The good news out of Iraq is that they will be able to resume pumping oil in a week, the bad news is they are now able to pump 0 through the pipe lines. More good news slightly under half Iraqis feel safe in their own neighborhoods. This sounds like a country ready for a democratic society? The chief of security for the oil ministry killed today, politicians in Iraq dropping like flies, purely a political pass off to transfer power at this time, but the responsibility will still lay with Bush for creating this mess.

Try reading, instead of spinning: WASHINGTON - A poll of Iraqis commissioned by the U.S.-backed government has provided the Bush administration a stark picture of anti-American sentiment — more than half of Iraqis believe they would be safer if U.S. troops simply left. The poll, commissioned by the Coalition Provisional Government last month but not released to the American public, also found radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr is surging in popularity, 92 percent of Iraqis consider the United States an occupying force and more than half believe all Americans behave like those portrayed in the Abu Ghraib prison abuse photos.. "If you are sitting here as part of the coalition, it (the poll) is pretty grim," said Donald Hamilton, a career foreign service officer who is working for Ambassador Paul Bremer's interim government and helps oversee the CPA's polling of Iraqis.
