66. Kinda weird that Rove has gotten to Allawi
We all know how EVERYONE in the Republican party makes the same points each day, using identical words, and it is clear that some central source coaches them.

It is so weird to see Allawi do Rove-speak. It is such a charade for the benefit of the American people. I guess it is supposed to show the Sheeple that there is Only One Correct Way to think of Iraq, and that the happy liberated Allawi proves it.I guess we're supposed to think that Allawi, mouthing the words Karl Rove gave him to speak, is the Authentic Voice of Liberated Iraq, whereas the bad stuff about our fine young men and women, AND theirs, getting killed and mained every day is just the "filter".

Prediction: we're going to be seeing a lot of Allawi and Laura, telling us what a undiluted joy Iraq has become, but that still requires our treasure and blood to sustain this happy picture for this generation.
