Despite intense weekend clashes with Shiite militia, despite the continuing revelations about Iraqi prisoner abuse and, finally, despite the assassination(?) of the head of the Iraqi Governing Council - despite everything - BushCo. are lining up to tell us that none of this affects their plans for Iraq, none of this affects their timeline for handing over "power" to Iraqis at the end of June.
Nothing these morons have said about Iraq has been true: from WMD to being greeted as liberators; from "Mission Accomplished" to al Qaeda links. Not one word they've spoken has even been in the same neighborhood as the truth. And yet they keep spouting platitudes and guarantees as though we are just supposed to keep believing them. Sadly, it seems that somewhere around 45% of Americans do just that. They keep on believing in the face of obvious lies, in the face of dissembling and deceit.
Just another weekend in Bush Country.
