“US general in Baghdad called Iraq a work
of art in progress on Thursday in one of the most extraordinary attempts
by the US military leadership to put a positive spin on the worsening
violence.
On a day in which 49 people were killed or found dead around the country,
Major General William Caldwell, the chief military spokesman, argued that
Iraq was in transition, a process that was „not always a pleasant
thing to watch.´Every great work of art goes through messy phases
while it is in transition. A lump of clay can become a sculpture. Blobs
of paint become paintings which inspire.´ Caldwell told journalists
in Baghdad‘s fortified green zone.“
