An NBC reporter asked many times "Do you understand why Americans don't believe you when you say Iraq is doing well?" It was hilarious.
John King of CNN is asking why he said the NIE was "just guessing" about the situation on the ground. Bush just admitted that he used "an unfortunate word".

Doing the same thing and expecting different results means you do not have a handle on what is going on in Iraq." Ileana Ross-Lehtinen is toeing the party line: "Can't send a mixed signal... stay the course... support the troops..."
