What Do You Mean No Progress?!

"You know, I’m tired of the naysayers, the liberals, the anti-war zealots, the idiots who continue to tell me that the reason they are so focused on keeping a count of the dead is because “until we see progress, death seems to be [unfortunately] the singular tangible outcome at this point”. What a crock of shamalamalinglong!!

This is what I don’t understand about these people. You don’t have to look far to see “progress”. I talk about progress all the time. Why don’t they see three elections as progress?"

Well that's an easy one. The elections don't result in a government, and they don't seem to result in a government based on the results of the election. Even the US is seeking to nullify the election by forming what they call a "unity government". You call that progress?
