Joe Lieberman showed up in Iraq today, and did a John McCain - toured a market, visited troops, then got the hell out. It will be interesting to see the photos of Lieberman’s “market walk” - and if they show the same things that McCain’s did. The brief screenshot I saw on CNN showed in him body armor and accompanied by U.S. forces.

CNN story here. Note that the CNN online story doesn’t quite match his gushing praise in the CNN video segment.
I know things always look peachy from Planet Lieberman, but how can anyone call this “progress”?? (You’ve really got to read the entire disheartening report.)
Anyway, here’s a screenshot of Holy Joe in Baghdad today…quite decked out…Wonkette has more (well worth the read).
to answer you question: if the goal is perpetual war and occupation in the mideast, we’ve made stupendous progress.
Holy Joe has confused significant progress with significant “Increases in US KIA’s” Like others that have avoided mitilary service (Cheney, Delay, Wolfy and other), it is an easy mistake to make.
