2. hey, I've got one.
The sun still rises every day. That's the only thing that hasn't been fucked up yet, as far as I can tell.

and my heart goes out to the families of all who have been killed, hurt and tormented. It is simply shameful.

6. OK, ahem... here goes...
1. We've helped broker peace between Iraq and Iran.
2. The always picked-on French have been wholly vindicated.
3. We no longer have to "worry" about Saddam's scary mushroom clouds.
4. We'll no longer dismiss National Guardspeople as just weekend warriors.
5. FINALLY!!! The perfect rebuttal for all that "war is good for the economy" crap.
6

DANG! I can't think of anything more!!!

10. I love to look at pictures
even the gruesome one. I usually checked Yahoos News Photos every day. After 3 years of looking at pictures from Iraq, I have not seen one single picture of anything that I could call reconstruction. I have not seen a single picture that shows the billions being spent in a positive way. Unfortunately, there are no pretty pictures when your government is committing genocide.

11. "The Rakkkis don't have WMD no more!"
"America is not under an "Imminent Threat" no More!"
"The Torture, Murder And Rape of Iraqis is in DoD's hands now instead of letting Saddam and his sons do it all!"
"The Carlyle Group Is Making BIG Money!"
"Halliburton Stock is way up now!"
"Osama and Saddam are not plotting against us now!"
"There is plenty of civilian jobs in Iraq!"
"The US Army is hiring "everyone who wants to work!"
"1232 people have lectric 4 hours a day in Baghdad now!"
"George Bush is a "War pResident" now!"
"Saddam was a "War President" Then!"
"The Iraqi people elected everybody Bush told them to, so they are free now!"
"The DoD got rid of a lot of bombs and ammo that the expiration date was running out on!"
"The DoD is setting up Death Squads in Iraq to make sure "freedom rains"?
America has brought Jesus and Fire and Brimstone to the "heathens" in the ME!


To name just a few of the goodies being showered on the "free" people of Iraq!
