Truthiness?

Congressman Dave Loebsack (ouch) has returned from Iraq none the smarter than when he left and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Per the Iowa City Press-Citizen, Loebsack (ouch) ...

"didn't hear anything" to change his mind.

Radio Iowa asked (audio link)...

"It appears you just confirmed preconceived notions, rather than learning anything new".

Loebsack (ouch)..."I wouldn't call them preconceived notions..."

These type of trips are usually referred to as "fact finding".

Saturday, I wondered...What's the point?

Loebsack (ouch) had this to say before he left...

"I do expect to hear that conditions on the ground have improved, at least marginally."

Upon his return he told the Ragister...

“Certainly, in Anbar province, there’s no doubt some progress has been made.”

He told Radio Iowa (audio link)...

"There's some limited success militarily on the part of the surge".

Its a weird world when Reuters can report on the success, but Fiberal Dummycrats just can't admit it.
