All this self congratulation about YKos and look at what is really happening:

We are on the verge of another milestone in Iraq! No doubt Bush timed his visit to come right after a fresh kill, but no-one seems to be noticing the pile of American corpses beyond the confines of the Green Zone. Bush isn't a gutsy dare devil for going to Iraq he's a dishonest salesman for a failed military strategery.
Can anyone honest say that Zakawi was worth 20,000 US casualties? seriously who the fuck was Zakawi before Bush invaded Iraq?
Bush is a truly gutless bastard who wallows in the contradictions. If iraq is so secure, such a profound success why did he have to keep his visit secret from the new Iraqi PM? Doesn't Bush trust the PM's staffers? why did Bush have to have an escort squadron?
Obviously the answer is that Iraq is a disaster. The insurgents will fight for 5 years until the US goes away. If not 5 then 10, if not 10 then 15 years.
Don't serious commentators understand this reality?
