Sad Milestone Reached

The number of brave Americans who have died fighting Bush’s so-called “war on terror” has now surpassed the number of civilians who died on 9/11. And still, the only line we hear from this administration is “stay the course.” Yes, those were Bush’s exact words from last Thursday: “”If we leave the streets of Baghdad before the job is done, we will have to face the terrorists in our own cities. We will stay the course, we will help this young Iraqi democracy succeed, and victory in Iraq will be a major ideological triumph in the struggle of the 21st century.”

It didn’t have to be this way.
