While Allawi is here profusely thanking everyone....

..who made it possible for him to be a real-life Pinnochio (I got no strings...)

Has he said anything about the 1000-PLUS young Americans who gave their LIVES so he could become Iraq's new "Buzz Waldrip"?

I doubt it.

Fucking PNAC PUPPET!

1. "1000-PLUS young Americans".saying it like that makes you

realise just how tragic it is..sometimes the numbers don't quite sink in. If I try to talk about it to Repugs they dismiss it as though it's just a number. Even worse they say.."we are prepared to pay that sacrifice"..as though it's them !!!

3. Never had anyone say that to me...

That "we are prepared to pay..." bullshit. probably because I wear my heart and politics on my sleeve and they know my response would be "So? why are you still HERE, instead of over THERE? (most around here are still young enough to go die there)

1000-PLUS. and that's just AMERICAN lives! We may never know how many thousands of Afghans and Iraqis died.

So while Allawi glad-hands everyone who sent him 67 gigabucks to put in his Swiss accounts, still, not ONE word for the dead...

2. I'm watching the press conference right now

on C-span.

W seemed to be quite sure that it is hard work in Iraq but we will stay the course and it is a part of the war on terror and we will succeed (oops "hard work" again while I was typing) times have been hard these are hard times........

You can watch it if you want but that is pretty much it

Ooh (25:40) he just said that we can't send mixed messages to the troops (he he almost forgot that talking point)
