Signs of Progress - but for whom?

[Ivo Skoric]

President Bush was defiant today. He said: "Every sign of progress in 
Iraq adds to the desperation of the terrorists and the remnants of 
Saddam's brutal regime. The civilized world will not be intimidated, 
and these killers will not determine the future of Iraq."

Of what signs of progress is that guy talking? The enemy is killing 
his men with impunity. The first day he opened the pipeline, it was 
blown up. The first day he opened water supply, it was blown up. The 
first day the UN came there, it was blown up.

NY Times writes that terrorists want "to depict the United States as 
unable to guarantee public order" - I think the terrorists are way 
beyond 'depicting'...
