3. It's bound to happen... It's just a matter of when.
He's definately not going to be remembered in history as a very good president, no matter what the FReeps say.

6. People-Official US deaths in Iraq 1508.Official Wounded 11,200
The US only has officially 150,000 people in Iraq! That means you have close to a one in ten chance of "damage" in Iraq after only 2 years!! 16,000 soldiers have been sent home sick! This could be due to DU exposure or Leishmanisis a disease caused by a parasite very common in Iraq, but not even heard of in America. As for "mental" troubles Who knows????? But its your war!!!

7. There's going to be a lot of mental illness among the troops
when they come home. There aren't enough of them in Iraq, so those already there are being asked to do too much work in an insane environment. You can't keep people in a pressure cooker like that for extended periods without their minds cracking.

Of course, bush doesn't give a second thought to these troops just like he doesn't attend any of their funerals. His only concern is how their deaths impact his approval rating.

2. I've noticed some more, but as far as I'm concerned, not enough...
Guess its time for the Bush Administration to increase their rhetoric on the So-called "Social Security Crisis"...or maybe a terra-alert....

Gawd forbid that the media and the attention of the US be focused on this disaster of an Invasion of a foreign nation!

4. It's harder to pop a balloon when it's empty.
Bush is fucking up so much that it's giving the media good fodder finally. Part of me is wanting him to completely fuck up social security... (the evil side of me) so as to expose him that much more.

5. LBN used to have Pro-Bush/Pro-War
articles before? That would be a bit odd for this forum.

8. LBN has most all articles, good or bad. If we only posted liberal articles
then LBN would be damn near empty a lot of the time.

9. The majority of Americans say bush's invasion was the WRONG thing to do
and the majority DISAPPROVE of bush's handling of Iraq.

And that's why we are, indeed, seeing more anti-moran/anti-invasion articles.
