One you don't hear much about anymore is the power situation. After more than a year the power in Baghdad is still off more than it's on...this from the story in GQ magazine. One word to describe Iraq...Chaos. Orca

"The speech tonight was bizarre. It's like a parallel universe where things are going really well in Iraq except for a small handful of annoying individuals." I noticed a lot of the language was the same. All the bad people were "terrorists". He doesn't get that some Iraqi's simply don't want the US there and are willing to fight for that ideal. Just because you want the US out does that make you a terrorist? The retoric coming out of Iraq is interesting. A news report talking about the demolition of Abugarib prison reported that Saddam had "tortured" people there while US soldiers "abused" inmates. Maybe these "stress positions" do quite go as far as torture but I'm not sure I want to accept that idea based on the words used by the US military. So much BS and spin coming out of Iraq. People are seeing through it and once trusted the President but now wonder. Its truly remarkable that Bush could squander all the 9/11 goodwill he had. The Iraqi people also see through all the BS and that is a big part of the problem as well.

Bush may be in complete denial. Remember, he told Brit Hume he doesn't even read or watch TV other than what his staff tells him to read. And who tells his staff what to make him read? Bush could be controlled like a puppet by Cheney for all we know.

I had the same feeling. I vacillate between believing that he is completely-in-another-world-wacko, and that he is the biggest liar since Nixon. Either way, his view of the world is so skewed from reality, it's hard to even imagine what may be going on in his mind. Other than he is choking, realizing that his twin nightmare of losing the war on Al Qaeda and fumbling a huge lead in the polls. He does not yet realize that the best course for him is to lose; like a gambler who doesn't know when to quit while he is down. He must go.
