Hmmm.

1) I don't know how you want to term it, but the situation in Iraq is pretty darn miserable. Basic services like water and electricity are intermittent at best, and there's always threat of gunfire. Or bombs. Unless you're living in the hermetically sealed Green Zone, which is basically like Disneyland. Don't take my word for it, read accounts of people who are actually there, outside of the Green Zone.

2) Bush's service in the Tx ANG was spotty at best, regardless of the veracity of the CBS documents. He basically left to Alabama, then never made up the remainder of his service (which he was supposed to do) when he went to Cambridge for his MBA. Yet he's variously claimed to have "served proudly" in the NG or even the Air Force.

3) About fantasy world, well, see #2 above for just one example. Or what about his frequent assertions that the world is safer place now (tell that to the Iraqis, or Indonesian bombing victims, http://slate.msn.com/id/2103989/). Then there is his disturbing need to be insulated from anybody who might just disagree with him

I leave you with an excerpt from "The Daily Show":

Corddry: How does one report the facts in an unbiased way when the facts themselves are biased?

Stewart: I’m sorry, Rob, did you say the facts are biased?

Corddry: That’s right Jon. From the names of our fallen soldiers to the gradual withdrawal of our allies to the growing insurgency, it’s become all too clear that facts in Iraq have an anti-Bush agenda.
