While Americans are all snuggled up to their viewing screens, watching cats flush toilets on YouTube or the latest quasi-celebrity learn how to do the Samba on the ol Idiot Box, American Troops on the front of our great war have engaged in a massive operation to retake the Iraqi Countryside, and bring glory and heroism to the war’s architects.
So far this week, which began with the quiet announcement of a major operation in Central Iraq’s Sunni territories, has claimed 30 American soldiers, 14 in the last 48 hours alone and an unknown number of Iraqi civilians caught in the crossfire. This latest attempt to prove to the world that Bush and Cheney were correct to senselessly and recklessly invade a third world nation has come at a major price, paid in full with American and Iraqi blood.
Just a reminder to those escaping the realities of the world that every day your money is financing the death and destruction of good people, all for a cause that has changed so many times the White House doesn’t even know what for anymore.
May we soon bring an end to this awful tragedy.
