A visual guide to Bush's "progress" and the media that "spinned" it


"An Iraqi soldier cries after seeing the bodies of children killed in today's attacks."



"A woman cries after car bombs explode near a U.S. convoy in Baghdad on Thursday."



"U.S. soldiers tend to their injured colleagues as another victim lies on the ground after a bomb exploded in Baghdad, September 30, 2004. Insurgents detonated three car bombs near a U.S. military convoy in Baghdad, killing 41 people, 34 of them children, and wounding scores. (Nahreen via Reuters TV)"



"A mother comforts her wounded daughter at Abu Ghraib hospital in Baghdad, September 30, 2004. A suicide bomber killed one person and wounded 60 when he blew up his car in Abu Ghraib, west of Baghdad, doctors and officials said. (Thaier Al-Sudani/Reuters)"



"MISSION ACCOMPLISHED"

O'REILLY: The "mission accomplished" statement in May 2003, if you had to do it all over again, would you not have done it?

BUSH: Well, first of all, the statement said: Thank you for serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. Thank you for being on one of the largest, longest cruises in our nation's history. Thank you for serving our country. And we've still got tough work in Iraq.

Now, I'm going to go and thank our troops every chance I get.

O'REILLY: But the press spinned it, you know how they spinned it.

BUSH: Well, they spin everything.

1. Hard to look at
I am furious that he allows this to go on--he, incredibly says it is getting better and better. He started it--bring em on--dressing up in military costumes--a madman. He is a madman. Thirty four little children died today because of a madman--an evil SOB madman named George W. Bush.
