They got to Katie!

One week before Gen. David Petraeus is expected to give his report on U.S. progress in Iraq, CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric says she has already seen dramatic improvements in the country.

"We hear so much about things going bad, but real progress has been made there in terms of security and stability," Couric said Tuesday. "I mean, obviously, infrastructure problems abound, but Sunnis and U.S. forces are working together. They banded together because they had a common enemy: al Qaeda."

Oh Katie. Katie. What have they filled the vacuum between your ears with now?

This is how they work Katie. They get you into Iraq and they start serving you their evil mind altering Kool-aid while showing you smiling Iraqis whose very lives depend on the Americans staying in Iraq and keeping their countrymen from cutting their heads off.

"How are things for you Hakim? Do you want the Americans to stay?"

"Oh yes pretty simple minded news anchor lady, we would be lost without the Americans here keeping us safe and giving my family the I-Pod and PlayStation2 system, which we are going to play as soon as the electricity gets turned back on Allah willing."

You don't see Anderson Cooper or Brian Williams reading from the Pentagon press releases do you? Why couldn't she have run into Michael Ware while she was there? He would have straightened her ass out.
