And speaking of pollyanna!

"And speaking of…" seems to be a theme for the week. But when the President's doing his impersonation of the Iraqi Defense Minister (you remember, the guy denying the whole invasion of Iraq, while American tanks were rolling into Baghdad), how can I resist?

From his weekly radio address, after the Pentagon released their latest comprehensive assessment of security in Iraq, comes this gem:
"Our commanders and diplomats on the ground believe that Iraq has not descended into a civil war. They report that only a small number of Iraqis are engaged in sectarian violence, while the overwhelming majority want peace and a normal life in a unified country."
I have no doubt the overwhelming majority of Iraqis want peace and a normal life. Don't the majority of people everywhere want peace and a normal life? It's governments and the people that want to overthrow them that are planning and prepping and executing the violence.

Jesus, what meaningless pap.

What's the difference between 'sectarian violence' and 'civil war'? I mean, really...come on.
