The Democrats have been lying about Iraq and progress made there since the week after the initial invasion. They have gone out of their way to exagerate problems and negatives, leave out facts, refuse to acknowledge any positive information and even make things up when necessary. It has been part of their "Prime Directive" of "Destroy Bush at any cost" since day one. The MSM, icluding the Post, have been eager and willing collaborators and partners in this endeavor. For them to act surprised at this point is rather disingenuous of them. In order to hang onto support from the nutroots, the candidates have to continue the charade because the nutroots themselves don't acknowledge that there has been any progress. If a candidate doesn't go along with this, the nutroots will ignore that candidate along with the facts and the candidate then loses all support from the far left base. “They point out that the candidates appear to be unable to acknowledge the improvements and are, in fact, lying when they talk about Iraq these days.”

I have to think so. So…does it mean anything that Hillary is “Ms.” and Obama is “Mr.” and
