Bush to Acknowlege Mistakes, Tout Iraq Success

"The official said it is perfectly appropriate for TV pictures to show the horrible things that are happening in Iraq. But, he said, that coverage must be balanced with reporting that shows that in some areas Iraqi quality of living has greatly improved (!!) since the fall of Saddam Hussein. So Bush will cite specific examples of progress, the kind of good news he believes lacks the drama to get on the nation's TV screens.

So you say, this all sounds very familiar. And you ask, haven't we heard the president do this good news thing before? Yes, we have. But any advertising executive will tell you that repetition is a key to successful selling. And, as any White House aide will tell you, what the president is doing is very little compared with the repetition night after night after night of explosive devices maiming and killing Iraqis and Americans.

We asked a senior official whether the president might strain his credibility if he sounds too upbeat about the war. No, said the official, the president will not paint an all-rosy picture. According to the official, Bush will acknowledge shortcomings by saying here are some things that worked, here are some things that didn't work. The official said the president will admit that some tactics had to be changed and that "we are learning as we go.""

So... Let's see... Catapulting the propaganda (Rove-style) has helped to get him this (33%) low so far... ummm...

Send The Cabal Of Liars To The Hague.


Edit: (!!) = mine... "greatly improved" (!!) If it wasn't so sad, I would laugh!

1. Nine billion dollars are still missing.

I imagine Mr. Chalabi's quality of living has improved quite a bit.

2. I keep hearing this administration say that we never hear the

good news from Iraq. Since no one seems willing to report this supposedly good news, I have to assume that there is none. When I look to this source:

A lot of data there, but I don't see anything that I can consider good news.
