Like a Peckerwood Faustus

I'd like to think the bill is finally coming due for the Mayberry Machiavellis, and the decayed, putrified remnants of their collective souls will become fodder for Lucifer and his realm:

"It's a helluva mess" says consigliere Baker, re: Mesopotamia, where eleven more US soldiers were killed, making the grim total 70 deaths in October--thus far. Meanwhile, those Iraqis who can are expressing their opinion of Shrub's clusterfuck by fleeing the scene in droves.

The four soldiers who participated in the brutal, horrible rape/murder of an Iraqi child--and the murder of her family--have been indicted. I dunno, maybe Shrub believes that the Iraqi "tolerance for violence" will somehow mitigate any outrage...but I doubt it. In fact, I'd say Team Bush aided and abetted this horrible act with their own horrible act: engaging in a war of choice for political gain.

Oh, and while there still might be a school here or there showing off a fresh coat of paint, you can forget about them being able to cut on the lights.

And finally, over here, I guess everyone stopping by has seen or otherwise heard about the murder/suicide on Rampart St. And, you know, I'm just speculating here, but the alleged (albeit with strong evidence) perpetrator was a military veteran who served in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Maybe that had nothing to do with his vicious, savage act...but maybe it did. I've noted before, though, that Tim McVeigh and John Mohammed both served in the first Gulf War, which wasn't nearly as hellish as the present conflict, and the possibility of military veterans snapping and doing lord-knows-what is certainly a troubling notion. Add in the stress of having lived through the flood/destruction of New Orleans, and it's possible Bowen was a walking time bomb.

Way to go, Team Bush.

(and sorry for the slow posting day: it's been a busy one here at work, and I've got more to do--posting-wise, I'll catch up with y'all tomorrow, reading-wise, I'll be prowling the usual websites later today).
