The Asst Sceretary of Defense is almost killed in a rocket attack upon the most "secure" area in the city of Baghdad. An American Colonel is killed in the attack and 15 others are injured in the attack upon the al Rashid Hotel in Baghdad. This puts a lie to the Administrations claims that we have the place under control. The Administration officials say "remnants of the old regime" are responsible.
What the attack proves is that no place in Iraq is immune from attack. Contrary to what George W Bush says, there is "good news" getting out of Iraq. The "good news" is that the news media of this country is not telling the people of this country the truth about the seriousness of these attacks. They are glossing over the gravity of this attack upon Wolfowitz and the al Rashid Hotel. By not reporting the seriousness of this attack, George W Bush is getting his "good news".
