remember when Gen. Franks said: "We don't do body counts."

Body Count 1001
Where Have All the Soldiers Gone?

-snip-

Back when the pack of professional liars in Washington DC and their slavish corporate press still had Americans brainwashed that Iraq was a threat to the United States, General Tommy Franks--then the chief military planner of the catastrophe in Iraq--said, "We don't do body counts."

He didn't want anyone to know what might be behind the numbers.

These pampered fucking sociopaths have no conception of the anguish of ordinary people, of how inconsolable is this loss.

The same Tommy Franks who didn't do body counts once, in his soldierly way, called Douglas Feith, one of the intellectual architects of this enterprise of grief, "one of the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet."

Yet Franks--ever the obedient servant--has now climbed up on a political cross to sop up the guilt for the "Mission Accomplished" fiasco organized by Karl Rove's reptile myth-makers. Franks now enthusiastically campaigns for the election of George W. Bush, a de facto chief executive whose cognitive capacities make Feith look like Robert Oppenheimer.
