It's getting better all the time...

Oh. Wait. No, it isn't - not in Iraq at least, where today's rocket attacks on American forces in Baghdad have driven the Coalition casualty count up to 115 dead, making this April the bloodiest month for the occupation (and almost an entire year after Dubya's infamous "Mission Accomplished" May Day address), and with another week to go at that. What a mess. And yet the Bush Administration, the Coalition Provisional Authority, and the conservative pundits continue to bleat like the Beatles, resorting to such contorted logic as "the worse it looks, the better it actually is," which means that by now Iraq should be resembling Disneyland.
