A Series of Articles on Iraq: Illustrations of why I want to drive a spike either through my head or
Ibn Bush's.
Painful, painful, painful. Not just Iraq, but the generalized problems.
Thus, the articles, which I will comment on later.

I am still baffled as to what the "Iraqi" people have done in re the comment about defying the naysayers or what fucking progress is being made.
It is this nonsense that enrages me, for these fools are willfully blind to the fact that they have not only driven off a cliff, but are about to smash the fuck into reality.

I forgot this article as well:
UNFRIENDLY FIRE
Civilian Dead, and Bitterness: No Way to Bridge the Rage?

Let me observe that is probably not helpful for US Generals to be quite so obstinant in their public comments. Having seen the video, it is hard to credit the missiles needed to be fired or that that helos were taking fire from that actual spot.
[edit]
A side note, the implied threat supra to the President of the United States of course should not be read literally, nor my own suicidal state. Call this creative license.
