Great Iraq News!

Iraq is being stabilized!

I don't have the direct quote, but AP reporter and ofttimes unofficial transmitter of the Bush Administration's talking points, Ms. Nedra Pickler wrote in this piece that President Bush said today that, 'progress has been made in stabilizing Iraq in the year since he declared an end to major combat.'

Most excellent!

Meanwhile, actually in Iraq, April is officially the deadliest month for coalition forces, and the other arm of the AP is reporting that at least 1,361 Iraqis were killed in the same time period.

Call me a skeptic, but the math doesn't equal 'progress being made in stabilizing Iraq.'

If the MBA President can't fathom the simple metrics of the situation, the average citizen(that would be me) must be utterly baffled. :)
