Reid: Bush in “state of denial.”

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) today: “[T]he President on Friday used the word ‘progress’ no fewer than ten times when he gave his Iraq update. He said that while there were still horrific attacks in Baghdad – and I quote – ‘The direction of the fight is beginning to shift.’ In describing his escalation of American troops – what he calls a surge – he said, ‘so far the operation is meeting expectations.’ The White House transcript says the President made those remarks in the State of Michigan. I believe he made them in the state of denial.” John Aravosis has the video.
