Bleak outlook

MSNBC - Pessimism grows about Iraq's future: "Inside the Green Zone, the heavily fortified U.S. administration compound that Salim was about to enter when the suicide bomber struck, expectations are grim. 'It will take a lot of doing for this not to end in a debacle,' a senior occupation official said. 'There is no confidence in the coalition. Why should there be?'"

So next time Bush tries to laud his boldness, resolve and leadership, try not to laugh too hard in his face.
