Two al-Qaida Dead: BFD

Headlines screamed that 2 al-Qaida leaders were killed in Iraq over the weekend! Also in the news was airlines at standstill because of volcanic ash. Also new figures show over 1.3 million Iraqis killed since the invasion. Also Goldman Sachs reported record profits due to its skill in fraud. Also Catholic priests scandal stretches into Latin America. More suicide bombings in Iraq. More suicide bombings in Pakistan. More suicide bombings in Afghanistan. More friendly fire deaths in all theaters of U.S. engagements. More civilians deaths in all theaters of U.S. engagements.

But, hey, the news of two al-Qaida leaders dead was right there up in lights. Where has critical thinking gone? I'll tell you. When you have too much money you can get by for a time without critical thinking. A bankrupt America will bring back more critical thinking.

Baghdad Chaos: Hey George, Surge This !

Bush, our moronic, brat-in-chief, will make an Iraqi policy speech this Wednesday. He is expected to call for a "surge" of 20,000 additional U.S. troops to pacify Baghdad. Also, get this, he will call for an additional $ 1 billion for rebuilding projects in Baghdad that will be directed at Iraqi-only contractors ( is this a bribe?). It's a clean-up-as-you-destroy project.

The surge will fail. New York City employs app. 40,000 police for a city of similar size in a relatively blissful atmosphere. Someone tell me how the American soldiers know who the enemy is ? They don't wear uniforms. Even the Iraqis don't know who they are kidnapping. Note that some kidnapped victims are relaesed while others are tortured and killed.

How about not destroying Baghdad so we will not have to rebuild it? Hey Bush, surge this!
