Today's theme is
Iraq is a disaster and George Bush is living in fantasy land. There's lots of useful links and my letter below the fold.
Please read my astroturfing diary entry for tips and ideas on how to get our side of the story into the media.

Every day brings a new story of killed American solders, kidnapped foreign nationals and dozens of dead Iraqis. Fatalities in Iraq have increased sharply in each of the past three months and this month is on a pace to be by far the worst of the war. More than 700 Iraqi police officers have been killed on top of many thousands of civilians. Large swaths of the country are under control of insurgents and even the so-called green zone is no longer safe.
When will George W. Bush recognize that there is a serious and growing problem in Iraq that requires action? Does he even have a plan?
