Default OT-I ain't No senator's son...

The media keeps harping on the "number of casualities after Bush declared
hostilities over." Fu*king idiots. We have lost 500+ US G.I.'s since the war
began. How many people get slaughtered on U.S. highways each day? Around 130,
worth about 4 days of this war.

I had the priviledge to be going thru the Atlanta airport several weeks ago when a
lot of the 101st Airborne were coming home fom Iraq. I yelled "Hey, Army. Wore
that uniform 30+ years ago, it's changed color. Glad the haircuts are the same.
God bless you guys." To my suprise and delight, they all saluted me.

I believe calling the situation in Iraq "sucessful" would be a bit of a
stretch. The initial assult was impressively successful but it was done
with a military left to Bush by Clinton administration.

One thing I will say for lawyers. They lie a whole lot better than the
Dubya does.

Yer Right Glen, he doesn't lie at all. So he wouldn't do it well would he
). And all the worlds military experts agree that the iraq campaign will be
studied in war colleges for decades to come for it's brilliant precision, speed
& total success at overrunning a well entrenched military force. Whether you
and the (other) bleeding heart libs agree or not, it's a fact.
