Quote du Jour: Iraqi foreign minister Hoshyar Zebari

"The situation is not as gloomy or as bad as things are."

-- speaking about the war in Iraq on CNN's "Late Edition" last Sunday, October 8.

OK, Mr. Zebari seems like a decent guy who's trying his best, and I know there's a language barrier, so it's not quite fair to parse words, but I still can't help wondering which "things" in Iraq are so much worse than "the situation."

The devil is in the details? Often the case, it seems. Durn details.
