Bush claim of Iraqi progress refuted

[rooddood743]

We've all heard how Bush has been whining lately that the media "filter" is leaving out all the progress being made in Iraq...

Well, here's the counter-argument: Whatever progress is being made, (and brother, it ain't a lot!) no progress is worth the cost in American boys and girls lives. Over 300 dead to get the lights back on in Iraq! (Not to mention we were the ones that put 'em out in the first place.)

What, a couple of hundred arms and legs to get the water running again? (Not to mention several billion spent that we could use right here)

No, Mr. pResident, whatever "accomplishments" you may lay claim to, they are overshadowed by the blood it cost to acheive them.

2. Don't Forget The Luchre!

Heck, we could have shipped in Evian and given each home a generator and fuel for 1% of what we've paid the wonderful war profiteers to undo the damamage to the infrastructure!

3. And it seems to me....

That Bush and his band of Nazi's seem to imply you don't really count if you were merely wounded. They really never talk that much about the thousands that didn't get killed but were hit and may get to spend the rest of their lives without arms or legs. Hell of a trade-off so Cheney and Halliburton can share billions $$$$$.

Its a frickin mess over there,Bush knows it,his whole Nazi Regime administration knows it but,they want the whoring press to go to bat for them and spin this into a flowery situation. Bullshit....

4. 2 more today. How many now since Bush's taunt of "bring them

5. So what Dem do most support?

This is what is so bizarre about our party. We all *mostly* against continued action in Iraq, yet only one candidate wants to end our occupation immediately, and that candidate doesn't have much support and will be out soon.

Why is that?

6. Denial that the US is in the hands of

a bloody cabal. Most people refuse to believe what they know to be true and rely on that most elusive hope that everything will turn out all right. Blind faith. The US has yet to learn the lesson of defeat, that when we play dirty we can't always win.

7. This is what I've been saying. I don't care that much.

The America people didn't support an invasion of Iraq in order to rebuild the country, they supported it to eliminate weapons of mass destruction. Now we're supposed to care about healthcare for Iraqis. Uh huh.
