Unnamed sources, eh Doug?

The Army and the CIA are 'unnamed sources'?

... These are the words of the Prime Minister of
Iraq. Since he's there, he's in a lot better position to evaluate the
situation than you and a bunch of unnamed sources

He's also a politician, and likely to say a lot of things that aren't
quite strictly true... possibly he's been misinformed himself, possibly
trying to put a spin things, possibly trying to curry favor with the
Bush/Cheney Administration.

So, are you going to address the question here? What sources did Vice
President Cheney use to gather his info that the insurgency is on it's
last legs? Do you agree with his statement? What about President Bush's
statement... only last night... that the U.S. military *will* withdraw
from Iraq? Wanna revise your statement that we'll be there forever?

And how about President Bush linking Iraq with Sept 11th... again &
again? I was surprised to hear him mention Osama Bin Laden, since he
remains uncaptured and since it's now public knowledge that Bush pulled
troops off the hunt so as to invade Iraq. I was also surprised to hear
him say that the Army didn't want more troops. If that's true, then why
did Rumsfeld fire all those generals for saying we would need more
troops? Why is the Army upset about missing recruiting goals if they
don't need more?

These little inconsistencies tend to make one believe that either Bush &
Cheney are seriously deluded, or else they are politically constrained
from admitting the truth. Maybe you can explain?
