BERMING BAGHDAD: Just asking a question that won't be asked....

[radfringe]

If we are making all this progress in Iraq - why are we building berms around Baghdad?

[Maine-ah]

1. berms?

[Maddy McCall]

2. dirt walls.

[Maine-ah]

3. thankyou.

[Maddy McCall]

5. You're quite welcome.

Good morning. :hi:

[Maddy McCall]

4. 1) To give Halliburton something else to do.

2) Because when you bring freedom to people, sometimes you have to build a wall around the place to keep it in.

:shrug:

6. I guess they need to pile up the dirt for mass graves. The bodies

are piling up so fast they need ready access to graves. Can't even go to the market for a donut without getting your head blown off or risk being hauled off for a friendly torture session somewhere. Now that is some real progress wouldn't you say.

7. the White House would tell you that the increased attacks are progress

no shitin' you . . .

Bush Says Attacks Are Reflection of U.S. Gains

President Bush yesterday put the best face on a new surge of violence in Iraq as his top defense aides huddled to discuss additional ways of thwarting the anti-American rebellion there before it becomes more widespread.

The president, speaking after attacks on police stations and a Red Cross facility in Iraq killed at least 35 people, said such attacks should be seen as a sign of progress because they show the desperation of those who oppose the U.S.-led occupation.

"The more successful we are on the ground, the more these killers will react," Bush said as he sat in the Oval Office with L. Paul Bremer, the U.S. administrator in Iraq. He added: "The more progress we make on the ground, the more free the Iraqis become, the more electricity is available, the more jobs are available, the more kids that are going to school, the more desperate these killers become, because they can't stand the thought of a free society."

8. america has discovered it's new economic plan:

building walls! -- a little wall here -- a little wall -- a little wall every where!

and boom you have prosperity and security -- sort of -- maybe -- kind of -- ok, not really.

[DemonFighterLives]

9. Bush and his cronies should just berm up their cash

It would make a hell of a wall and the Iraqi's would be much better off picking up the crumbs.
:argh:
More electricity available- Free Society - bah, more like genocide central.
:dem:

[whistle]

10. Beginning of trench warfare due to the stalemate in Iraq war execution

[SpiralHawk]

11. All Quiet Along the Western Front. Not.

Another bad military idea from a Preppy Frat Boy Deserter and his nefarious assistant, Dick "Five Deferments" Cheney...

No one has to wonder why our military is so mis-led when they consider these two jokers at the top of the heap.

[whistle]

12. Plus a weasel worm like Donald Rumsfeld and a lackey toad

...like Condi Rice
