"I applaud the heroic efforts of Iraqi negotiators and appreciate their work to resolve remaining issues through continued negotiation and dialogue," Bush said in a statement released at his Texas ranch.

"Iraqi leaders have announced that they have made substantial progress toward a draft constitution," Bush said as endorsed the move to continue the discussions in search of an "enduring consensus."

"Their efforts are a tribute to democracy and an example that difficult problems can be solved peacefully through debate, negotiation, and compromise," the president said.

2. the Iraqis will be inspired by Bush's encouraging words
I can't think of a better messenger for this message:

"Their efforts are a tribute to democracy and an example that difficult problems can be solved peacefully through debate, negotiation, and compromise," the president said.

3. He loves to use that rule of reversals!
"problems can be solved peacefully through debate, negotiation, and compromise"

Everything he says is the opposite of what he does!

Do they think that people are still buying their BS??

5. "forge"
To make or imitate falsely esp. with intent to defraud: counterfeit

Should have thought about that headline a little bit longer.
