Five months of No Progress

How much longer can the Bush Regime continue to lie and get away with it? At least another 9 months they hope:

Bush administration officials have been saying they hope to reduce the number of U.S. troops in Iraq this year, assuming the Iraqi government and its forces can take a wider role in the war and keeping order.

Pace said only one Iraqi army battalion is capable of fighting without U.S. help. That is the same number as in September, when U.S. commanders disclosed that the number of such highly trained battalions had dropped from three to one, prompting criticism from lawmakers.

The administration has been under pressure to bring more American troops home. A study commissioned by the Pentagon said last month that the wear and tear of the U.S. deployment in Iraq was beginning to wear down the Army and questioned how much longer it could continue operating there at full effectiveness.


We ... are ... fucked.

I wonder who has said that before?

Oh, yeah, Joe Wilson the man the Bush Regime retaliated against via the always "manly" method of his wife, way back in the Summer of 2003.
