Yesterday Bush gave the second of four speeches designed to give Americans an idea on what the plan for winning in Iraq is. So far, there has been little specific about how victory will be achieved.
However, Bush did give numerous vignettes that he said demonstrated progress in the war. Unfortunately, they were in cities and areas in Iraq that are too dangerous for American reporters to visit and verify. Dan Froomking of the Washington Post did pull together some facts which he wove into an informative column.
It appears to me that as usual the Bush speechwriters are cherry-picking all the positive items that appear to support their view while giving no context and ignoring anything that does not support their view. This isn't just bias. This is pure unadulterated propaganda. Josef Goebbels would have been proud.
