"Violence on the TV Screens"


Being an adult means recognizing reality-based, well, reality...as horrible as it might be:

A raging, daylong battle erupted in central Baghdad on Tuesday and four Iraqi soldiers were killed, 16 U.S. soldiers were wounded and a U.S. helicopter was hit by ground fire at the close of the second month of the massive security crackdown on the capital.

Sixty miles to the north, in the mostly Sunni city of Muqdadiyah, a woman with a suicide vest strapped beneath her black Muslim robe blew herself up in the midst of 200 Iraqi police recruits. The attack killed at least 16 men waiting to learn if they had been hired.

This is FOUR YEARS into Operation Mesopotamian Tragedy. But don't expect pouting-little-baby-in-chief to behave in a manner even approaching that of an adult, much less own up to his utterly awful judgment, and beg forgiveness...

Continued war...continued death and suffering...as little more than balm for an administration's ego.

Don Imus, as puerile as he was/is, doesn't even come close.
