Dammit, "Office 2007" sucks

Not only did they "conveniently lose" all those emails.

Condi lost her "Nobody could have anticipated" macro.

Iraq's three-man presidency council Wednesday announced that it's vetoed legislation that U.S. officials two weeks ago hailed as significant political progress...

Cue the Michael O'Hanlon fainting couch.

The rejected bill, which sets out the political structure for Iraq's provincial governments and establishes a basis for elections in October, was only the second of 18 U.S.-set political benchmarks that the war-tore nation needs to reach.

Parliament considered it in a bundle with two other bills, a general amnesty and a budget, and approved it on Feb. 12 in what was welcomed in Washington as an example of good government, compromise and progress toward national unity.

Now the question is whether parliament is willing to revise the measure.

"It was a package deal. Now that package is broken," said Joost Hiltermann, an Iraq expert at the International Crisis Group in Amman, Jordan.

One cannot misunderestimate the importance of the appearance of a "package" to the Bush Administration.

Dammit, that progress was reported?

Who besides the generally reliable McClatchy will report the evaporation?
