Want a quick way to get out soldiers out of Iraq?
Put Shrub and his Codpiece, Cheenie, Rumsy, Condaleeza, in a humvee and let them take a ride down a street in Bagdad...I didn't mention Powell, because this dude is smart...

Powell flew from Kuwait aboard a C-130 transport plane, arriving midmorning. He posed for photographers with about 20 U.S. troops at Baghdad International Airport and then went by helicopter to Baghdad, avoiding a road that has been the scene of occasional sniper attacks.

The true scale of American casualties in Iraq is revealed today by new figures obtained by The Observer, which show that more than 6,000 American servicemen have been evacuated for medical reasons since the beginning of the war, including more than 1,500 American soldiers who have been wounded, many seriously.
The figures will shock many Americans, who believe that casualties in the war in Iraq have been relatively light. Recent polls show that support for President George Bush and his administration's policy in Iraq has been slipping. |
