GW, there's bad news...and bad news.

The Carnegie Foundation for International Peace concludes the Bush Administration "systematically misrepresented" the evidence of the presence of WMD in Iraq. The US-dominated International Monetary Fund reports that the "US budget deficits threaten world economy." Thirty-four soldiers are wounded and one killed in a mortar attack, while nine more are killed in the crash of a Blackhawk helicopter. US soldiers scoff at the offered $10,000 re-enlistment bonus, while the Army issues "stop loss" orders to prevent existing troops from ending their enlistment periods.

To Bush, how distant must seem the refrain of Reagan's re-election slogan, "It's morning in America."
