You will not believe this NYT article:
For President, Smaller Goals in Iraq and a Focus on the Process
Read the whole thing. Bush is lowering the bar to about an inch off the ground. Now everything is about the "process." We might not succeed in making Iraq a democracy, but as long as there is some kind of democratic "process" going on, the mission is on track. Unbelievable.
And don't miss the last two paragraphs. You won't believe your eyes, how could something like that get into the Times?
Then read Dear Leader's thought about recent events in Iraq here:
