BAGHDAD, Iraq - The U.S. military recovered the bodies Tuesday of two missing soldiers from an area it said was rigged with explosives. An Iraqi official said the Americans were tortured and killed in a "barbaric" way."
Yeah, well this is a surprise, given that we tortured Iraquis and killed their number two guy because...?
These children, and they were in their twenties I understand, had mothers who labored as hard as they've ever labored in their lives to give birth to them. Who stayed up late with them when they were sick and who patiently answered their questions when they were three.
I can't imagine what it would do to me to read that my son or grandson had been tortured and then booby-trapped. I can't imagine. But Mother of God, can we please admit that Iraq is a clusterfuck of cosmic proportions and pull our children the fuck out of there? Now? Please? Whose political career did these children die to save?

Are you trying to disallow the President the opportunity to create in Iraq a new and family friendly Branson like entertainment and religious center" Poppa Abraham's Holyland BatttleZone"? Where you can partake in amusements like Stone That Whore, Burn The Queer,and for the more athletic Stormin' Into Babylon where you can wear the actual equipment of the many imperial armies that have done just that-from the ancient Persians,Macedonian- Greeks,Romans,Byzantines to those evil jihadists Ayrabs,Turks and pagan Mongols to the present day. The fact that many of those empires are gone or the homelands reduced in power and status shouldn't be seen as a portent of anything.
Took my daughters to a Solstice treat this afternoon - movie - Lake House.
Usual commercials prior to movie. One of them was for the National Guard.
"Save Hurricane Victims. Work in Your Community. Protect Your Country on the Home Front. Earn Money For College. Plan for Your Future."
In the moment of silence following the spot, I shouted "Get Measured for a Coffin!"
My daughters wanted to die on the spot. But the theatre wasn't crowded, and I wasn't mugged on the way out.
