RE: It's true, not only hasn't Bush "lied" about this, he's never said it.
WASHINGTON – President Bush said Monday that U.S. progress in Iraq was making insurgents more "desperate" and spurring attacks such as the bombings at the international Red Cross headquarters and four police stations across Baghdad that killed dozens of people.
"The more progress we make on the ground, the more free the Iraqis become, the more electricity that's available, the more jobs are available, the more kids that are going to school, the more desperate these killers become," Bush told reporters at the White House.
He said those continuing to engage in violence "can't stand the thought of a free society. They hate freedom. They love terror. They love to try to create fear and chaos."

We still haven't got electricity up to pre war levels in Baghdad...and this is after two plus years. Progress is something the Bush Administration likes to talk about, but little progress is made in making the people safer. In fact the death tolls continue to climb for both Americans and Iraqis, while the quality of life has plummeted. Electricity and water are no where near the pre war levels. The readiness of the new Iraqi Army has gone down. What is wrong with this picture?
We have an administration who's willing to veto the defense spending bill because of McCain's bill to ensure decent treatment of detainees.
This administration has bungled the "war on terror", and has turned Iraq into chaos...with no end in sight.
These folks have no vision, no plan, no world cooperation...and finally Americans are waking up to the fact that these guys are goofballs who have squandered the support we had after 9-11, and who have added an illegal war in Iraq in the name of the "war on terror".
Pat Tillman even said the war in Iraq was #V@#ing illegal.
What a sorry state of affairs this administration has wrought.
