Pentagon disputes parts of Iraq report

WASHINGTON - Stung by the bleak findings of a congressional audit of progress in Iraq, the Pentagon has asked that some of the negative assessments be revised, a military spokesman said Thursday.

Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell said that after reviewing a draft of the Government Accountability Office report — which has not yet been made public — policy officials "made some factual corrections" and "offered some suggestions on a few of the actual grades" assigned by the GAO.

The Associated Press has learned that the GAO report will conclude that at least 13 of the 18 benchmarks set to judge the Iraqi government's performance in the political and security arenas haven't been met.

So, because the report truthfully says that things are not going as well as bush has tried to tell us they have, then the Pentagon wants to change it!

Do they think that we'll accept that? It's obvious every day that it is a disaster over there and nothing that bush and his croneys are doing is making it any better - only worse.

Do they really believe that if they lie on a report then it will magically make things better?

They really do think that we're idiots....
