Rumsfeld gives Iraq occupation a thumbs up

Despite guerilla war, mass protests, terrorist attacks, a crumbling infrastructure, lack of oil exports, lack of power, lack of jobs, lack of security, and lack of self-determination and governance, Rumsfeld praised the "rebuilding" effort.

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld lauded the "wonderful start" to rebuilding Iraq on Saturday even as guerrillas attacked his troops and hundreds of protesters marched to demand jobs.

Meeting U.S. and Polish soldiers in the ancient ruins of Babylon, Rumsfeld acknowledged reviving post-war Iraq was a tough task given the poor state of services and daily attacks.

A "wonderful start"? Like I always say, these guys just make shit up.
