More Iraq Bad News

I know wingnuts get awfully upset when people fail to dwell on all the wonderful, positive things going on in Iraq (like the fact that despite numerous attempts, nobody has actually managed to kill the US puppet PM Allawi yet) but I'm afraid GI, coalition forces, contractors, and civilians are still dying there with some becoming separated from heads.

Yet Bush has been out steadily saying he did all this to keep America safe (from what, a surplus? sanity?), and to free the Iraqis. I don't think most of them want to be freed from their heads. And women are getting tired of being treated like fifth class citizens when under Saddam, they had nearly equal privileges with men. It took America to make women subservient slaves to the fundamentalists. Some are wearing a birka for the first time in their lives, or being shunned from schools and business for the first time.

Oh wait. Maybe Bush means freedom from their oil reserves. That makes far more sense.
