IRAQ NEVER HAPPENED!!!

[Bluebear]

'Which brings us to the second talking point last week. Iraq never happened. I swear to you, this war and its disastrous aftermath never happened is the new official line. Down the memory hole. Never happened. You dreamed the whole thing. Iraq is now like Ken Lay and Chalabi. They never heard of it. Only met it once. Besides, Iraq contributed to their opponents.

According to The New York Times, "several Republicans," presumably speaking for the Bush campaign, noted that American casualties in Iraq are down from last month. Actually, that is quite untrue. Forty-two Americans were killed in Iraq in June, presumed to be an unusually bloody month because it was leading up to the big handover of sovereignty. As of July 21, 43 more Americans have been killed in Iraq, with 10 days still to go in the month.

Total number of Americans killed so far is 901, but the new line is: What War? We turned it over to the Iraqis, see? Presto, it disappears, just like magic. It's their problem now. Doesn't have anything to do with us. Bush is out campaigning by calling himself "the peace president." Honest. "He repeated the words 'peace' or 'peaceful' many times, as he had done increasingly in his recent appearances," reported The New York Times from Iowa this week.

Watch the media compliantly take up this line. Truly fascinating. We're also getting a new round of "9-11 was all Clinton's fault anyway." I don't think this one will work for the R's. It's kind of pitiful, after four years, to still go around saying, "It's all Clinton's fault."

1. We are not at war with Eurasia...

We have never been at war with Eurasia.

Support the war in Eurasia.

[merh]

2. Some one better let the troops know. This will be a surprise to the

troops and their families.

3. The junta prohibited photos of flag draped coffins but there are still

dead and their families, friends, neighbors all know it. Chicken hawls think it doesn't exist if there are no photos?!?

Somebody at Dover should start sending those boxes to where they will get noticed. Or make dupes. For each one that gets sent to some town for burial, another, filled with something bad, gets sent to the undisclosed bunker located near Camp David, on open flatbeds and by way of some major highways.

This pretend it doesn't exist shit needs to stop. Seems half the nation is suffering some form of delusion and it isn't good for the world.

6. Maybe for now...

But as soon as Kerry comes in, it'll be a "war" again, and "more Americans than ever" will be dying...
