Or something to that effect.
Coming up now.
"It didn't happen. It came and went."
"unnamed administration officials think their goals...cannot be met while in office."

1. "Weren't even close...50 major issues." |
|
Something tells me the US is either going to be VERY HEAVY-HANDED in the next week or Iraq's Parliament will dissolve.

2. Admin's three goals: Democracy, oil production, and safety |

Andrea Mitchell, president praised "Iraq's heroic efforts."
Lower Expectations?
"Other top officials are quietly lowering their expectations for Iraq"
Then shows a video clip of stammer-voiced Kindasleazy Lies spewing BS.
Wayne (Wright?) (Former State Dept. member) "Iraq could never become a model democracy"

5. I wonder whether Rumsfeld will try the time honored tactic... |
|
...of sacking generals for their failure in Iraq? If so, I'd think the heads would begin rolling soon.

8. Isn't that already happening? |
|
Except the failures are on the backs of the ideologues in the administration.
Generals are still taking the fall for it, though.

Calling Mr. Oswald with the swastika tattoo There is a vacancy waiting in the English voodoo Carving "V" for "vandal" on the guilty boy's head When he's had enough of that, maybe you'll take him to bed To teach him he's alive before he wishes he was dead
(CHORUS) Turn up the TV, no one listening will suspect Even your mother won't detect it, so your father won't know They think that I've got no respect but Everything is less than zero Hey, oo hey-ey Hey, oo hey-ey
Oswald and his sister are doing it again They've got the finest home movies that you have ever seen They've got a thousand variations, every service with a smile They're gonna take a little break and they'll be back after a while Well, I hear that South America is coming into style
(REPEAT CHORUS)
A pistol was still smoking, a man lay on the floor Mr. Oswald said he had an understanding with the law He said he heard about a couple living in the USA He said they traded in their baby for a Chevrolet Let's talk about the future, now we've put the past away
(REPEAT CHORUS) Hey, oo hey-ey Hey, oo hey-ey (REPEAT AND FADE)
(Props to Elvis Costello.)
