oh wait....5 in two days actually raises the rate of US Soldier deaths. gonna have to go back to the drawing board on this one, eh?

I think Bush's economic team will get out there and encourage US unemployed people to go ahead and settle for that burger king job, tell people in deep debt to stay away from bankruptcy option, and in general tell people to max themselves out in credit, 2nd mortgages.

Of course, they will say this in front of posterboard declaring words like "Financial Patriotism" "you can't be upwardly mobile but your money can"

2. ShrubCo responded to the continuing US troop deaths...

...by eliminating Hussein's progeny and announced the deaths would abate. If they don't and this blows up in their face, they have only themselves to blame.

The Iraqis (and bin Laden, for that matter) are not stupid. They know Shrub is entering a period of high vulnerability because of the 2004 ballot. I predict the bloodshed will continue in even greater amounts in the months ahead.

5. Did you see General GOP Shit Face on CNN say, 'Now that we've killed the
Edited on Thu Jul-24-03 02:31 AM by dArKeR
sons we might see a spike in attacks.' How do these shit faces get away with saying things like this? Don't any mothers and fathers get pissed off at this GOP bullshit talk? These are our children's lives they're talking about! My son and daughter are going to die. You talk about them like lifeless statistics and machines. Eat shit General Phuck Face!

I can't believe Americans are this stupid! I can't believe mothers and fathers aren't pounding on their floors to get their children home and the GOP in jail.

(I really have no idea of the Generals name. Gray crew cut, desert camouflage, 48-50. I'm not sure if it was Cencom or what. Why is this Shit Face wearing camouflage? I guarantee he's never going to risk his life for anyone! He's got a wife and kids and he'd never put himself in the line of fire. That's only for non-GOP children.

6. Honestly...
the only thingthat will stop the killing of US soldiers in Iraq is a huge tax cut to the richest 1%. I can't believe they haven't thought of it...

7. Saddam has about 25 sons father from various women. I guessing
but it's probably very accurate. I have a few very low level friends in Asia and I personally know of muliple children from mulitple wives. I'm sure on this. Wether it comes out in week, years or never I'm sure of it. This is acceptable in their culture.

9. NOT!
Bush has an extreme aversion to this very simple tenet: No talk and ALL action.

10. It's going to get worse not better because they are dead..
The only reason people had to support the US was fear of them coming back.
