Some Perspective On Iraq

Commenter and Eschaton regular HandOver Fist has this reminder for us all tonight:

18 US servicemen died in Somalia and the Repugs wanted heads to roll (ignoring the fact that Bush Sr. gave Somalia to Clinton as a Thanksgiving present). Les Aspin, Secretary of Defense, resigned. Now, ONE HUNDRED times as many US soldiers have died and not a damn peep. And Rumsfeld just stays in his office, doing what, I haven't a fucking clue.

Neither does Rumsfeld, but it doesn't matter so long as the corporate media is on his side.
