AP Whoring at it's Finest! 'Mission' Gets Closer to 'Accomplished'!
Yes indeed....

WASHINGTON - Three years after delivering his "mission accomplished" speech on Iraq, President Bush on Monday declared another turning point had arrived with the establishment of a permanent government in Baghdad.

"We believe we've got partners to help the Iraqi people realize their dreams," Bush said of the recent emergence of new Iraqi leadership. "They need to know that we stand with them."

<snip>


In Bush's appearance outside the Oval Office with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, the president walked a fine line between celebrating achievements and warning of more sacrifices to come.

With U.S. officials hoping the government's existence will drain the insurgency and pave the way for an eventual drawdown of U.S. troop levels, Bush sent Rice and Rumsfeld to Baghdad last week to help boost the Iraqi leaders. The president said his top foreign policy officials reported back that the Iraqis understand the job ahead and are capable of fulfilling it — through what he warned will be more tough days because terrorists have caused "such turmoil and havoc."

"We believe this is a turning point for the Iraqi citizens and it's a new chapter in our partnership," Bush said. "This government is more determined than ever to succeed. "

1. How many "turning points" have they had now?
5? 10? 15?

I've lost count.

7. Figures!Did you note that the President of AP sat between Dubya & his wife
at the White House Correspondant's Dinner last weekend? I think his name is Tom Curley. There he sat, like their blissful baby boy. Sweet.

Here's a photo of Curley and Bush, which won't cooperate with copy and pasting:
