sweet, sweet progress

On today's fourth anniversary of the fall of Baghdad, Iraqi people marched in the streets and protested the American occupation of their country.

In response, White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe said this demonstrates that Iraq "is now a place where people can freely gather and express their opinions, and that was something they could not do under Saddam."




Really?


I'm not a smart White House spokesman, but I'm pretty sure that Saddam would have been cool with massive anti-American protests in the streets of Baghdad.
