Much of their shows while I was listening to them was b!tching about all we hear from Iraq is bad news, nothing of the good coming out of it. While I agree I'd like to hear some of that good news, today is certainly not the day to be trying to do that. We have lost 13 of our own this weekend and numerous others injured. This is a serious situation and it's happening in various places in Iraq. Of course, seeing this uprising in the news is scaring the Bush fanboys as they're afraid their puppet will drop further in polls so they're trying to spin away the news and show the "Sunny side of Iraq."
Just face it, Bush is going to win the election.
The world is becoming a better place because of his willingness to confront centers of evil. The weak allow themselves to be emotionally affected by the daily news instead of envisioning the end goal. I'm not trying to trivialize the loss of life we've endured in Iraq and and the pain felt by the families affected, but these numbers are nothing compared to past wars. If your mindset endured throughout our history as a nation, we would never have broken away from Britain.
Hmm...terrorist activity is still going strong. Not only by Al Qaeda but also between Palestine and Israel. Al Qaeda has splintered and is growing...now present on five continents. How is the world a better place now?
Also, what is the end goal? Bush still has no freakin' clue who will take over in Iraq a mere 12 weeks from now. That's pretty damn scary, imo.
