The Load Of The Day

There were lots of loads in the news yesterday, some of which I will find worthwhile to mention and exploit! First let me make one claim. I am by no means a supporter of partisan politcs, and in fact I take special precaution to so avoid becoming a blinded-by-party citizen of my country. That said, enjoy the loads of the day and take comfort in knowing they are exploited with the utmost employment of objectivity.

-------------------------

The first one is from an excerpt of Mr. Bush's opinion of the progress in Iraq:

"I'm pleased with the progress." "I'm pleased that in less than a year's time there's a democratically elected government in Iraq, there are thousands of Iraqi soldiers trained and better equipped to fight for their own country, that our strategy is clear and we will work to get them ready to fight, and when they're ready, we'll come home."

Are you kidding me?

Second Load (happens to be from Mr. President as well):

"I believe we have an obligation to remind the Chinese that any hopeful society is one in which there's more than just economic freedom."

I need not detail the irony of this statement given our current state of international affairs.
