Bush spinning reality away...

President George W. Bush appealed (2005/12/18) to Americans not to give in to "defeatism" in Iraq, warning of more sacrifice in the months ahead but insisting, "We are winning the war in Iraq."

What would it be like if the US were losing? It is saddening to see all the bungling that started with the occupation, sometimes out of stupidity, sometimes out of interests (see for instance Night draws near by A. Shadid) continuing under such propaganda.

Anthony H. Cordesman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies who has been upportive of Bush's strategy in Iraq commented that "A lot of the numbers throughout his speech spin reality almost out of control".
