“Where do these idiots come from?”

You mean idiots like Bush and Cheney? Why, from the private sector, of course. Places like Halliburton and trust funds. But make no mistake — they have only the best interests of you, me and every other American in mind.

Now Republican wars Gulf War 147 battle deaths, Iraq 2,003, that’s 2,150 deaths in 2 wars. The shortest wars in world history by the way. The Gulf War lasted 100 hours. The Iraq War major combat operations lasted 2 weeks. But even if you count all 3 years of the occupation, that still is only 50 guys a year. The Dem wars 19 years 22,427 battle deaths per year.

John Kerry in his rebuttal of the President’s speech said the following, “…no one has said that we should run from car bombers” meaning cut and run because he took a phrase out of the Presdent’s speech out of context. Now, it seems to me that Congressman John Murtha was doing just that 2 weeks ago.

Then there is the following available on Russ Feingold’s website (front page btw)

“I believe that the American people deserve clarity from the administration regarding the United State’s commitment in Iraq. I have proposed a target timeframe for the completion of the military mission in Iraq and suggested December 31, 2006 as the target date for the completion of the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq. I believe that articulating some plan for the end of the military mission can help to undermine the recruiting efforts and the unity of insurgents, encourage Iraqi ownership of the transition process, reassure the American people, and create space for a broader discussion of our real national security priorities.”

Ok ok, no one is advocating cut and run. Make up history all you want. But the truth is the truth.

If Rummy et al. were serious, they wouldn’t be fighting a ground war, which is unwinnable when the enemy thinks nothing of suicide tactics; they’d be bombing the hell out of those cameljockey pissbags until it was safe to move in.

Only someone at the height of delusional, rhetoric-swallowing bloodthirsty fantasy could believe that the 2,000 American lives lost so far have counted toward any sort of “progress,” or that Iraqis have any interest in the sort of democracy the Bush people claim is in the offing. All those [edited] know over there is pain, so the only useful tactic is to hurt them.

B-U-U-U-R-R-R-R-P!!!
