More from the State of Denial

From AFP:

US President George W. Bush insisted "we're winning and we will win" in Iraq, as he defended his handling of the war two weeks before key mid-term elections in the United States.

"We're winning and we will win, unless we leave before the job is done," Bush said in a White House press conference.

We are not winning (the death toll for US troops topped 2,800 today, with 91 this month). That is the problem. That is why members of the Administration are beginning to talk about a 'timetable'- which, only a few months ago, was something only those who wanted the terrorists could do, according to the same Administration.
