American Death Toll In Iraq Passes 500

By Brian Webber

And what was that Bush was saying about Misison Accomplished back in May?

Get this a-hole out of office and get our troops home already, before we lose more to suicide bombers, acidents, and suicides (you heard me right. There have been AT LEAST a dozen suicides since Bush's declaration that the war was over)!

This whole mess is ridiculous. You hear about those chemical warheads the Danes found a little while back? Turned out to be useless (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=540&e=5&u=/ap/20040114/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq_mortar_shells You may have to cut-n-paste). To the warfloggers' credit however, most of them didn't jump on this one as a justification for the war.

Also something to keep in mind is that the "final verdict" isn't in yet, so stay tuned. All things considered, however, it looks like another Great Blight Hope turned into another wild goose egg -- Truth a thousand, Bush zero. And then there's this, http://www.nydailynews.com/news/wn_report/story/154067p-135566c.html (again, may have to cut-n-paste). If Bush really believed that Saddam had ANY sort of responsibility for 9/11 (other than probably being happy about it, which, while bad, is not justification for a pre-emptive war of agression comparable to what the Japanese did to us in 1941), why would he be holding back the investigation? Let me quote to you my favorite parts of the article.

1: "Getting an extension could be a political headache for Bush if the final 9/11 report is issued in the summer. Kean, a Republican, has said the report will name names and point to failures in the Bush administration."

Good to know there are still some honest Republicans out there.

And 2: "The White House proposed greenlighting the extension if the commission would agree to release the report after the November election, but then officials pulled back the offer, Newsweek reported yesterday."

Sure, we all know Karl Rove was a crafty SOB, but, but so openly?!? They can't think they can get away with it, can they?

Oh, wait. So far, they have. Never mind...
