Meanwhile, about the Older Clusterfuck

Fresh off an article from Associated Press correspondent Charles Hanley which laid out and proved that the WMD claims of the Bush Administration were known to be lies comes this little inspirational update on the success we have had in Iraq.

Abu Musab Zarqawi's foreign-led Al Qaeda in Iraq took open control of a key western town at the Syrian border, deploying its guerrilla fighters in the streets and flying Zarqawi's black banner from rooftops, witnesses, residents and others in the city and surrounding villages said.

A sign newly posted at the entrance of Qaim declared, "Welcome to the Islamic Kingdom of Qaim." A statement posted in mosques described Qaim as an "Islamic kingdom liberated from the occupation."


It should be said that this town and others have been under the de facto controlled of islamic extremists for a prolonged period, it is just that the Washington Post is taking notice of it now.

Just to be clear for the President, this is NOT a sign of progress for your policy.
