And I don't think they were counting these guys. Going to be a sad month for a lot of families. This is the highest per day rate since Jan 05 when it was 107 for the month.

5. "restive?" Faluja is "restive?" WTF???!?!
buy that editor a thesaurus!!!
"restive" just isn't the right adjective.
try "bloody" or "shattered."

get our people home. now.

12. "Restive" means restless or unsettled
Also, " nervous or impatient under pressure or restraint" or "unruly". Still, I wonder why the constant use of that particular adjective in reports of Iraq, unless our Mainstream Propaganda Ministry thinks most folks will confuse the word with "restful".

13. We'll turn Fallujah into rubble
Well, smaller rubble. Kinka like gravel into pebbles, ya know? And then we'll turn Fallujah into even smaller rubble. Sandy rubble. Sand-like rubble. You know.

15. Add three more to the big pile of bodies

Grass Bush

Pile the bodies high in Austerlitz and Waterloo Iraq
Shovel them under and let me work--
I am the grass; bush; I cover all.

And pile them high in Gettyburg Baghdad
And pile them high in Ypres and Vedum Mossoul and Al Fallaujah

Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:
What place is this?

I am the grass bush.
Let me work.

Carl Sandburg


Support the war - Donate a Son a Daughter
The GOP working for a better America
God Bless America
