"There is progress," Cheney said. "It‘s just — you‘re not going to see the kind of thing ... a victory like Midway in World War II where we sank all the enemy carriers, or a surrender ceremony at the end of the war. It‘s the kind of thing where you have to keep grinding it out day after day after day. It‘s tough."

This progress?

1. Well, at least Cheney's citing WWII, unlike Rummy and his Antietam obsession

2. No matter how many times a lie is debunked,

they just keep dredging them up over and over again.

3. He's right you know

Follow the money and Dick sees progress in his portfolio.

In the same month that we lost a record number of American soldiers and Iraqi citizens lost many more, Vice President Dick Cheney told Rush Limbaugh that "if you look at the overall situation they're doing remarkably well."

Now we know that the Darth was speaking about Halliburton.

This week the Halliburton's third-quarter net income rose 22 percent with third-quarter revenue rising 19 percent to $5.8 billion. But even more indecent was that the VP's talking point was dittoed by Halliburton officials.

"Iraq was better than expected," said Jeff Tillery, analyst (who does research for Halliburton) at Pickering Energy Partners Inc. "Overall, there is nothing really to question or be skeptical about. I think the results are very good."

"Overall, there is nothing to question or be skeptical about." Dost that not soar far off the puke-ability chart?

4. I think the "progress" Cheney is talking about ...

... is the progress of US tax dollars being handed over to Halliburton, which then makes their way into his bank account.

In that regard, the "progress" has been non-stop.
