An easy comparison:

White House 'FACT OF THE DAY' 02/13/2004

"Yesterday, Iraq was granted observer status in the World Trade Organization. The vote was unanimous - all 146 WTO members supported Iraq's bid."

Bully!

pure bs 'fact of the day' 02/14/2004

"FALLUJAH, Iraq (AP) Guerrillas overwhelmed an Iraqi police station west of Baghdad on Saturday, meeting little resistance as they went room to room shooting police in a bold, well-organized assault that killed 23 people and freed dozens of prisoners, officials said.

The fierce daylight attack in Fallujah raised questions whether Iraqi police and defense forces are ready to battle insurgents as the U.S. military pulls back from the fight in advance of the November U.S. presidential election.

Police in the Fallujah station complained they had only small arms nothing larger than an automatic rifle in the face of dozens of fighters armed with heavy machine guns, hand grenades and rocket-propelled grenades. No U.S. forces took part in the battle.

Before the attack, the gunmen set up checkpoints and blocked the road leading to the police station, but residents did not notify police, Deputy Interior Minister Ahmed Kadhum Ibrahim said in Baghdad. Nearby storeowners were warned not to open Saturday morning, one shopkeeper in Fallujah said.

The battle left 17 policemen, two civilians and four attackers dead. At least 37 people were wounded, nearly all police. Two wounded attackers were captured, but the rest escaped."

It's great news that the WTO vote was unanimous. The contrasting story isn't so good. I guess this is what C-Span Baghdad is going to covering to give a more 'balanced' tone to the reporting? Not likely.

The White House could have had C-Span Baghdad up and running in one day. The most likely reason it is not up yet, is because it is so very dangerous to all living things in Iraq.

Yes, the war planners did their jobs very well, but the civilian a$$holes won the day, and this is the part of the price tag for their arrogance. I'm certain that the Iraqi people would like to thank Messrs. Rumfeld and Wolfowitz for their brilliance.
