we print the money, we show no restraint for increasing out debt either, why not fully fund everything?

because if we funded democracy we would not have a civil war.
civil war means we can stay in a war footing from now until the end of time, allowing bush to name his successor.

if uncondition patriotism lasted until the end of the term to the point that anyone he endorsed could basically get easily elected then yeah... but keeping us in there longer now seems to hurt, not help his popularity any more.

I was [...] this close to posting that story the other day. I'm glad to see somebody else hates America enough to do it for me.

81, 76, 50, 49, 43, 25

What are these numbers? This week’s Powerball winners? A safe deposit combo? New numbers to torment those poor b*stards stranded on the island in Lost?

No, they’re the number of troops that have died in hostile actions in Iraq for each of the past six months. That last number represents the lowest level of troop deaths in a year, and second-lowest in two years.

But it must be that the insurgency is turning their assault on Iraqi military and police, who are increasingly taking up the slack, right?

215, 176, 193, 189, 158, 193 (and the three months before that were 304, 282, 233)

Okay, okay, so insurgents aren’t engaging us; they’re turning increasingly to car bombs then, right?

70, 70, 70, 68, 30, 30

Civilians then. They’re just garroting poor civilians.
527, 826, 532, 732, 950, 446 (upper bound, two months before that were 2489 and 1129).

It's amazing what curfews can do to body counts...
