Republicans, for all their recent talk of being against war without end in Iraq, did their best little Bush-is-our-pal impression by stopping the Senate from moving forward with getting our troops out of Iraq.
I mean, come on, even 60 percent of Military.com readers want our troops out ASAP, so you gotta seriously ask who the GOP really thinks they are speaking for.
As for actually protecting the force, USA Today covered the scandal over the MRAP the other day evan as the Pentagon finally begins to provide our troops the vehicles they've basically been giving the Iraqis for years now.
Speaking of our troops, more and more are getting "moral waivers" to allow them to join despite having criminal records. Moral waivers? Does Bush give himself one every time he lies, cheats, destroys democracy, and sentences another soldier or Marine to death to cover up his deception? If so, he's killing a lot of trees.
The BBC touches on those tasked to inform families that their loved ones have died overseas. It is sad that foreign papers have to confront the fact that our soldiers are dying for Bush. You're damn sure not going to find this on FAUXNews.
Bush even got criticized from high schoolers recently, who asked him to stop torturing people. He, of course, lied to them as well. No respect from the asshat. More here.
Bush compares success in Iraq to modeling it after Israel. That's one way to get the Sunnis and Shi'ites to agree on something, I guess.
Colin Powell is trying to establish some kind of legacy, reminding us that he actually tried to talk Bush out of going to war. That said, all we're going to remember is your evil Gunga-din impression, carrying Bush's water to the UN and lying for your boss (video).
And, strangely enough, he's still backing Bush, as recently as an interview this morning. Yeah, he tries to rehabilitate his image, but all you can really say is that he's loyal to a fault. It isn't enough Colin. Not with all the lives you helped end.
