Is today a "Sky is falling" day
I don't think some here understand, what is about to happen this summer in Iraq will make everything beforehand look like child's play. Get ready for a very violent, very confusing, blood bath.

1. I am very depressed about July 1. This 'handover' is going to be a
train wreck from hell.

5. June 30 Handover
I don't know how it could be any worse than it is now.

If nothing else, Iraq will have to assume some responsibilty for the lawlessness after the handover.

But you're right. I don't expect the violence to diminish at all.

2. I'm looking at the Dow tanking
and i'm wondering whether the big banks are factoring this summer into the equation.

7. I just checked. Down 150 pts.
This won't stop media whores like Kudlow and Kramer from insisting, Wall Street wants Bush to win. :puke:

4. In the middle of Iraqi summer with a disfunctional electrical grid
not that air conditioning is a shallow requirement for peace but alot pissed off Iraqi's with alot of burned out soldiers sounds like a witches brew.

6. Dunno about the sky, but my tears have been falling.

Really rather fascinating.

I have NEVER before, in my entire life, been so distraught about what's going on OUTSIDE my own little life, in the rest of the country and the world, that I actually am crying about it. Until this week.

8. I feel bad for the troops in the heat
it's akin to the north dakota like cold of russia that would defeat invading armies in the wintertime.

maybe bush will do the right thing: handover to SOMEONE on june 30, DECLARE victory, cut and run.

i hope so. the increase in his chance for re-election would be worth our boys coming home.

11. The handover is a sham: The US will still rule with an iron fist
The US will not allow free elections, there will be
no sovereign Iraqi government, the US will control the oil
and continue to privatize the infrastructure, US soldiers will
not leave, US bases will expand. The US will stop 'policing'
those areas that are of no significant value to the
US regime. This will be a horror.

9. The darkest times I have seen
And I am not that young.

Bush has brought down the fire upon us all.
