"We're making progress," Bush says
Ok, President Bush, we know we're making progress in building schools, health clinics, supplying water and electricity to homes and all of the other infrastructure things that can happen if taxpayer money is poured onto a dirt road. The troops coming home tell us this is happening.
But if we are making progress in stopping the insurgency, which is what you implied over and over again in your speech tonight, stop lying. As of this moment in history, the insurgency is killing more people than ever, though not Americans but Iraqis.
We (Americans) believe in your call for freedom for Iraqis, Mr. President, but don't lie to us. That's how we got into this in the first place. Because the lies are building up, the trust by Americans in your call to action is falling.
