5 G.I.s and 4 Contractors Are Killed in Separate Attacks

Funny that Zell Miller didn't say anything about "the terrorists" cackling over our ridiculous operation in Iraq, because they are--much more so than the 9/11 hearings. The arguments given for war in Iraq are nothing more than the collective analytical reasoning of the meduallus oblongatus of the pro-invasion crowd: well, we had to do SOMETHING.

Yeah, like, I don't know--maybe catch bin Laden, instead of giving up after a couple of months?

The reasoning behind the Iraq invasion is so damn flimsy that it makes a house of cards look like the Great Pyramid at Giza plateau. Shit, if the Bush team was a bunch of folks working for Orkin, their "termite protection plan" for your house would be to burn down the neighbor's house up the street--then argue that there was a "potential" for termite infestation there too.

Of course, razing a structure certainly will solve a termite problem, in a manner of speaking. Burn it to the ground. Look at the pretty flames. And don't think about where you're going to live, or the value of the property--because, if you do, that just means that you're siding with the termites...
