“There is a greater darkness than the one we fight against; it is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we( should ) fight is not against powers or principalities; it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender.” The future is all around us, waiting in moments of transition to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future, or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.
(except for the (should), from an episode of Babylon5 )
I say, Impeach Bush!!

Yeah, Pete, fling a rabbit - the one from “Holy Grail” would do nicely.

Damned, Pete IVDL, I wish you were a member of the White House press corps. The look on Scottie Mac’s face when you asked, “Why the Fuck have 2000 American Kids Died [in Iraq]?” would be absolutely priceless, especially if Helen Thomas chimed in with, “Yeah, Scottie Mac, why?”

As you were”assisted” out the door, you could fling one of those deadly rabbits at Scottie Mac.

Spot on, Adam. Now we wait to see how the White House spins the nice, round figure. “Terrorist Insurgents Murder Spree Continues: Lucky We’re Fighting Them Over There, Or It Would Be Over Here”, instead of “Why The Fuck Have 2000 American Kids Died?”.
Not That Pete - can’t wait for Bush to bring Freedom to Jason. After all, Bush hasn’t got the intelligence to distinguish between a lie and a ficticious figure. Or maybe he’ll Baptiz(s)e him. Or offer counseling. Oh, wait, all the counseling programs have had - or are having - their federal funding withdrawn, aren’t they.

An overlooked point in Adam’s piece — this Jason fellow. He seems to be quite the evil-doer, what with his Weapon of Machete Destruction and persistent freedom-hating pretty-white-kid-killing agenda. It’s high time this administration declared a “War on Jason” (seeing as we’ve wrapped up these Osama and Iraq things so well). Who’s with me?! Let’s roll!

Very bad luck, bunnies. Whenever possible, refer to them as “underground mutton” or “furry things.”

Under no circumstances send a furry thing to a loved one (especially one stationed in Iraq).

Apropos of nothing, here’s some comic relief

www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-1815040,00.html

As the droll interviewee on the BBC noted, the werehouse [sic] housing the Wallace and Gromit props BURNED DOWN. Coincidence? I think not.

And if you’re a national guardsman in Iraq and see a bunny, for christssake don’t go on patrol…

I wonder how many will die for Bush’s war in the end?

Frank Rich’s editorial in Sunday’s NY Times showed how there were 2 different camps involved in the pushing of this war. Rove needed a war in order to re-elect W, and the neocons wanted to rebuild a Middle East country in their own image. Together they knew that neither of these reasons would fly with the public, so they went from WMD’s, 9/11, fight them there so that we don’t have to fight them here, freedom for Iraqis, etc, down the line.

When the reasons given don’t make sense, they aren’t the real reasons.

Yep. It’s official and damn depressing. Now if those invertebrate politicians would just evolve and stand up to Shrub saying “Enough is enough!” Don’t apologize- act!!!!!!

Sadly, it came a day early. From AP:

BAGHDAD, Iraq - The U.S. military death toll reached 2,000 with the death of an Army sergeant who was wounded by a roadside bomb north of Baghdad and died in Texas last weekend. A Pentagon announcement Tuesday said Staff Sgt. George T. Alexander Jr., 34, of Killeen, Texas, died in San Antonio, Texas. The death raised the Associated Press tally of military fatalities in the Iraq war to 2,000. Alexander was wounded Oct. 17 in Samarra, a town 60 miles north of the Iraqi capital. He was assigned to the 1st Batallion, 15th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division at Fort Benning, Ga.
