54 US soldiers, 500 Iraqi civilians killed since "free elections"
You know, the FREE elections that were held. LAST MONTH. And P.S., the results aren't in yet, so who knows how the numbers are being cooked. What are we waiting for, Mr. Bush? Do we have anything to show from these "free elections" other than a bunch of dead people and pasty, pudgy caucasian Republican congressmen waving purple fingers around?

1. Those elections weren't free. Iran most likely stuffed ballots
And the SCIRI (Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq) won. Whatever government emerges, it will likely be a totalitarian theocratic oligarchy.

2. So I wonder what's the next benchmark for "turning the corner" in Iraq?
How many times have the American people been told, "Once we get past ________ in Iraq, things will improve"?
