3 years in Iraq--piece of cake
The Heretik is serving a tantalizing cake to observe the third year of the event in Iraq that is not a war. He points out that in Bush's speech about the three years of something or other leading up to what is definitely not a civil war in Iraq, he never once mentioned the word "war."
We have been here before. The thing in Vietnam was the Vietnam "conflict." Because no matter how many soldiers die, or how many soldiers are wounded, or how many soldiers contract lifetime diseases, or how many families grieve, or how many prisoners are tortured, or how many innocent civilians are left homeless or bombed into smithereens, it isn't really a war unless someone who isn't really president says it is.

I received this disturbing bit of news today (I know they are extreme left, but everything they've reported recently has panned out!):
http://www.legitgov.org/index.html#breaking_news
"Iraqi police report details civilians' executions at hands of U.S. troops 19 Mar 2006 Iraqi police have accused American troops of executing 11 people, including a 75-year-old woman and a 6-month-old infant, in the aftermath of a raid last Wednesday on a house about 60 miles north of Baghdad. The villagers were killed after American troops herded them into a single room of the house, according to a police document obtained by Knight Ridder Newspapers. The soldiers also burned three vehicles, killed the villagers' animals and blew up the house, the document said."

Well, with what we now know about the other secret prison, nothing would surprise me.

This madness has to stop. This weekend in our little piece of heaven, UARK students began a silent protest up and down the busiest street in town. They held signs that said, Impeach Bush, stop the war, stop the torture, and on and on. Most people supported them, but there were some who hurled insults at these peaceful students doing what they could to protest the injusteses of this administration. I wanted to join them, but this was the first time in weeks that I actually got to have my grandsons. I had to pass but I talked to one of the guys and he said they are going to do it again and I gave him my email, I will join them next time.
