Do we know anything about iraqthemodel.com?
That's the website that Georgie quoted today about how wonderful things are in Iraq.

The domain is registered through Domains By Proxy, and redirects to blogspot. Call me paranoid, but I have a gut feeling that this is Rove's website, with a couple of Iraqi dentists as front guys.

Know anything?

2. The two "average Iraqi" bloggers are brothers who have visited B*sh at the White House.
As other people have mentioned, B*sh and their Blog
seem to share the same speechwriter. The same phrases
appear on the same days, in the same ways.

Maybe they get the same "daily talking points" as Foxnews
and their ilk; or maybe the whole blog is actually being
written by one of Turdblossom's assistants. Either way,
it's laughably transparent White House propaganda.

4. Did they ever do pics or tape?
Because, I suspect they'd be marked men when they returned to Iraq. Just a funny feeling that a photo-op with George Bush gets you a most wanted poster in Baghdad.

6. I do not know. But that's a fine point you raise.
If these guys are actually in Bagdhad as they claim,
it's gotta be in a Green Zone hotel room. They wouldn't
last 3 days anywhere else.

3. Sad, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

5. Here you go - typical eff-up by the Monkey
"Only hours later did the White House reveal that the bloggers were brothers, Mohammed and Omar Fadhil, and these supposedly little-known average Joes had met Bush in the Oval Office in 2004. They are dentists and write an English-language blog from Baghdad called IraqTheModel.com, also available via Pajamas Media".

"The White House admitted that Bush had plundered the lines from an op-ed that the brothers wrote for The Wall Street Journal way back on March 5. The White House couldn't even get the date right, as it turned out it actually appeared on March 7".
