Amanpour calls Bush's Iraq a "black hole - getting worse". But Bush will spin Iraq as if it's Disneyland in the making. AMANPOUR: Well, you know, looking at that heartbreaking video tape of her, I mean, it's really heart wrenching. The first video tape was more composed as her friends have said. And here in the second one, you know, after being held for weeks she is crying and she is desperate. And who can imagine what is going through her head. I mean, obviously it is the most awful situation for anybody to be in. I mean, the most awful. And it is sad because she has devoted her life to understanding the Iraqis. She dresses a lot like them when she is there. She goes out and about. She is not one of these mega-closeted, mega-guarded, you know, network correspondents like we are. And she has tried to do her best to understand the situation. So hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, she will be released. I mean, you know, what else can we hope for? And certainly her family are hoping for that as well. But I just think it is so sad. I mean, by an indicator Iraq is a black hole. Yes, they have had elections. What kind of a government are they going to come up with. Will it be a national unity government? Or will it be the one that sows the seeds of civil war? Yes, the U.S. has promise reconstruction, but the United States inspector general for reconstruction is about to come out with a report that is saying that it is just not going apace and that it is difficult to see, according to this report, how they are ever going to get what they promised done. Which means, according to a new poll that is coming out today, that most of the Iraqi people are now losing hope that the promised reconstruction is going to happen and that the quality of their lives is going to increase. This is a big drama because hope is the only thing they have in the middle of this spiralling security disaster. And by any indication whether you take the number of journalists killed or wounded, whether you take the number of American soldiers killed or wounded, whether you take the number of Iraqi soldiers killed and wounded, contractors, people working there, it just gets worse and worse.

>> Maybe Tush's address will explain to this generation how good they have it. Becoming more and more difficult for the 30 somethings to even consider the financial burden of having children after paying off school. biz.yahoo.com << How does this problem reconcile with NCLB - - No child left behind, that he brags about (yet is another failure). If he were to address this issue his response would be spun once again, to make himself look good, - in other words - - No CHIMP left behind. That's all he cares about.
