1. Shit.

Now we're supposed to get all fired-up in support of our Commander in Chief?

That asshole will murder anyone for power.

[boneygrey]

8. This could be good for us.

Especially if they screw it up like everything else.

[knowbody0]

2. slaughter

[Love Bug]

3. I have a friend who's son is stationed in Fallujah

Shit.

[nosmokes]

4. too bad the co$t of the bombs and the bullets can't be

charged to the sqWorm/cheney campaign coffers, because that's what it's about.

[Goldmund]

5. I've been posting for the last 2 days...

...saying "no way will they try to pull this.".

Seems I was wrong. Incredible. This is a desperate roll of the dice, an all-or-nothing play.

[DuctapeFatwa]

12. This is as close to a sure bet as they've got. Every dead Iraqi equals

X votes for Bush. And it is late for Kerry to throw together and deploy a company of "private security contractors."

[Goldmund]

14. "Major combat operations over."

"Mission accomplished."

"Steady progress."

It flies in the face of everything they've been saying.

And it's timed in such a way that it looks like a cheap political trick.

[Just Me]

6. Blood for oil. Death in lieu of "freedom" and "democracy".

,...sad,...

[NewYorkerfromMass]

7. I thought "major combat operations" were over?

was Bush lying to us?

[KansDem]

10. Republicans don't lie...they always tell the truth...

It's Reality that changes...

[Zorra]

9. Over 100,000 innocent Iraqi civilians have been murdered by Bu$h.

Guess we better "revise that figure upward."

[nolabels]

11. Only a fool turns the gas spigot on during a blaze

I dunno, but would be thinking even this will backfire on bushco the way things are breaking for the scumbags

13. Operation: Save Bush's Ass
