Since Wed. 200 found tortured to death in Baghdad. What do you call that?
What do you call it when two hundred people are found tortured to death around Baghdad in 5 days? Do you call that chaos? Or do you call it success like the neo cons do?

while the ape stands there and talks about how wonderfully democracy is going over there, we keep hearing that people are stacking up like cord wood, with holes drilled into their skulls. What do you call that? Can you call it progress?

Most folks here at home don't even realize that two hundred people have been found tortured to death around Baghdad, they are just happy that gas has gone down a whole buck in a month.

How many people have been found tortured to death around Baghdad SINCE THE ELECTIONS there? I'm asking, who has the number? Its a grim statistic, and a shocking one, but republicans still whine about how the dirty liberal media never shows all the really good thing going on over there.

And since we're not allowed to call it a civil war, what DO you call it?

4. A Hellhole
That's what I call it. Hellhole designed by BushCo. Everything they touch turns to merde.

200 people. Damn. I'm so worried about Riverbend.

9. Barbarism
Iraqis that do this type of killing are barbarians. Call this a Civil War, Chaos or Anarchy. Whatever it is this is a result of an Illegal Invasion of a Sovereign Nation that was no threat to America.

25. I feel exactly like you do
If anyone doesn't like Philosoraptor's posts they should find somewhere else to hang out. They won't be missed. That is for sure.

22. Our great leader said, we shouldn't discuss techniques
as he explained to Matt Lauer exactly a week ago. Waterboarding isn't torture, it's a legal, shouldn't be discussed means of obtaining data to protect Americans from torture. Why ? Because what is human dignity ? That's a vague term, human dignity.

We wouldn't want to give the enemy any ideas as to our techniques which seem eerily similar to what is going on over there.

200 dead Iraqis is simply a sign of success. You must remember Neo-cons see the world through Social Darwinism. The fat is being trimmed, the unworthy are purged. Don't look at the technique, just look at the success.

Well if the great leader and company won't allow us to call it Civil War (as blatantly obvious as it is) then we can call it one of two things...Growing Pains as Secretarian Violence is used to resolve differences or The New Home of Terror, as terrorists have taken over the country and thus legitimize our military presence.

End of Sarcastic Satire.
