GA-Sen: Chambliss says progress in Iraq is "truly amazing!"

Boy, does Georgia, our country, and our troops in Iraq deserve much better than this driveling fool and proud member of the Lieberman Iraq Caucus:

As the Pentagon notified some 35,000 soldiers to prepare for a fall deployment to Iraq, Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia said Tuesday he found "truly amazing" progress during a trip to the country this weekend [...]

"Every time I go over there the improvements in the conditions are truly amazing," Chambliss said in a noon conference call with reporters after his fifth visit to the country. "It's very encouraging to me to see the progress."

And back on planet Earth:

Chambliss traveled to Iraq with several other members of Congress as part of an Intelligence Committee fact-finding tour. His comments contrasted with those of another Republican in the delegation, Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine, who said in a weekend interview that she found little to be cheerful about.

"The good news is mixed; the bad news is downright troubling," Snowe said.

Not that Snowe will do anything about it. She is a Republican, after all, and protecting Bush from his f' up is her and her colleagues' top priority.
