Seeing as how Dick Cheney's laughability meter has jumped the shark

Or shart, as it is. So the Administration has turned to the next liar in line, Condi Rice, to make the following stupid remarks:

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says the insurgency in Iraq is losing steam as a political force, even as Democratic congressmen warned Sunday that violence jeopardizes plans for withdrawing some troops.

Rice, in an article appearing on Time magazine's Web site, argued against viewing the war solely through the rising death toll. More than 1,820 American troops have died in Iraq, at least 30 of them in the last week.

"It's a lot easier to see the violence and suicide bombing than to see the rather quiet political progress that's going on in parallel," Rice said.

"If you think about how to defeat an insurgency, you defeat it not just militarily but politically," she said, adding that she believes the insurgents are "losing steam" politically.

One gets the feeling they are now simply talkng to that 38% too ignorant or too desperate to not see through their bullshit anymore.
