Iraq is worse than reported
If Bush is looking for someone to fire in his administration, I would suggest whoever it was that came up with the idea attacking the press for not covering "the good news" in Iraq. Man, oh man, was that a poorly conceived strategy.
What's flowed from that is a series of reports, a couple of which I cited yesterday, about the true state of Iraq, and the unanimous answer from the reporters in the field seems to be coming back that it is far worse than is currently being reported. I've seen so many of these over the past few days, NYTimes, CNN, WaPo, Time.
This video clip of Laura Logan of CBS news sums up the tone pretty well. (5 minutes.)
(Show me the good news when 30 decapitated bodies are found outside Baghdad.)

Did you catch Rice this morning?
There was some serious nonsense out of Condoleezza this morning on both MTP and Late Edition. I blogged with transcripts and excerpts.
Basically, she said that Saddam was part of an ideology that contributed to 9/11 even if he did not knowingly do so. He represented the Old Middle East and we needed a New one. Of course, this "new" one looks like a hyper version of the old one.

Oh, I didn't see that. That's just a horrific slurry of lies.
