Another Day, Another Car Bomb In Iraq
But the GOP/Media promised that stuff like this would all stop after the Iraqi elections! (But of course, we won't care so long as it's only Iraqis that die.) Meanwhile, River over at Baghdad Burning is watching helplessly as the freedoms she had under Saddam are taken away from her. A lot of Western feminists are afraid of BushCo's implementing The Handmaid's Tale? It's already happening, in once-secular-ruled Iraq. So let's see: -- Bush said Iraq still had WMD left over from what Reagan and Bush's daddy gave Saddam. That was a lie. -- Bush then said that, well, shucks, at least we shut down Saddam's Abu Ghraib and the rape rooms. That was also a lie -- we just took them over. -- Finally, Bush said that, well, shucks, at least the Iraqi people are now much better off and freer now than they were three years ago. As River shows, that's also a lie. (We're not even counting the tens of thousands of Iraqis who are now dead because of Bush.) Oh, and our armed forces are at full stretch, we're running gobs of red ink, we're going to lose our 1500th dead soldier sometime today, all while Bush's Halliburton buddies profit obscenely. Now, tell me again what was gained from all of this?
