Good News and Bad News from Iraq for "conservatives"
So far there have "only" been 2959 Americans killed in bush's war. "Conservatives" would rather that number be much higher therefore giving gravitas to their insane arguments. More bad news for them, Soldiers are coming home with mental trauma from the War. And this news just irritates the hell out of patriots who have last minute christmas shopping to do.

But on the flip side, 70 Americans have been killed so far this month, so business is picking up for the ever dwindling bush base. They are hoping bush sends thousands more to Iraq to ensure its a Happy New Year for "conservatives" with increased casualty numbers.

My hate is rational.

1. Yup -- plenty of bad news for "conservatives"
That "Republicans are pro-military" meme? It kinda falls apart when their Resolute Leader ignores top commanders.

That "mainstream" vs. "fringe" thing? They've become the "fringe."

That "War is good for the economy" line? Chimpy's Disney calculator broke when trying to calculate the national debt.

And that "spreading freedom throughout the middle east" idea? How's that working out?

2. Mine too, BOSSHOG.
Two thousand, nine hundred and twenty nine deaths are only the tip of this disaster.

Our generation was severely damaged by Viet Nam; the kids today will suffer more because of repeated deployments.
