When does the surge kick in and democracy and freedom spread through out
the mid-east in the great George W bush vision?

BTW we are now fighting Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia in our global war on terror.

A suspected member of Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia who confessed to involvement in an August 2003 bomb
attack that killed one of Iraq’s most prominent Shiite leaders and at least 84 other people has been hanged,
a Justice Ministry official said Friday.

1. Another week, another #2 dead.

How many is that?

2. How many time are they going to hang this same #2 guy,, I'll bet

he is getting tired of being hung that much

4. Well according to the Iraq Study Group ....

.... there were no more than 1,300 foreign al Qaeda in Iraq and that
most all of the rest of the al Qaeda in Iraq were Sunni nationals. Also
al Qaeda was a non factor in Iraq prior to our invasion.

Watch just how much the administration and the media now use the
word al Qaeda to describe who we are fighting in Iraq even though
"they" are a very small part of the problem.

al Qaeda = Iraq = bin Laden =9/11 rinse lather & repeat.

BTW the hanged man was not listed as a # 2 in the N.Y. Times article
I just made that up .... :rofl:

3. Bush = Death. THAT is his legacy, here and in the world. He has brought trauma, depression, and

death.
