Wow, Did Cheney Get It Wrong With How "Remarkably Well" Things Are In Iraq
The news from Iraq this morning certainly counters the spin from Cheney.

Why does anyone listen to this man. People did anticipate the level of violence, counter to what Cheney said. The insurgency is not in its last throes, counter to what Cheney said.

Now, Al-Sadr's militia has comandeered a city this morning, for pete's sake.

2. That's not even the half of it! Millions of barrels of Iraqi oil are ...
being pumped and stolen while no one meters the output. Those Halliburton contracts are peanuts in comparison.

5. Enjoy it while it lasts...
OPEC is getting ready to "cut production" again. We'll pay in spades for this after the election.

Who wants to bet there will be a "crisis" in oil supply come late November?

6. The Stock Market Boom and Gas Price Drop are so very telling...
I'm now 100% convinced the markets are controlled for political purposes.

7. But the Badr militia is anti-Sunni, and anti-Baathist.
That makes them the good guys.

Right?

You know, right/wrong, black/white is real hard when there are fifteen sides to a conflict.
