Poll question: which will go down as the biggest disaster in our little Iraqi Invasion?
So many choices, so little time. and no good choices left in the future to get our troops out. Or so say our democratic leaders.

5. I had planned to ask about the
death rates anticipated from that fucking V-22. then I realized, that is just plain crass and artificial. We are dealing with dead. Lots of dead. MILLIONS of potential dead. What difference does a clusterfucked Industrial-military boondoggle matter in the big scheme of things?

6. From primarily my US point of view, a number, I think:
> The loss of life, American, Iraqi and others

> The fostering of a new generation of extremists - regionally

> The loss of an educated and moderate citizenry in Iraq through forced diaspora

> The return of tribal, internecine conflict (see Afghanistan) or partition

> The destruction of Iraq, a teetering country at the outset of this debacle

> The loss of our 'standing' in the world community, in their public perceptions

> The loss of our effectiveness on the world stage

> The overt manipulation of our military as an arm of a purely political agenda

> The massive war debt fostered on the next generation

that's off the top of my head

7. Only one of our candidates looked at the evidence and voted no!
To me that is the worst part because many people have looked past that and are supporting one of the pro war candidates for POTUS. Looks like we the people will be the cause of the next war and the upcoming election could be the biggest disaster for innocent Iranians.

9. How about the colossal debt?
I admit, I don't know how many trillion$. I've lost count.
