Iraq: "social breakdown" evident, USAid says
How long now till the Bushite dead-enders start calling for the abolition of the US Agency for International Development and start attacking the patriotism of its officials?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,1688730,00.html

An official assessment drawn up by the US foreign aid agency depicts the security situation in Iraq as dire, amounting to a "social breakdown" in which criminals have "almost free rein".

The "conflict assessment" is an attachment to an invitation to contractors to bid on a project rehabilitating Iraqi cities published earlier this month by the US Agency for International Development (USAid).

The picture it paints is not only darker than the optimistic accounts from the White House and the Pentagon, it also gives a more complex profile of the insurgency than the straightforward "rejectionists, Saddamists and terrorists" described by George Bush.

1. We must declare war on USAID!!!
It's got AIDS right there in their name. In fact, USAID wants to give AID-S to U.
So the fact that liberal Democrats would now be heard parroting the lies spread by this freedom hating AIDS group that runs around telling tales out of class to foreign newspapers about our liberation of the oppressed people of Iraq is just more proof that Lieberals are all balldeep in a conspiracy to commit treason and germ warfare against the United States!

3. A Republican Friend of mine's son

Says that the US should have gotten the hell out after Saddam was captured.

He says that now the country is just ripe for civil war.

He was gung ho when he went.

He went to NO after Hurricane Katrina, pResident * went there and shook his hand and said "good job Mr. XXXXX" my friend's son said, "sorry sir, it's Specialist XXXXXX.
