Steve Soto give a good, concise summary of the status of Bush's accomplished mission:

With less than a week before the transfer of some authority to the Iraqi transitional government, Al Qaeda claimed credit today for a string of car bombings throughout Iraq that have claimed nearly a hundred lives, with hundreds more injured. Keeping in mind that Al Qaeda wasn’t even a presence inside Iraq before our war to liberate Iraq as the second stop on George W. Bush’s war on terrorism, the likely upswing in Al Qaeda-manufactured violence between now and June 30, and well after that date firmly demonstrates not only to the world, but more importantly to Iraqis themselves that their security is worse now as a result of Bush than it was under the thug Hussein. Fallujah is out of control, as the experiment to allow local militias to run the town has backfired because the local police forces we trained are turning against us and failing to fight the militias. And all of this is happening as the Iraqis take over the ministries today and assume control of government workers. It is a recipe for certain martial law in the days ahead, implemented by our forces on behalf of a government led by a former CIA operative.

Yay team. Keep up the good goon work. Someday we should eventually reach the point where things can only get better. Unfortunately for the average Iraqi civilian, that day is one helluva long way off, courtesy Bush's military/petroleum/industrial machine.
