up to speed on what "remarkable progress" actually means, because I'm thinking "remarkable progress" would not look like this or this or this or this or this.
But, then again, I live here in the "reality based community" as opposed to the Bushies who live in this place:
"That’s not the way the world really works anymore,” the Bush aide told the journalist. “We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality – judiciously, as you will – we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors … and you, all of you, will be left to study what we do.”
My husband told me that he read a comment online somewhere that said that the next President of the United States should make appointing George W. Bush the Ambassador to Iraq the first order of business. Dick Cheney could be DCM. Nothing would be sweeter than letting those two live in the reality based world for a change.
Update: If the events happening at this Embassy were occurring at any other US Embassy in the world, it would have been shut down months - if not years - ago. Unbelievable.
