“Making Progress”

Hey, at least it isn’t Barbara or Jenna, right?
US forces in Iraq suffered more combat deaths in August than any month this year

U.S. forces in Iraq suffered at least 74 combat deaths in August — more than in any month since last November and the third-highest total for any month of the war, according to Pentagon figures.

The total number of U.S. military deaths in August, including those deemed non-hostile, was at least 83, according to figures available Wednesday. That was the highest since 107 in January, when there was an extraordinary 53 accidental deaths for the month, including 30 Marines and a sailor who died in a Jan. 26 helicopter crash.

    The Bush twins died? Too bad they never got to know the joy of holding a job, or living life sober.

    *chokes back a sob*

    Happy? What the hell are you talking about? Did I miss an emoticon?

    Rightwingnut anger is misdirected.

    How is it the Jays and PSUs of the 101st Keyboard Brigade can get so exercised by the printing of facts but ignore the obvious and demonstrable lies told by this admin?

    Mission accomplished? End of major combat operations? Last throes? Greeted as liberators? WMD? Ahmed Chalabi? The war will pay for itself?

    The list goes on and on.

    The real question here is how many times you’ll allow yourself to be duped and lied to.

    It’s not the fact that you point it out that’s bad. It’s the fact that it makes you so obviously happy. Whatever gets you through the day, but it’s pretty pathetic.

    It’s now “scoring political points” to point out factual data? I didnt get that update to my newspeak dictionary.

    Facts are a lib plot to undermine the troops and make Baby Jesus cry, didn’t you get the memo?
