Still waiting for the uprising

The Decider said today:

The surge has done more than turn the situation in Iraq around -- it has opened the door to a major strategic victory in the broader war on terror. For the terrorists, Iraq was supposed to be the place where al-Qaeda rallied Arab masses to drive America out. Instead, Iraq has become the place where Arabs joined with Americans to drive al-Qaeda out. In Iraq, we are witnessing the first large-scale Arab uprising against Osama bin Laden, his grim ideology, and his murderous network.

(See full text of the Bush speech on the White House web site).

Obviously, George Bush has left us mortals behind and entered an exalted spiritual plane, where an alternate reality reigns. So it's impossible to explain what he is talking about. Let's see what the Director of National Intelligence says in its last National Intelligence Estimate from December 3rd, 2007, which was released in declassified form:

1. Al Qaeda is and will remain the most serious threat to the Homeland.

2. Al Qaeda has protected or regenerated [...] in the Pakistan Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).

This directly contradicts what Dubya is saying. What "large-scale Arab uprising against Osama bin Laden" is he talking about?

There is, clearly, no end to Bush's grand delusions; his only saving grace is that he is completely incompetent. But the real depressing thing is this: where is the uprising against George Bush and his apologists like John McCain, who want to continue the Iraq war and promote it as a part of our Global War on Terror?
