Bush Administration incredibly incompetent, arrogant

Campaign won't acknowledge anything but "progress" in Iraq

Bush Speech Excerpt: "The terrorist insurgents hate our 'progress', and they fight our 'progress'. But they will not stop our 'progress'."

Senator John Kerry today assailed President Bush's incredibly awful policies on the war in Iraq. CNN reports:
Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry railed against "the unbelievable blindness, stubbornness, [and] arrogance" of the Bush administration Monday following reports that 380 tons of explosives are missing in Iraq.

"This administration has put our troops at risk and put this country at greater risk than we ought to be. ... this president [has once again failed] the test of being the commander in chief."

"If President Bush can't recognize his failures in Iraq -- which he doesn't admit, won't acknowledge -- you can't fix them. And then he's doomed to repeat the same mistakes elsewhere, whether it's North Korea or Iran or in any other of the risks that we face ahead of us. My fellow Americans, we can't afford to risk four more years of George Bush's miscalculations."
George W. Bush and his campaign absolutely refuse to acknowledge reality. They live in their own parallel world, where progress in Iraq happens every day. President Bush does not even acknowledge the staggering financial cost of the war or the more than 1,000 American combat deaths there. He has not even attended a single funeral for any of the fallen troops. This arrogance is unbelievable, and it cannot be ignored. George W. Bush MUST be voted out of office on November 2nd. This nation cannot endure four more years of this insane madness.
