quote from a post over at daily kos today:
Mehdi al-Aibi Mansur, a Shi'ite merchant, said he was glad Saddam's era was over, but warned against a U.S. occupation.
"People are no longer afraid," he said. "People will not be afraid to rise up against the Americans."
time for the mass media to stop showing that image of the hussein statue coming down. that was one public square, for god's sake. the 'official' part of the war is not over. and after that you'll have to deal with every iraqi citizen who doesn't like being invaded and occupied, and then the citizens who thought bush said the country would be theirs. but bush forgot to mention how much time that would actually be. and hussein's still at large, as far as we know. the u.s. can't really claim victory. i mean, wasn't saddam the bad guy they were going after? well? shit, man. they still don't have osama. i guess the us forces are good at fighting big video game wars and crushing tiny, tired armies. but they're also pretty good at making the prime monsters run away.
oh, and lest we forget, these two 'foes' were friends of the administration.
and they still haven't 'found' them.
is a pattern forming?
i'm disgusted by the bush administration.
