1. Bad form to die before Bush's scripted event. I bet he won't say the

actual number dead and wounded.

4. Well according to Matthews, Wolf, Scarface, others...

the insurgency is over! I don't think that this story will pass through the corporate filter.

5. I'm surprised they announced it today.

That seems a bit off-message given the SOTU tonight.

6. Fuck Bush.

I hate him more every day, the lying, deserting piece of human refuse.

:grr:

7. Are "security and stability operations" what used to be called

"search and destroy operations?" Military doublespeak for "some kid got killed while the Iraqis were giving us sweets and flowers..."

But any death is one too many.
