Haditha Snow Job

In an interesting attempt at damage control, Tony Snow, Bush's new Mouthpiece in Chief, said Iraq's prime minister didn't really say what he said concerning reports of U. S. soldiers committing war crimes against his people. He was then unable to explain what the prime minister said or how he was misquoted.

So here's what the Prime Minister said after calling the U. S. actions in Haditha a horrible crime: "This is a phenomenon that has become common among many of the multinational forces. No respect for citizens, smashing civilian cars and killing on a suspicion or a hunch. It's unacceptable."

Seems pretty clear to me, Tony. Maybe we'll have to change your title soon, from "Mouthpiece" to "Apologist".
