Oh the progress...you can smell it, feel it, hear it

The smell of burnt flesh, fuel, and gunpower.

It smells like wankery!

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A series of explosions struck commercial areas in Baghdad within hours Saturday, killing at least 17 people and dealing a blow to a huge government operation to secure the capital.

The blasts — seven within five hours — brought the death toll around
Iraq to at least 23 people. The bombings also wounded at least 72. A day earlier, a suspected shoe bomber blew himself up inside one of Baghdad's most prominent Shiite mosques, killing 13 people.

When the government of Iraq starts conducting its sessions outside of the green zone, when the Iraq government can publish a schedule of events outside ot the green zone, when Bush can have prearranged visits outside of the green zone and American bases in Iraq, then perhaps we can call it progress.

Until then, everything else is assumed to be a PsyOp.

And probably is.
