3. Tell me again

what the goal of this war is? I can't remember anymore... I thought it was something about democracy and freedom...

WHAT IS THE PLAN?? At what point have we "won" and our soldiers can quit slaughtering the Iraqi's and they can come home?

I read a report the other day that described several of the absolutely preventable deaths that have occurred as a result of the lack of doctors in Falluja - a woman giving birth (mom and baby both dead), a child died from a snakebite, minor wounds leading to infection and death.... and we won't let the Red Crescent bring medicine and aid to the people of Iraq.

Is this bringing us closer to victory? I can't quite figure it out at this point.

5. The goal of the war has been met. Victory has been achieved.

The goal of the war was to keep bush in office beyond 2004.

6. Anybody wanna try and spin THIS brilliant move?

How the PHUK does the regime justify this? People might die if the convoy proceeds; people damn sure will die if it's held up.
