2. But, but, this doesn't support what Bremer claimed only a day or two ago

Actually, the Iraqii guerrillas are turning their attention a-w-a-y from Americans, and going after the collaborators, instead!

Yeah, right, Bremer. As if we EVER believed that.

3. And what a move for the 2004 election Bush made.

Will this turn out to be a air carrier landing all over or is this because that one failed so badly? I would think if was to replace that landing. Course as always the tax payers money is used to re-elected this man and we are slowly(?) falling in to debt we will pay for for years. Creeping feeling of dread with each move this crazy Bush and co make.I have always felt we go in ups and down and for the general pop we are going down. Now I am starting to think we just my not come out of this, or things will have to go a lot lower before people wake up and see that we have crooks that are stealing us blind.

4. As the casualties pile up

I think people will chalk this up as being what it is - another shitty Rovian p.r. stunt.

Of course, we can always count on the media to cover W's ass.

5. THE SCORE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE FIRST

Before their war was won = 138. After their mission accomplished = 302 more, Total young land of the free and home of the brave heroes just following orders = 440 (not counting dying among 2,444 wounded.). Evil doers massacred = 9,479 Iraqi men, women, and children. Those seeking vengeance for sake of family and invaded homeland honor = most. Years for Viet Cong to come together = several. Time for Iraqi resistance to build = damned near immediate. Have a nice day.:)
