Lies

Rumsfeld is doing a “press briefing,” live, talking about how great the Iraqis are doing defending themselves. The groundwork is very definitely being laid here; as noted below, Bush will announce the Iraqis “ready to stand up” tomorrow in a “major speech.” It’s all bullshit. If you have any doubt, read the Michael Ware article just below and watch the interview. The press is not buying his bs either, so there will be video here later of the event.
