The Bush administration issued a progress report on Iraq today, claiming that we have made "satisfactory" progress on nearly half of the benchmarks set by Congress.
Here's what Barack had to say in response:
Does this White House think that we don't know how to turn on our televisions? Don't tell us we're making progress in Iraq when the last three months have been some of the deadliest since this war began for our brave troops who have sacrificed so much. And don't tell us it's progress when the Iraqi leadership has done nothing – nothing – to take the political steps necessary to end their civil war. This war has only fueled the terrorist threat whose strength is now at pre-9/11 levels. It should never have been authorized, never have been waged, and it must end now.
Share your thoughts on Iraq below. Does Bush's version jive with what you've been seeing on television?
