On his third super duper secret trip, George W. Bush has traveled to Iraq again.

Of course, we know that he only went to the so-called "Green Zone," since the rest of Baghdad is much too brutal for him to be out-and-about. If Iraq were safe for democracy, then he could announce his trip beforehand.

Bush says that Iraq is moving steadily toward the principles of democracy, including those infamous benchmarks, that he has advocated since 2003, but his actions--such as traveling secretly and staying in a safety zone--speak much more than his words.

It's time to leave Iraq to the Iraqis. Almost five years is more than enough.
