The President Says, "Happy 5th Anniversary!"

Today marks the fifth anniversary of the Iraq war: Take 2. Today the president extolled the triumphs of this engagement to an audience at the Pentagon. President Bush was quoted as saying, "The successes we are seeing in Iraq are undeniable, yet some in Washington still call for retreat," and refused to acknowledge that any setbacks had occurred since the order to start Operation: Iraqi Freedom began. Setbacks, for example, such as the 4000 soldiers who were killed in the line of fire, or the sectarian violence that has occurred in Iraq since 2002, or the state of our current national budget.

Bush also stated that, "War critics can no longer credibly argue that we're losing."

The man's consistent, I'll give him that.
