Snip...

At least 992 people have been killed in a surge of sectarian killings since the Feb. 22 bombing of a Shiite Muslim shrine in Samarra, according to an Associated Press count.

"Now I have to spend time worrying about my safety while walking in the streets," said Hashim. "I have to worry about my children when they leave home for school. Instead of being comfortable and enjoying time with my family, I worry that I can't ensure their good life."

"I got nothing from this so-called liberation, just this cell phone and my satellite receiver. But I lost my three daughters," said Nawar Maarof, a 34-year-old taxi driver who said he had dreamed of becoming an accountant. "I have a feeling that my destiny is the same. Anyway, we're all dead."

Salam Nassir, a 25-year-old college student, also longed for Saddam.

"We deserve all this because we didn't fight the Americans," he said. "We had to know from the start they would not help us and were lying about liberating Iraq."

4. Bush says to look beyond the violence. Never mind the deaths.

Collateral damage or civil war, it doesn't matter why they die, just don't pay attention to them. Progress progress progress! That means what they have now is better than what they had before. When will bush's death count equal saddams?

5. These truly are the

sentiments of people whose dreams have been shattered, making them all the more likely to seek a solution that BushCo won't like.

6. When the goal is extermination of a people

A thousand here and there IS "progress."

7. The less Iraqis in Iraq the better.

Thousands have died and many that could afford to do so have left for other countries. That's progress for the Bush Regime. The less people in Iraq the easier it will be to subdue the rest.

8. Kill as many as possible outright

leave the survivors with inadequate care and POISON the rest...

9. I cant wait until the war is over...

And we can start holding our own Nuremburg-style trials. These assholes should spend the rest of their lives rotting behind bars. Oh and that goes for all the other assholes who helped sell this war - that includes you Hannity and O'Reilly! Dont think you're getting away with this easily!

[Disturbed]

10. I cant wait until the war is over...

It may be a long wait. Maybe 12 years.
