George W. Bush equates Iraq troops to a comma.

Tue Oct 31, 2006

"I like to tell people when the final history is written on Iraq, it will look like just a comma because there is -- " --George W. Bush, interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Sept. 24, 2006

John McCain calls on Bush to apologize:

"Commas may be good for punctuation, but they've never defended our freedom. President Bush owes an apology to the many thousands of Americans serving in Iraq, none of them who are commas. Americans from all backgrounds, unlike commas, take seriously their duty to our country, and risk their lives today to defend the rest of us.

The suggestion that those in Iraq are just a comma is an insult to every soldier serving in combat, and should deeply offend any American with an ounce of appreciation for what they suffer and risk."

Dennis Hastert also rebuked President Bush:

Bush equated 2,813 dead soldiers to a comma.

Okay....now tell me, which is worse?

Minimizing the deaths of 2813 soldiers.....soldiers that are only dead because of this man's stupidity.....or saying that it would be best to get an education because dying in a stupid man's unnecessary war is not the best choice to insure a bright future?

Then again im not the one grasping at any straw that comes along like real wing nuts.

Now if you wing nuts are done playing your tabloid games look at whats really important.







Military Charts Movement of Conflict in Iraq Toward Chaos



WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 — A classified briefing prepared two weeks ago by the United States Central Command portrays Iraq as edging toward chaos, in a chart that the military is using as a barometer of civil conflict.



A one-page slide shown at the Oct. 18 briefing provides a rare glimpse into how the military command that oversees the war is trying to track its trajectory, particularly in terms of sectarian fighting.

The slide includes a color-coded bar chart that is used to illustrate an “Index of Civil Conflict.” It shows a sharp escalation in sectarian violence since the bombing of a Shiite shrine in Samarra in February, and tracks a further worsening this month despite a concerted American push to tamp down the violence in Baghdad.

In fashioning the index, the military is weighing factors like the ineffectual Iraqi police and the dwindling influence of moderate religious and political figures, rather than more traditional military measures such as the enemy’s fighting strength and the control of territory.
