Now that's what I call an Ally!

Just before this war began, Russia gave Iraq the location of OUR TROOPS!
Wow... that's evil.

With friends like this, who needs scapegoats?

Dick Cheney, fire-breathing monster

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrh! dickzilla - must - have- fresh - blood!

this is a few days old, but a good read if you want further proof that the VP is a malicious scumbag with no regard for the Geneva Convention.

In Memory of 2,000

The death of the 2,000th U.S. soldier has occured in Iraq. James Kinlow (above) survived just six weeks in Iraq, chronicling his fears in a journal. When he learned he was going to Iraq, Kinlow wrote out his life in summary earlier this year, leaving a blank for the newspapers to fill in later: "Mr. James O. Kinlow, 35, of Holt St. died -------- in Iraq."

A roadside bomb ripped through the Humvee he was driving, killing him and three others. I wonder what he could have done with the body armor, or armored vehicles that have been requested for two years. I wonder what he'd be doing right now if his president wasn't a contemptuous simpleton.

He leaves behind a wife and two daughters.

uh, can you repeat that for me please?

With indictments on the horizon, and many rethuglicans pooh-poohing perjury as a "technicality" it is a good idea to go back and see what those assholes said about perjury when it was in relation to a democrat.

check it out.
