The Tinkerbell theory on Iraq.

Someone needs to tell George Bush that wishing doesn't make it so.

DUBAI The training of Iraqi security forces has suffered a big "setback" in the last six months, with the army and other forces being increasingly used to settle scores and make other political gains, Iraqi Vice President Ghazi al-Yawer said Monday.

You can clap as much as you want Mr. Bush, Tinkerbell is dying.

(Later) Question: With the current Iraqi government facing an election in ten days, do they have an incentive to try to pin all the failures in Iraq on the US? If so, I would expect to see more of this.

  • Very smart movie on the Iraqi government's part, don't you think? But not very helpful to Bush.

  • We're turning that country into another Afghanistan! Warlord Nation! Pretty soon poppies, hashish! Hooray! We won!

  • Re your update, I think that is exactly right. If the U.S. really is planning to withdraw before November, they have every right to be positively furious.
