WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush on Thursday assured Iraqi President Jalal Talabani that he is ``fully committed'' to aiding the Iraqi government and dispatched a top aide to Baghdad to help leaders there make good on their promises.
Talabani, whose visit to the United States has included medical treatment
(for obesity - grytpype) at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., looked hearty as he sat in the Oval Office and defended his country's progress.

``I told the president that I'm fully committed to helping the Iraqi government achieve important objectives,'' Bush said.
``We call them benchmarks - political law necessary to show the Iraqi citizens that there is a unified government willing to work on the interest of all people,'' Bush said.

With patience in the United States eroding, Bush plans to send an emissary to help.
Meghan O'Sullivan, who recently announced she is resigning as deputy national security adviser, will work with U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker in helping Iraq's leaders in Baghdad.

If you don't know who O'Sullivan is: she's a former CPA staffer and deputy NSA who was famous for coming up with worthless Powerpoint presentations on how to solve all our problems in Iraq... there are some funny stories about her in Woodword's book "State of Denial." The professional generals all thought she was worthless.
Anyway, she's our new emissary to the Iraqi government and she's going to HELP them fix everything.
(We've never been so f*cked folks. And it's going to get worse.)
