Motherhood and apple pie served up amid the stench of burning humans

Strike up the band and serve up more motherhood and apple pie amid the stench of burning humans in Iraq, the headless bodies, organs seeping from shredded torsos, the lifeless stares and limbless orphans, where reality plays itself out for a Texan vowing to "finish the job" he so valiantly initiated. .."Duty sometimes requires the violent restraint of violent men," Bush told his UK audience recently.

But not to worry, reporters at the Fort Carson, Colo. love-in were forbidden to interview or speak to the soldiers..."I love freedom of speech ..." assures Bush, and often...bogging down America's military to battle Iraqi guerrillas opposed to foreign occupation is integral in keeping safe America's shores from terrorism because ... it just is...Paul Wolfowitz, who told Vanity Fair earlier this year the U.S. invaded Iraq partly so it could pull its 5,000 troops out of the kingdom and thus reduce terrorism...We all know America doesn't "cut and run" from "thugs."

Beware the Iraqi mules of mass destruction and we can all be thankful Bush stood peerless guard Sept. 11, 2001, though we may never know just how resolutely, since he refuses to release all the documents pertaining to that day.

It's off to a good start with last week's appointment of an American, Rend Rahim Francke, as Iraqi ambassador to the U.S.
Who needs puppets when you can cut out the middleman?
And if an Iraqi "government" should actually bow to the wishes of the people and order out all American troops and oilpatch firms, the solution is tried and true -- regime change...just send in the regime change garrison based out of one of Saddam's palaces.

"And bringing democracy and self-rule to Iraq should be a cinch as long as it's understood that making rude movies about Republican prophets won't be tolerated in the colony."

The exporting of the twisted and mangled form of democracy, GOP style.

US soldiers speaking out. It reads like a military gag order to me. I think it's 13323 or something like that.
In addition I'm amazed that people still think the so called "children's prison" in Iraq was one, it was an orphanage. Furthermore, we don't hear anyone complaining about the use of Mark 77 during the initial bombing campaign. Something the pentagon blatantly lied about for months and only when confronted repeatedly did they say, "oh you mean those fire bombs, well, I can see why you think those firebombs were napalm, so allow me to explain." One use petrol and one uses kerosene, otherwise it's the same horrifying weapon. This IMO constitutes an international war crime and should be treated as such.
