Good news from Iraq!

there has been a dramatic drop in sectarian violence in Iraq since President Bush began sending more American troops into Baghdad

YAAAAAY

Oh no wait, here's the full version...

U.S. officials who say there has been a dramatic drop in sectarian violence in Iraq since President Bush began sending more American troops into Baghdad aren't counting one of the main killers of Iraqi civilians.

Say what?

Car bombs and other explosive devices have killed thousands of Iraqis in the past three years, but the administration doesn't include them in the casualty counts it has been citing as evidence that the surge of additional U.S. forces is beginning to defuse tensions between Shiite and Sunni Muslims.

And the logic behind this?

President Bush explained why in a television interview Tuesday. "If the standard of success is no car bombings or suicide bombings, we have just handed those who commit suicide bombings a huge victory," he told TV interviewer Charlie Rose.

"Albeit nurtured in democracy,
And liking best that state republican
Where every man is Kinglike and no man
Is crowned above his fellows, yet I see,
Spite of this modern fret for Liberty,
Better the rule of One, whom all obey,
Than to let clamorous demagogues betray
Our freedom with the kiss of anarchy..."

Re: Good news from Iraq!

that's awesome!

Counting all the dead people from car bombs is just what the enemy wants us to do! Anyone who wants to include those in the death toll clearly Hates Freedom and want Al Quaeda to win!

I am now convinced that there really is absolutely no level beneath which this slimey administration would even hesitate to stoop.

Right guys because them blowing each other up is a direct effect of us being there WAIT WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST SAY?

Them...blowing EACH OTHER up... yeah because of American troops? I think not. It's because they're fucking insane and we'd be much better off carpetbombing the whole fucking country.

Lemme spell it out for you: first you had this d00d with a fat nose and a moustache who kept the shit under control, right? And then you had this d00d fucking the shit up in order to usher the light of other shit, right? But this second d00d didn't have his shit together and now other d00ds are blowing shit up. Savvy or do I have to let this shit run by you a second time?

Yeah, if by control, you mean keeping shit under control by killing the fucking opposition, then yes, he was keeping shit under control. Despite the fact he killed the fucking president of Iraq and usurped his power and then ruled with a completely iron fist and basically made people erect statues of him in his quote unquote honor.

Seriously move to America. BBC is biased as fuck. And in America the news media is liberal as hell. BBC is just skewed.

Yeah I agree Bush is a fucking asshole but I think that actually trying to save Iraq instead of letting it turn into a fucking mysogonist dungeon is a good idea. Sure Bush went about it kinda wacky but I can't think of anything better other than killing everyone there which is incredibly morbid...
