Steve Soto takes on Bush's "it's going great!" remarks from earlier today, as well as Condi's strained civil-rights-movement analogy from yesterday:

Condi Rice managed to make an issue out of nothing when she equated alleged concerns about the ability of Iraqis to govern themselves to the civil rights movement. Condi, let me clue you in on something: no one is saying that the Iraqis cannot govern themselves except the oppressive corporate jackboots you and Cheney have installed in their country. By saying this, you misdirect away from the real issue, which is why we are there, how we got there, and how long you and the corporatists will stay there depriving the Iraqis of their self-government and their rebuilt infrastructure. The only people who are saying that the Iraqis cannot govern themselves are the neocons, so equating them with the Jim Crow element of the South, which is the basis of your party Ms. Rice wasn’t particularly deft, was it? What a moron.

Indeed.
