There you go, slicing and dicing aimlessly. Simply stated, the Iraqi resistance exists because the land is occupied by invaders. And regardless of what you or your hero Dumbya or his puppet Gen. Casey say, the resistance will exist as long as the invaders are there. Btw, I wanted to ask you an unrelated question - Was the foreword to Bill Bennett's "Book of Virtues" written by a guy called Rush Limbaugh? :-) :-)

The gluttonous villain Dumbya gets one more soldier killed. More progress in his "LIE AND LET DIE!" tragedy. 27-Jun-2006 US NAME NOT RELEASED YET Baghdad (north of) Hostile - hostile fire - IED attack Dumbya's toll for this month so far? 55. Maybe for a shameless Dumbya worshipper like you that is "not enough", but for the rest of us, it is 55 deaths too many. GTFO of Iraq. Now!

You might be pleased to know that Dumbya just had one more for lunch. His Iraq toll for June is now 56. I know, I know, it is "not enough" for you, but...

From an article about the 23-point memo sent by US ambassador in Iraq, Khalilzad (himself a PNAC neocon) to the Mushroom Queen : Point 2: "Two of our three female employees report stepped up harassment beginning in mid-May. One, a Shia who favors Western clothing, was advised by an unknown woman in her Baghdad neighborhood to wear a veil and not to drive her own car. She said some groups are pushing women to cover even their face, a step not taken in Iran even at its most conservative." Point 7 noted that "Temperatures in Baghdad have already reached 115 degrees. Employees all confirm that, by the last week of May, they were getting one hour of power for every six hours without." Point 18 referred to an embassy employee who finds himself going to a funeral "every evening." Point 21: "Personal safety depends on good relations with 'neighborhood' governments, who barricade streets and ward off outsiders. People no longer trust most neighbors." Taken as a whole, the memo added up to a complete refutation of the Bush administration's assertions regarding progress in Iraq. I expected to wake up the next morning and see the memo on the front page of every newspaper in America. And then: nothing. Other than a few mentions in editorials, the memo faded from sight. The only meaningful coverage of it was in the British newspapers.

Did Casey tell Bush-Cheney to stop lying about the war by ignoring reality and replacing it with simplistic, feel-good slogans like "we won't quit until we achieve victory"?, "the insurgency in in its last throes" Or "when they stand up will we stand down"? BTW, the Iraqis stood up a year ago, when is Bush going to give our troops a break and get them out of that quicksand?

Dumbya's partner in bringing "democracy" to the Middle-East - Bloodthirsty dictator Karimov (Uzbekistan). (March 7, 2002) President Islam Abduganievich Karimov was born in 1938 in the silk-road city of Samarkand. Raised in a Soviet orphanage, Karimov went on to study engineering and economics. He came to power as First Secretary of the Communist Party of Uzbekistan in 1989 and was named president of the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic in 1990. Shortly after Uzbekistan's independence in 1991, President Karimov declared victory in the new state's seriously marred first presidential election. He extended his term in office through a plebiscite in 1995. President Karimov was re-elected for what was supposed to be his final five-year term in 2000. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) declined to send observers to that presidential vote after determining that the election environment allowed no possibility for a genuine contest. U.S. officials announced that the election "was neither free nor fair and offered Uzbekistan's voters no true choice." The State Department also noted that the only candidate ostensibly running against President Karimov announced that he himself had voted for the incumbent president. The Uzbek government held another referendum in January 2002 to extend President Karimov's presidency to 2007 by amending Uzbekistan's constitution to allow for seven-year presidential terms. Here are a few gems from Karimov. It really ought to make Dumbya (and his idiot fans) real proud! "The OSCE focuses only on establishment of democracy, the protection of human rights and the freedom of the press. I am now questioning these values." - President Karimov, after the OSCE criticized the 1999 parliamentary elections. Agence France-Presse, January 8, 2000. "Such people must be shot in the forehead! If necessary, I'll shoot them myself…!" - President Karimov, upon the 1998 adoption of a highly restrictive religion law, warning parliament not to be soft on "Islamic extremists." Many peaceful Muslims have also been rounded up in the sweeps of "fundamentalists." BBC Monitoring report of Uzbek Radio second program, May 1, 1998. "I'm prepared to rip off the heads of 200 people, to sacrifice their lives, in order to save peace and calm in the republic…If my child chose such a path, I myself would rip off his head." - President Karimov reacting to acts of violence in Uzbekistan in March 1999. The government originally blamed the incidents, including a bus hijacking, on "criminals" and later on "Islamic extremists." Agence France-Presse, April 2, 1999.
