Order has been restored on the Hindenberg

Michael Steele proves he's just as clueless about Iraq as the average Republican.

"Largely unwritten is the story of what's happening in three-quarters of the rest of that country," Steele said. "Remember Fallujah, ladies and gentlemen? I don't hear anyone talking about Fallujah anymore. It's not on the front page anymore of the papers. Why? Because order has been restored, and the terrorists have largely been routed."

Meanwhile, Fallujah may be clear of insurgents (never mind the far more serious problem of sectarian militias and death squads), but violence continues to engulf Iraq, and not just in Baghdad, either.
