Is it a lie or is it a delusion

George W. Bush today:

"We're making progress, we're making progress," Bush said. "It's tough, of course it's tough, because there are killers there who are trying to shake our will and shake the will of the Iraqis. It's tough on the Iraqi citizens,"

Reality today:

Death toll for week tops 250 as suicide car bomber kills 13

The US military stepped up efforts to check Iraq's destabilising insurgency yesterday by pounding the restive city of Falluja, killing dozens of people, with children reported to be among the injured.
Details of the raids emerged as Baghdad was once again hit by a suicide car bomber, who attacked a police checkpoint. At least eight people died.

The bloodshed came at the end of a desperate week in which more than 250 people were killed in fighting across the country, and three more westerners were kidnapped.

Violence was also reported in Basra yesterday where British troops clashed with fighters loyal to the rebel cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, raiding an office and seizing weapons and explosives after an ambush.

So this is progress. It's only progress in Bushworld and on FOX and CNN. So is it a lie or is it a delusion? Some of both I would guess and in dubya's case it may well be delusional.
