This Is What Happens When America Stops Caring

A series of blasts in Baghdad killed 95 and wounded 536 yesterday.
In Iraq’s bloodiest day this year, home forces accepted blame for the security breach after U.S. troops withdrew from urban centres in June.
At least six blasts struck near government ministries and other targets at the heart of Iraq’s Shi’ite-led administration.
Analysts said the co-ordinated attacks were a message ‘to show the world the insurgents are still there’.
Major General Qassim al-Moussawi, Baghdad’s security spokesman, told Iraqi TV: ‘This operation shows negligence, and is considered a security breach for which Iraqi forces must take most of the blame.’
The Iraqi government said this month that most of the city’s blast walls would be removed within 40 days, a sign of confidence in its security forces before elections in January.
This administration said “Peace Now!” for the past 8 years, which really means “Screw the Iraqi people; we have an election to win!”
I guess this is what “peace” looks like to them.
Probably too busy being “winners” to notice.

This would be an important story if the president had an (R) after his name. But our new and improved potus is too busy destroying the futures of American children to be bothered.

This is clearly Bush’s fault. Had he used his crushing boot heel to seize a third term, our troops would not have withdrawn this year. Instead he abandoned the Iraqi people based on the directives of a “deeply flawed” Constitution that mandates only two terms for a President.
