January 17, 2004The Iraqi 500
As of today, we've lost 500 soldiers in Iraq since the invasion began March 20--most of them having died after Bush called an end to major fighting on May 1.
But I guess 500 lives is the price we had to pay in order to apprehend the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks, right?
What? The mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks was Osama bin Laden? Didn't we nab him a few weeks ago? No? That was Saddam Hussein? Oh, okay.
I guess 500 lives is the price we had to pay in order to apprehend a leader who had all manner of WMD in his possession.
What? They still haven't found any WMD in Iraq? No? We haven't found anything? And Bush's military advisors think it doesn't matter? Oh, okay.
Um, does anybody want to be a real pal and tell me what those 500 soldiers died for us to accomplish? I must not be a true-blue American citizen, because try as I might, I just can't remember the rationale.

CommentsWhy, they died so Halliburton could make an assload of money off of cheap Iraqi oil, of course.
Everybody who owns an SUV, please hang your head in shame now.
