Bush: Attacks Reflect U.S. Gains

From the Washington Post:

The president, speaking after attacks on police stations and a Red Cross facility in Iraq killed at least 35 people, said such attacks should be seen as a sign of progress because they show the desperation of those who oppose the U.S.-led occupation.

"The more successful we are on the ground, the more these killers will react," Bush said as he sat in the Oval Office with L. Paul Bremer, the U.S. administrator in Iraq. He added: "The more progress we make on the ground, the more free the Iraqis become, the more electricity is available, the more jobs are available, the more kids that are going to school, the more desperate these killers become, because they can't stand the thought of a free society."

I guess the next thing he'll be telling us is the more people out of work, the better the economy is.

I got another couple of emails from my Nigerian friends. More about that tonight. Now, it's off to work.
