More from Bush’s press conference with some middle-eastern looking guy:

PRESIDENT BUSH: Okay, let me stop you. First of all, the Iraqi people now have got Iraqi leadership. Prime Minister Allawi and his cabinet are making decisions on behalf of the Iraqi people. Secondly, I saw a poll that said the right track/wrong track in Iraq was better than here in America. (Laughter.)

Doesn’t that just say it all? As bad as things are in Iraq, Bush is worse here.

I can see why they’re hiding from the press- the last time Bush talked to the press he proclaimed the war on terror couldn’t be won.
