DailyDean: "Optimism? What's that?"

Howard Dean's head shill Kos calls it as he sees it [through dung-stained glasses, of course]:

More Iraqis are dying now than died during Saddam's regime. The torture rooms are still open for business. Iraq is now a prime terrorist recruitment and training ground. "Democracy" is nowhere to be found. Civil war is imminent. Our armed forces are being degraded into paper tiger status. The war has cost us international support and respect. We no longer have the ability to respond to genuine threats.

I'm not sure where he's getting all this from. Probably from the usual place: the same oriface where his head is located.
