I still find the level of denial among the Bush loyalists to be remarkable. The number of attacks on US troops has stayed roughly constant and has risen slightly after the much ballyhooed election. All Iraqi polls show a high acceptance of those who attack coalition forces. Reconstruction is a corruption riddled distaster and Iraqi elected officials have been caught funneling oil money to the insurgency. All this and yet the Bushites still talk about "progress" in Iraq. There is nothing more dangerous than believing your own lies.
