November in Iraq starts off with a "Bird Colonel" becoming a KIA.

Add that with the 7 troops that died yesterday and the beat goes on.
Yet, bush flies down and stands before those brave troops last friday
and mouths platitudes about honoring the fallen by completing the mission.

When are the lies going to stop?

We have 150,000 troops in a country of 26,000,000 and according
to recent British poll less then 1% of the Iraqis see outside forces as
helping in the security of the country. I support and honor the troops
but they have zero chance of completing bush's insane idea of spreading
democracy and building an independent Iraqi military that is also an ally to us.

1. Is that another col. or the one killed last week?

If it's a casualty from last week why do they keep reporting it.

2. I don't know .....

I just heard it on CNN radio news this AM. I think it is a new one
and to date the highest ranking member of the military to die in Iraq.

I wish Rummy, Kristol, Wolfie, Cheney, Libby, Bush, or any other
bastard who was so "hot" to get us into there would get a chance
to get a tour of duty over in Iraq.

3. That sounds a lot like a report from yesterday that named

a col. who actually died last week.

4. Either way it is a waste and I see no end in sight.

If only W had read his dad's book that said what a bad idea it was
to become an army of occupation in Iraq.
