Continuing to turn a blind eye to reality in Iraq

sunday, i posted on the communique from the u.s. embassy in baghdad which, according to media matters, has received virtually no media attention...
[D]espite the clear significance of the document -- and the contrast it presented with Bush's upbeat comments -- the media have almost entirely ignored its publication.

today, the nyt responds with an editorial...
Mr. Bush's six-hour visit to Baghdad was mostly spent inside the Green Zone, where he made much of what he had been able to learn from looking Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki "in the eyes." Now that he's home, Mr. Bush needs to take a hard, unfiltered look at the more disturbing picture relayed by America's embassy.

i always have to laugh when i read advice being given to bush... it's such a complete waste of newsprint and/or bandwidth... perhaps if it was advice on how to accumulate more power or to further undermine the u.s. constitution, it would stand a chance of being heeded... otherwise, no...
