2. The sad reality is that none of that shit is true.
As a result we will be in worse shape than we are now next year at this time.

5. You got that right
It's disgusting -- they don't know how to govern, nor do they want to. They just want to make sure the "other guys" don't get a chance to.

They will never even begin to be able to live down the lies about WMD much less the rest of the shit they have piled on since then.

Or did I mis-hear a news report this morning?

9. Bet they Didn't get these menos..........


Bring 'em on: Three U.S. Marines assigned to Regimental Combat Team 5 died when their vehicle hit a roadside bomb in Iraq's Anbar Province.

Bring 'em on: A U.S. Marine assigned to the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force in Iraq's Anbar Province died "after being attacked while conducting security operations," a military release stated.

Bring 'em on: U.S. soldier assigned to Multi-National Division Baghdad died Wednesday morning when his vehicle struck a roadside bomb south of the Iraqi capital.

OTHER SECURITY INCIDENTS

Baghdad:

Two Iraqi policemen were wounded in a blast in southwestern Baghdad. Two policemen were wounded and a police vehicle was damaged in the attack.

Fourteen bodies of workers in an electricity plant were found in the city morgue on Tuesday. They were abducted and killed on June 12, the Association of Muslim Scholars said in a statement.

A bomb attached to a motorcycle exploded in the Alawwi area in central Baghdad, killing two civilians and injuring eight others.

Najaf:

Gunmen riding a motorcycle shot dead a police officer in Najaf.

Taji:

(Update) The kidnappers of more than 100 Iraqi government employees have freed about half of their hostages: The industry ministry workers were snatched by gunmen Wednesday after their shift ended at a factory north of Baghdad. "Women hostages and those who were Sunnis were set free, and we believe that now about 40 to 50 employees are still held captive," an interior ministry official said on Thursday.

Iraqi police stormed a farm north of Baghdad and freed at least 17 people who were snatched a day earlier in a mass kidnapping of about 85 workers and family members at the end of a factory shift.

Iraqi soldiers said they had found several bodies in a violent area north of Baghdad where factory workers were abducted by gunmen a day earlier. "Only 30 employees were kidnapped, of whom 25 were released the same day and only five now are still being held," an official in the minister's office told Reuters.

Karbala:

An Iraqi ayatollah who spent nearly 15 years in exile in Southern California was shot twice as he was returning home after delivering a sermon in the holy city of Karbala last week but survived the assassination attempt, his son, spiritual leader of an Irvine mosque, said Wednesday. Sayed Mortada Al-Qazwini, 76, who joyously returned to Iraq two weeks after the ouster of Saddam Hussein in 2003, refused to wear a bulletproof vest and mostly shunned security provided to him by the government and Shiite religious authorities, said Moustafa Al-Qazwini.

Dhuluiya:

Gunmen killed an Iraqi soldier in his home in Dhuluiya, 40 km (25 miles) north of Baghdad.

Iraqi forces found a civilian car with two bodies in the town of Bani Saad, west of Baquba. One of the bodies is of an Iraqi Army engineer with a rank of a captain.

The governor of Iraq's Diyala province was wounded and his driver and bodyguard killed when a bomb exploded near his convoy in the city of Baquba. Raad al-Mowla was travelling home from work when the shrapnel from the blast punctured his car's tyre causing it to overturn. The police source said Mowla was flown to a U.S. military hospital in Iraq for treatment.

Hawija:

Gunmen killed a carpenter on Wednesday in Hawija, 70 km (43 miles) southwest of Kirkuk.

Kirkuk:

Iraqi soldiers killed a gunman and arrested two on Wednesday after coming under attack in Kirkuk.

(W. of) An Iraqi civilian was shot dead by unknown militants west of Kirkuk. A source at the police in Kirkuk told KUNA that unknown gunmen, who were riding a black Opel Vectra, opened fire at Mohammad Mohsen Hussein and killed him.

13. Not so long as he and his buddies can easily eavesdrop on
any of all of Congress and their aides. Whole lot more being covered up than misuse of the public funds in Washington. I'd bet good money there are a lot more empty hotel rooms this year over previous years.
