Yahoo! News - Thousands of Troops Storm Fallujah
Here we go...they expect there will be more casualties in this battle than in any battle of the war so far. I hope this works, because if not Iraq really is a lost cause. Pray for the soldiers and the innocents.
To quote Governor Tarkin: "I'm taking an awful risk, Vader. This had better work."
Senator Kerry calls this a "tragic milestone," and the most catastrophic of the administration's mistakes made so far. Regardless of his mistakenly voting for the war at the time, he's right. For him to turn against the Iraq war is a flip-flop I would be happy with. Hopefully he has an exit strategy, even though he's not telling us about it at the moment.
This is why Bush must be defeated in November. I realize the economy is an important issue, but compared to 1000++ dead soldiers? Come on. Not to mention 7,000++ wounded, and the 11,000++ estimated by the Iraq Body Count . This is a slam dunk, as George Tenet would say.
Prediction: if Bush is [re]elected, the U.S. will engage in pre-emptive war against Iran and/or North Korea. Is that really what we want?
