Everything but the bombings:

In Iraq news:

- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid wrote a letter to Bush yesterday stating that they feel the surge is a "failure." Pelosi and Reid are also starting to notice that the American people both exist and demand a speedy end to this failed occupation. Keep it up, folks!

- It's pretty obvious that the violence is still continuing in Iraq, as evidenced by the mosque bombings over the last two days. This violence is slowing in the areas that American troops are focusing on; however, as we and many other people with functioning brains realized, a decrease in the violence in Baghdad just means they'll have their civil war elsewhere in Iraq.

- We joke about this on the ELPN, but apparently Tony Snow was serious: "[W]hen you see things moving towards success, or when you see signs of success... there are acts of violence." Hmmm...
