And as my attorney cousin always says: never let the truth stand in the way of a good story.
Jean points me to this one...
Rep. George Nethercutt said yesterday that Iraq's reconstruction is going better than is portrayed by the news media, citing his recent four-day trip to the country.
"The story of what we've done in the postwar period is remarkable," Nethercutt, R-Wash., told an audience of 65 at a noon meeting at the University of Washington's Daniel J. Evans School of Public Affairs.
"It is a better and more important story than losing a couple of soldiers every day."
Truly, we need to pack up these cretins and let them switch places with a few soldiers who'd really like to come home.
Hey, I just looked up the word cretin in the dictionary to find its origin.
The cretin du jour continued:
...the faster infrastructure rebuilding is completed, the faster the country can take care of itself and the United States can leave.
"So in five years or less, we're out of there," said Nethercutt, who plans to challenge Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., for her seat. "I'm as fiscally conservative as anyone can be ... but I think it is a smart investment for this country to make."
He said he has no doubt that weapons of mass destruction are in Iraq, have been in Iraq or that there was a program there to produce them.
Or something. Whatever the official story is today. It's a good story. A better story than a couple of soldiers dying every day.
Somebody pinch me.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
