1. Another day, more chaos and carnage. Gotta admit that I can't

see how the 'surge' has made anything any better. But they keep telling us that. They wouldn't be lying, would they???

2. Yes, but we can count on our strack representatives hyper-focusing on "a genocide" which

occurred nearly a century ago, rather than take ASSERTIVE STEPS to end this horrific occupation of a sovereign nation at the brink of civil war. :shrug:

Those boys and girls in Congress have earned that 11% approval rating, aye?
