Mishegas Accomplice, Part II: Electric Boogaloo

More indescribably good news from the Pollyannas of the Potomac:

Early today, the White House responded to the deaths by declaring that US resolve was "unshakable". Its spokesman Scott McClellan said: "We will prevail. The president was told that our troops are performing well. The president is proud of our troops."

Well, that's just peachy. Because the most important thing here is what Bush feels and thinks, despite any messy reality "on the ground."

And he can continue to be "proud" of whatever he wants (whether he had anything to do with it or not), but it's a crying shame he's never once given "our troops" any reason whatsoever to return the favor.
