Admin admits to resumption of "Combat Operations"
Now, they haven't done it in so many words, but according to BBC America this morning the Administration has admitted that we are now invovled in a Low Intensity Conflict (LIC) in Iraq. LIC is a military term used to define a level of combat ops with a low tempo and poorly defined battle lines.

So ladies and gentlemen, lets make sure to let everyone know that we are back in "combat" in Iraq. George Bush and company have said so.

3. Time for another banner?
"Inept" or "corrupt"? Which word best describes this administration?

4. Both good, I would add 'extremist, flawed, illogical, unreasonable...
blindly ideological, theocratic, imperious, out of touch, morally bankrupt, greedy, power-mad, and on and on and on...

5. Whoops, let's not get ahead of ourselves
(I just had my eyes examined: "Which is better, this . . . or this?")

So, first we start with "corrupt" or "inept".

Then we proceed to "extremist" . . . or "illogical"?

What do you think: "Out of touch"? Or "greedy"?
