Political violence surges in iraq - two-day toll reaches 100;third charter deadline missed - baghdad, aug. 26 -- political violence surged thursday along many of iraq's ethnic and sectarian fault lines, while shiite and sunni arab political leaders haggled past a third deadline without reaching accord on a draft constitution.
Last summer's statement by awol that we can't win the war on terror has been demonstrated to be true, and therefore, has become inoperative. By win, we now mean, exploit U.S. casualties to justify the unconstitutional expansion of executive power. And if most of the U.S. casualties come from blue states - hey what's awol's supposed to do? It's not like he can refuse to count them, like they were iraqi casualties - or Democratic ballots, or anything.
Bush has lost the war in Iraq. Our continued presence in Iraq only increases the possibility of civil war and extensive casualties among u.s. forces and the civilian population.
