Taking a break from the local soap opera and election news for a minute, over a hundred American soldiers were killed in Iraq this month and the Brits are evacuating their consulate in Basra (and the generals are pissed about it). No mention of the latter story in the major American networks. This as the Shiite coalition is falling apart as pro-Iranian militias take over entire towns and possibly cities.
Can we call it a “civil war” yet?

You can’t complain about the war in Iraq Eric, afterall Bush was voted in twice so everything he does is OK, just like Gag’s ?! right?

The only people who aren’t calling it a civil war are the Bush administration and its supporters.

Can’t escape your flawless logic anon. I voted for Gallegos, so I have no right to oppose the Iraq war. Got it.

Well, Bush did win at least one election. That entitles him to the presidency.
So what are you looking for?

Bush might have won those Governor elections in Texas, but he definitely stole 2000 and 2004. And I hate Gore and Kerry even more, but it’s true.
