„A 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.“
