Snapshot: Regime Verging on Psychotic Break

So, let me get this straight. The interim report on this criminal Republican regime's troop escalation policy shows that none of the benchmarks are met, but the Smirking Puppet nonetheless marks 8 of the 18 benchmarks as making 'satisfactory progress', with 2 more "too close to call". One would hope that the Iraqi Parliament- which isn't expected to hold session this week, and plans on taking all of August off- has some secret plan to cram all-nighters to make the grade by September.
Despite a CIA report from last November that the Iraq government was irreversibly damaged, this benighted boob playing President contends that progress is being made. In fact, he actually insinuated that CIA Michael Hayden was on board with his 'stay the course, keep the surge going' gameplan.
Enough progress, he insists, for Congress to release funds which were contingent upon Iraq successfully meeting these benchmarks. I am guessing that Iraq may need that money, because $282 MILLION (in American dollars, btw) was stoled from the Dar Es Salaam bank in Baghdad just yesterday. (A quarter of a billion dollars? Criminy, that's Neil Bush-type theft!)........
