Nethercutt hails Iraq's recovery: 'It is a better ... story than losing a couple of soldiers every day'

Ah, 'tis better to be thought a fool than to be George Nethercutt....

Rep. George Nethercutt said yesterday that Iraq's reconstruction is going better than is portrayed by the news media, citing his recent four-day trip to the country.

"The story of what we've done in the postwar period is remarkable," Nethercutt, R-Wash., told an audience of 65 at a noon meeting at the University of Washington's Daniel J. Evans School of Public Affairs.

"It is a better and more important story than losing a couple of soldiers every day."

Jesus, what a frickin' idiot. I guess this just goes to show that George W. Bush isn't the only Republican who was born with a silver foot in his mouth, eh?
