Idiot, why is the Dumbyasshole sending 12,500 troops to Iraq nearly four YEARS after he invaded it? To teach English to Iraqi kids in their (non-existent) schools? What a moron!

The "Dumbyasscalation" mess has just begun : "The AP has confirmed that the U.S. military lied about the deaths of five troops in an attack at the governor's office in Karbala last week. In a written statement, the U.S. command reported at the time that five soldiers were killed while "repelling the attack." Now, two senior U.S. military officials as well as Iraqi officials say four of the five were captured and taken from the governor's compound alive. Three of them were found dead and one mortally wounded later that evening in locations as far as 25 miles east of the governor's office. The U.S. officials said they could not be sure where the soldiers were shot after being captured at the compound. Iraqi officials said they believe the men were killed just before the Suburbans were abandoned. . . . The new information has emerged after nearly a week of inquiries. The U.S. military in Baghdad repeatedly declined comment on reports that began emerging from Iraqi government and military officials which suggested a major breakdown in security at Karbala site. The two senior American military officials now confirm the reports, gathered by The Associated Press from five senior Iraqi government, military and religious leaders. The U.S. military also has provided additional details from internal military accounts. Presumably the nightmarish end the soldiers faced might put a bit of a damper on the prospect of sending even more troops into Iraq. Another incident to add to Senator Levin's growing list of oversight hearings." -----
