Isn’t that what they say about the war in Iraq? I guess the bloody part is right:

A car bomb killed 33 people in northern Iraq on Sunday, security officials said, hours before U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates arrived in Baghdad to assess recent security gains and discuss troop levels.

A U.S. military spokesman said the blast occurred near an Iraqi army checkpoint in the town of Balad. Iraqi Colonel Hamadi Atshan said the bomb hit a checkpoint run by Sunni Arab volunteers who have joined U.S. forces to fight al Qaeda.

The war goes on, just as the spin does. And now that McCain has Kristol advising him, you can bet they will be ready to launch attacks on half the world and give us more Iraqs. Isn’t the GOP great?
