Meanwhile, In Iraq...
..The carnage continues. WaPo reports nearly 100 new deaths at the hands of suicide bombers in the second most secure area in Iraq.

But, always the cheerleader, GW Bush continues to make the dubious claim - as 48 more Iraqis are killed in suicide blasts - that "Iraq is making amazing progress from the days of being under the thumb of a brutal dictator."

Sure, it's great that Saddam is on trial, and no longer a threat, but Bush's assertion(s) that "amazing Progress" is being made must certainly be a transparently bogus claim with Iraqis under constant threat of instant death, high unemployment, lack of basic services, and rampant corruption.

Sorry about being two days behind, but I feel it's much more important to be accurate, than to be first.
