WASHINGTON (AP) -- The top American commander in the Persian Gulf told Congress on Thursday that the Iraqi insurgency has not grown weaker over the past six months, despite a claim by Vice President Dick Cheney that it was in its "last throes."

Same old story. Bush Administration divorced from reality. People on the ground not so fortunate. Just an update.

Link? Having trouble finding it. The CNN article is dated for today so it should be up front.
