Update: Our President Chimes In on Iraqi Readiness!

Bush 'encouraged' despite report on Iraqi troops by Adam Entous, Reuters, Saturday, October 1, 2005; 10:18 AM


And I quote:

"I'm encouraged by the increasing size and capability of the Iraqi security forces. Today they have more than 100 battalions operating throughout the country, and our commanders report that the Iraqi forces are serving with increasing effectiveness," Bush said in his weekly radio address.

Of those 100 battalions, three of them were ready to fight insurgents. Now one of them is. Does this sound like progress to you?

And we wonder why every business venture ol' Chimpy ever started went Arbusto.
