MR. McCLELLAN: There were tremendous sacrifices for the efforts to bring stability to the Fallujah area, both Iraqi forces, as well as American forces. We're all working together to bring about stability throughout Iraq, so that we can move forward on elections at the end of January. And the Iraqi election commission has set the date for January 30th, and we are all committed to helping the Iraqis move forward to hold these elections. But we've always said that as we move closer to elections and move forward on building a democratic Iraq, that the terrorists and the Saddam holdouts would become more desperate and seek to derail that transition.
What we are seeing is that they are being defeated, but we cannot forget the sacrifices of our men and women in the military who are partnering with the Iraqi people to prevail in this central front in the war on terrorism.
Read that bolded part....none of the fawning puppy press corps even bothered to call him on it. That's how jaded they've become, how the administrations' lies have just become part of the woodwork at these "press briefings". Can you imagine the knots li'l Scottie would be tied up in if just one of those weenies asked him "Gee, Scottie, can you tell us again just how Iraq is the central front of the war on terror? We thought that the guys who knocked down the WTC were based in Afghanistan, and isn't the guy who led them somewhere on the Pakistan/Afghanistan border?" Now pardon me whilst I go and use my head to put a few more dents in my wall....
