How bad does the Iraq situation have to get
before it starts showing up in Bush's polling numbers? With the incredible downward trajectory that seems to be happening over there, will we reach a "tipping point" where people start saying, "Enough!"?

1. More American deaths, no doubt...

The Green Zone really came under fire the past few days. I don't want things to get worse there, but I fear it will.

3. I don't think so.
The public will never know what the real body count is as long as these A-holes are exercising control over the media. "Embedded" reporters are quisling shills. Give em shit every time you meet them!

2. I'm getting a very nervous feeling - imagine that Bushco want's this to
just "go away". I wonder if our worst fears about them will be realized in the near future. I've never known such power hungry insane fools to inhabit our government previously - it worries me a lot.

wars and drive an even deeper wedge between Islam and America.

7. True..that may be the only thing.
I hope it never gets to that point, though.

6. Do the networks even have reporters over there anymore?
I thought that the reporters probably use a blue screen and Pentagon footage. Even if the reporters are over there, I doubt that they leave the Green Zone.
