Another doozy of a quote from GW: "If one were to look hard one could find indications the [Iraqi] government is learning how to function.”

Wow. So a government flipping the bird to VP Cheney when he urged them not to go on vacation, and they did anyway, and then to see the Sunni bloc withdraw -- folks, this is a government dissolving before our eyes. Bush is simply beyond delusional, to the point where it's truly frightening.

Oh, and given Bush's track record with making predictions, given his recent attempts at assuring nervous investors that markets will stabilize, if any of us had half a brain we'd be selling everything and stuffing it under the mattress.
