Why Does The GAO Hate America?

I didn't post this for a couple of days because, well, I didn't.

But the General Accounting Office says that Iraq is FUBAR. They've gotta love that FREEDOM (tm), right?

Near the end of the article, the reporter talks to some dipshit from the American Enterprise Institute, who tosses out this party-line nonsense:

"It's far better to live in the dark than it is to run the risk that your mother, father, brother, sister, husband or wife would be taken away never to be seen again," Pletka said.

Pletka pointed to a Pentagon slide presentation that detailed increases and improvement in telephone subscribers, water service, food, health care and schools in Iraq.

The schools! The schools! Cell phones! Oh, and it's not the dark that bothers people. It's the 135-degree heat. And the occupying foreign army. And the fact that your mother, father, brother, sister, husband, or wife can still get taken away, never to be seen again (has this woman even read about what's going on over there?). Anyone quoting a Pentagon slide presentation--especially from Rumsfeld's Pentagon--either knows that she is lying or is a complete fool--either way, that person should not be quoted as an authoritative source.
