A new tactic in Iraq

Well, we've tried just about everything in Iraq. This new plan is either Bush's plan to convey Ironic Detachment over what's going on over there, or he really does think that what the world needs now is more death squads:

BUSH NAMES NEGRAPONTE IRAQ AMBASSADOR

"'John Negroponte is a man of enormous experience and skill' and 'has done a really good job of speaking for the United States to the world about our intentions to spread freedom and peace,' said Bush."

It just gets better and better.

[Update: Honduras is pulling out of Iraq. Coincidence?]
