Surprise

We just found out, this week, that the military WAY underreported cilvilian deaths (acceptable collateral damage, according to Cheney) in Iraq. Well over a hundred thousand Iraqi civilians, including thousands of children, were killed directly, not counting the horribly wounded, or those who died from lack of water, sanitation, medicine, etc, during Bush's 'oops, bad info', war, to increase the price of oil for his 'Big Oil' buddies. Don't believe me? Read 'Texasville' and 'Friday Night Lights', by Pulitzer prize winning authors who explain the oil business, run by the Bush's, around Midland, Texas. Worked out real well for them.  For the innocent civilians in Iraq? Not so much... (Was gonna post a picture, and there are LOTS of them, of the children, but was too sickening.)

Wow you didn't bash Bush for a few blogs. Didn't last though.

Hey, I'm just reacting to the Wikileaks info about W's Big Adventure in Iraq. Over a trillion dollars, over a hundred thousand dead, so his oil and defense contributors can make big bucks. Nothing new, though...

The U.S. believes it can tame the mighty Iraq and bring peace to the country. Not with Iran standing by and feeding the insurgency. Not with the hatred between Shites, Sunnis, and Kurds. That country has always been a cauldron of discord and violence. The Middle East will never be tamed.

Won't be tamed, but huge opportunity to make big bucks. There's a reason the Repubs are keeping Bush/Cheney under wraps. Who wants to be reminded what they did to us?

Just wait until after the Nov. 2 election....Doesn't Bush have a book he's going to be promoting? I bet my bottom dollar it won't be long after Nov. or the first of the year and he'll be out on the book trail. First his boys have to see how the votes go.
Besides Rove does all the speaking for the Bush administration. He's the dude with the Neanderthal head.

Rove/Cheney was the 'power behind the throne' during W's reign of error. He was just a figurehead for the Big Oil/Defense contractors who ran the gov't and made a killing, in more ways than one.

The Biography "Decision Points" will be released Nov. 9th. Bush will be interviewed by Matt Lauer on Nov. 5th and again on the Today show on the 10th. Told ya' would be after the elections. Supposedly it's 10 points about his decision making during his 8 years as the puppet in the White House. What he thought he did right and wrong, etc. Why it's called a Bio., I don't know.

If your sources is from the book "Obama's Wars," then you left out one small fact: The great majority of unreported deaths were at the hands of their fellow Iraqis.

This is not a value judgement on the war itself, but only to insure accuracy of the information.

My source is Wikileaks, whose source is the US military.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
