memorial day redux

What can one say? Well: we can say this at least. The president is right that al Qaeda remains a terible threat to Americans. He is right to insist on this. But one core reason he is ight is because he has been in the White House for the last six years. Al Qaeda surely never had a more helpful man in such a powerful place. After over six years of this presidency, bin Laden is still at large. Five and a half years after Bin Laden's religious tools murdered 3,000 innocents, this president still cannot find or capture or kill him.Five and a half years after that dreadful day, al Qaeda's reach in the Middle East is more extensive than ever, centered in Iraq, where it was barely existet before the war. Over four years after invading Iraq, the security situation there is as grave as it has ever been. Tens of thousands of innocents have ben added to the three thousand murdered on 9/11 - many of them unspeakably tortured and murdered by death squads or Islamist cells empowered by Bush's jaw-dropping negligence. Over three thousand young Americans have died in order to give al Qaed this victory and this new platform.

Check out today's NYT for two articles about the Iraq "war." One is about disillusioned soldiers and the other is about how few images of the “war” are being generated by the imbedded journalists…they actually have to get waivers from living soldiers before they are allowed to release any pictures of them injured or dead. Like “Hey. Can you sign this so I can show your dead body in the paper if you get killed…not like that’s gonna happen, but just in case.”

Like the NYT said, that’s kinda a morale killer. I don’t think I’ve hated a crew of fucktards more than W and his cronies. Seriously.

That Arlington West reminds me of that display you can see coming off the exit on your way to STRI...but it's for aborted babies (same kind of crosses display). The latter are more important than soldiers....
