DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY IRAQ LIVES ARE BLOWN AWAY

How can a nation survive hundreds slain day by day and thousands alive wracked in pain who will bear the scars of this insane wars until they die? How can their loved-ones dry tearfilled eyes, endure in an insecure hell on earth? How little can life be worth? God knows why! Does He REALLY know or is that cliche just a bald faced lie?

The tragic statistics are unrealistic but real. How can Iraq deal with the dead piled high waiting to rest in a blood drenched land of shifting sand while the men who lit the fuse refuse to choose the only way out? To them, victory is sweet; to admit defeat, to put it mildly, would be indiscrete.

'We must," said Bush, "stay the course even if things get worse." Instead, he should have said:, "I led the way into a war where thousands died because I lied. I tried to turn a dictatorship into a democracy. I failed miserably."

Yet this incompetent president still serves and has the nerve to prolong the dying while trying to increase his rating in the polls. And he'll pull all the dirty tricks of politics to achieve his unbelievable goals.

How many more souls must die, GWB, before you agree to call it quits?
