Bush: U.S., Iraqi forces making progress By TERENCE HUNT, AP White House Correspondent

WASHINGTON - President Bush said Tuesday that U.S. and Iraqi forces are making important progress in a security crackdown in Baghdad but warned that America's enemies will retaliate with deadly attacks.

Three weeks into an intensified security effort, Bush said, "It's too early to judge the success of this operation ... But even at this early hour there are some encouraging signs."

Iraq's government has kept its pledge to deploy three additional Iraqi army brigades to Baghdad and has lifted restrictions that prevented coalition and Iraqi forces from going into certain areas, the president said.

Bush offered his assessment in a speech before the American Legion. "We can expect al-Qaida and other extremists to try to derail this strategy by launching spectacular attacks," he said.

4. Is he lying, or completely clueless - you be the judge.

My guess - he doesn't have a fucking clue on this or any subject.

5. Are they turning another corner?

Just wanting to know how dizzy they're getting, going around in all those circles.

7. Six months ago, we were "absolutely winning"...

...and after the election, it became "neither winning nor losing." Now we're down to "making progress" again.

Next step would seem to be some sort of euphemism for surrender.

8. Obviously, only 9 troops killed today.
