Iraqis are singing and dancing! They hold hands and sing songs about love and brotherhood! Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld have all told us how great things are and that the press is focusing on all the bad stuff that make it look worse than it is.

This was sent to Condoleeza Rice by the US embassador to Iraq just a few hours before Bush showed up in Bahgdad and told us all that the new Iraq is going great! :)

Are they signing copies of the videos of them dancing?

Yay! :D

Don't forget, Bush stayed for two hours, and those two hours inside the "green zone" absolutely erased any doubts he had.

Well, of course...

But he had "doubts" before?

All sarcasm aside, that memo paints a very bad picture of Iraq. I can't imagine living like that.

The Independent printed it on the front page a couple of days ago. The best bits are these:

- The Green Zone is guarded by terrorist sympathisers,

- The militias are at war with each other, so every time the US kills a "leader", it makes life a whole lot easier for someone else.

I'd say they were screwed. Let's see how long they can draw it out. My money says they'll beat the record they set in Vietnam. By a couple of years.

damn - why didnt i get invited to this party? :(

everyone's invited. Bring a couple heads of infidels, or kurds or whatever, just bring a couple heads and you can get in.
