State Dept. Thanks Heavens for Dictators

It's not as if these Wackos of Mass Distractions at every level of the failing bush government could get any more stupid and incompetent:

Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf’s decision to suspend the constitution, seize emergency power, and round up leading opposition figures is bringing quiet joy to the State Department. “Thank heavens for small favors,” an aide to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said, referring to Musharraf’s actions. Compared to Pakistan, “Iraq looks pretty good.”

I am sure that these guys are not thanking heavens for this distraction from the republican warmongers' failures in Iraq:

Year	US Deaths	US Wounded
2003	486	2,411
2004	849	8,003
2005	846	5,948
2006	822	6,398
2007	846	5,411
Total	3849	28171

You can bet these guys aren't praying for distractions from the GOP's failures:
