Irreality

I've mocked Bush's "makin' progress" speeches before.

But this is so patently ridiculous the tragi-comedy writes itself:

WASHINGTON (AP) - President George W. Bush said Saturday he is encouraged by the increasing size and capability of the Iraqi security forces, touting progress on a key measure of when U.S. troops can come home.

The upbeat remarks in Bush's weekly radio address came two days after the top commander in Iraq said only one Iraqi battalion is ready to fight without U.S. support.
