I can't stand much of what the mainstream media has on offer and I could die happy without seeing another damn car commercial or station logo.

`Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall:
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King's horses and all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty Dumpty in his place again.'


Please Furious George....spare me the false outrage. He is upset by the pictures of the torture, not the torture itself. He is aware we ordered the torture.

Suppose a few pictures of the sort of "torture" which our cluster bombs inflict upon civilian children were blast across the media? Yesterday, a nameless eight month old child was slain by an coalition air strike. What would be the reaction to that child's post-mortem picture on the news? Or to the 34 Iraqi killed after the troops called mom on mothers day? Such a vengeful Christian nation....

So, for one day, the media was not a piano player in BushInc's. whorehouse. War is Hell. Violent immoral acts are commonplace in every war and the world knows it.

Everyone in the senate and everyone in the house who voted for and supported this invasion and occupation endorsed that Hell - misled by BushCo. or not. But what can I say of the war, that the soldiers are not already saying:

"Top U.S. Military Leaders: U.S. Losing War in Iraq"

The Washington Post is reporting that top U.S. military leaders in Iraq are admitting publicly for the first time that the U.S. may be losing the war in Iraq.
The commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, Army Major General Charles Swannack, told the Post the US. is winning on a tactical level but losing strategically.

Army Colonel Paul Hughes, who is involved in formulating Iraq policy, compared Iraq to Vietnam. He told the Post "I lost my brother in Vietnam. I promised myself, when I came on active duty, that I would do everything in my power to prevent that [sort of strategic loss] from happening again. Here I am, 30 years later, thinking we will win every fight and lose the war, because we don't understand the war we're in."

Another senior general at the Pentagon said, "It is doubtful we can go on much longer like this. The American people may not stand for it -- and they should not."

Republican Senator Chuck Hagel also raised questions Sunday on Face the Nation about whether the US was losing.

He said, "I think we are right on the edge in Iraq right now... I think it's still in question whether Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld and, quite frankly, General Myers, can command the respect and the trust and the confidence of the military of the American people to lead this country."

Army Times Calls for Rumsfeld's Resignation

The civilian military publication Army Times is planning to run an editorial today saying that Rumsfeld and Myers should possibly resign for their role in the growing Iraqi prison abuse scandal. The paper said Rumsfeld and Myers are responsible for "a failure that amounts to professional negligence" and that "accountability is essential, even if that means relieving top leaders from duty in a time of war," - Link

Meanwhile, BushCo's tar baby war rages on. Sadr's gang will fight to the death, it does appear.
