Comical Che-Ney

No, I'm not the first to make this observation, but, you guys remember "Comical Ali" sometimes known as "Baghdad Bomb" who gave us such great zingers like, "The British are not worth an old shoe," and promises that the Americans were being driven into the Persian gulf while Saddam's army fell around him?

Well, I guess it's not as funny when our own Vice President is, under the same delusion, claiming victory while the Iraqi insurgents continue to attack not only our troops, but the local forces we're building up, adding to the chaos in the region and turning Iraq into a fiasco.

Has Cheney been to Iraq? Is there something in the water that makes it impossible to be honest about the situation on the ground there?
