Finally!!! Someone besides me has publicly stated that the mad men in our National Command Authority must be smoking something!

As Joe Gallo points out, there is NO good news coming from the streets of Baghdad, and even that redoubtable scion of military propoganda, MajGen Caldwell, admitted it. I can not stand the cognitive disconnect between the ground truth, and what these mad men are telling the American public!!! Does any body remember "Baghdad Bob" - and how comical his public announcements were? We should have a Baghdad Bob meter, showing statements from members of this administration, and some sort of measure of how close to reality the statement is. Maybe add it to the Mad Mike segment. Or maybe like a thermometer or something, because, I swear, this is going to make me blow a gasket. I actually feel physical pain when I read this stuff. I can actually feel the acid burning in my stomach and esophagus, the blood pulsing in my temples, and the throbbing of my optic nerve warning me that I am getting a Bush-administration BS-induced migraine.
