Allawi joins the liars brigade

From today's edition of The Daily Mis-Lead:

Iraqi Prime Minister parrots dishonest Bush talking points

Today, speaking before a joint session of Congress, Iraqi interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi parroted the Bush administration's talking points: "We are succeeding in Iraq."[1] The facts on the ground, however, suggest otherwise.

Over the last year the number of insurgents in Iraq has quadrupled. [2] Attacks on U.S. troops are up 100% since last winter.[3] Major Iraqi cities such as Fullujah have become havens for insurgents and are completely inaccessible to U.S. troops. [4] Security situations have stalled reconstruction -- Iraq still has less electricity than they did before the war. [5] Even some Bush administration officials have acknowledged that elections planned for January may have to be delayed.[6]

Remember, Allawi hadn't lived in Iraq for three decades before he was appointed Dubya's chief puppet. He has zero credibility and no loyalty from the Iraqi people.
