(By the way, FOX News shows Bush polls up... other polls show them
still going down, go figure... hey buddy, how much you paying for gas
<-- near three times what you were before Bush lied the world into war
so his cronies could get even more filthy rich)
So after three-plus years of carnage in Iraq, George W. Bush finally
had a "good week."
Whoop-de-do.
It's unfortunate that the death of the 2,500th U.S. soldier in Iraq
came during George's Good Week, but hey, what can you do?
Here's Tony Snow at a White House briefing last week, responding to the
question, "American deaths in Iraq have reached 2,500. Is there any
response or reaction from the President on that?"

It's a number.
And every time there's one of these 500 benchmarks, people want
something.
Just a number?
"One of these 500 benchmarks?"
The president would like the war to be over now.
Everybody would like the war to be over now.
Yeah, I mean, it's not like the president can do anything to stop the
war.
And the one thing that we saw in Iraq this week is further testimony to
the quality of the men and the women who are doing that, and the
dedication and determination to try to ensure that the people of Iraq
really do live in a free, effective democracy of their own creation and
design.
....which is why we're now lining up Zarqawi #2 - meet Abu Ayyub
al-Masri!
Any president who goes through a time of war feels very deeply the
responsibility for sending men and women into harm's way and feels very
deeply the pain that the families feel. And this president is no
different.
Except when he pumped his fist and said "feels good" just before
announcing the invasion.

You've seen it many times.
You saw it.
You saw it when he was in that ballroom.
You had this crowd of service men and women who were cheering loudly
for the president, and he got choked up.
I think that was the Jim Beam.
So it's always a sad benchmark.
Oh... I thought it was "just a number."
Anyway, shut up about the dead soldiers already.
Bush is on a roll!
He's surging!
