"The president then offered a quick summation of his strategy in Iraq: "We're making darn good progress."
But the same article records:
"More than 130 Iraqis and seven US soldiers were killed yesterday in one of the deadliest days of insurgent attacks since the fall of Saddam Hussein...
More than 240 people have been killed and 280 wounded since the new year, a death toll comparable with some of the bloodiest weeks since the US-led invasion in March 2003. Insurgents also continued their attacks on the country's infrastructure, sabotaging an oil pipeline near the northern city of Kirkuk, causing a huge fire."
I am not in a position to judge the situation in Iraq but disintegration into all-out civil war seems an increasingly real possibility. But still, it is good to know that President Bush thinks differently.
