5. in any event I can't help but notice...

It is like Iraq does not exist today. ICC has 1510 dead soldiers. Now where those last two came from I have no clue. I have searched and found nothing. Now I did find this fine piece of US journalistic propaganda at its finest...

Warning, don't eat before reading it... :puke:

I notice Tom Friedman has lent his name to that babble.

I've seen the same memes here and there from the imperial
mouthpieces today. I suppose you could say at this point
they have been reduced to attacks on former friends and
wishful thinking in order to justify the mess in Iraq.
