Bad Day in Black Rock

Let's see: an Italian truck driver was murdered on video so brutally that al-Jazeera balked at showing it, we've got a lot of contractors and GIs missing (probably many humanitarian aid workers, too), Bush doesn't know who's gonna run Iraq after his campaign clears out on June 30th, Osama is offering to bargain with the Europeans, Russia's pulling out its people, and the White House tells us Iraq is wonderful.

I know someone will tell me it's my liberal negative mindspin, but y'know, this just doesn't sound good.
