Iraq War

Bush lied about how many troops would be sent to Iraq in his misnamed "troop surge."

He said 21,500, but we've already increased troop levels by more than 20,000 and less than half of the "surge" has happened.

Bush said the surge would have specific goals.

Yesterday, he moved the goal posts. Again.

Read the details in the NYT, registration required.

The Bush administration will not try to assess whether the troop increase in Iraq is producing signs of political progress or greater security until September, and many of Mr. Bush’s top advisers now anticipate that any gains by then will be limited, according to senior administration officials.

When a Repuglican opens either side of their mouths, expect a lie. Remember, the Bush Administration is not going to make any judgements until September. No matter how well things go or no matter had badly things go.

What a great leader to run a war.
