"Bush, spending a day at the resort with Idaho Gov. Dirk Kempthorne, a Republican, said he was getting updates on the Iraqi constitutional process from Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
He said Rice had assured him that the rights of women were being protected. ''Democracy is unfolding,'' the president said."
Really?
Huh. He really has no idea what he's talking about, does he?

I'm just.. arrrgh! This quote from Maureen Dowd's column also had me close to tears of anger:
"America has caved on Iraqi women's rights. In fact, the women's rights activists supported by George and Laura Bush may have to leave Iraq.
But, as a former C.I.A. Middle East specialist, Reuel Marc Gerecht, said on "Meet the Press," U.S. democracy in 1900 didn't let women vote. If Iraqi democracy resembled that, "we'd all be thrilled," he said. "I mean, women's social rights are not critical to the evolution of democracy.""
women's rights aren't critical to the evolution of democracy...
you've got to be fucking kidding me!
what? 'cause women aren't people??
how is it possible to call a society 'democratic' if women aren't allowed to participate in it? tell me that! aargh!!
