Iraq verges on civil war
There was a time when proponents of the invasion asked us to judge the war, not by the lack of WMD, but by "results on the ground."
How bad do things have to get before they admit things are fucked up beyond all recognition?
Rest assured that when all out civil war breaks out, if it hasn't already, Bushshit is prepared to blame Iraqis for not being sufficiently interested in running their own country, in stepping up to the plate, in taking on the terrorists, in investing in the future, in freedom itself.
Strategically-minded Dems should immediately disabuse people of this blame-the-victim thinking, and drive home the point that the administration did everything it could to guarantee the perception of occupation rather than liberation.
From never disavowing the establishment of permanent military bases to privatizing the economy, leveling cities and towns as a form of collective punishment, shutting out Iraqis from reconstruction contracts, clamping down on press freedom, installing CIA puppets like Chalabi and Allawi, sanctioning torture, etc. etc. etc., they have done everything in their power to ensure that failure is an option.

Afghanistan students riot against Bush
Why don't they understand that we are flushing Korans down the toilet in Guantanamo Bay so we don't have to battle the terrorists here?
Juan Cole suggests that

Whatever goddam military genius came up with the bright idea of flushing the Koran down the toilet at Guantanamo should be court-martialed, and Bush had better get out there apologizing before this thing spirals further out of control.Bush apologize? You've got to be fucking kidding.

U.S. ordered bin Laden beheaded
Former CIA officer Gary Schroen, on Sunday's Meet the Press:
Your follow-up question should have been: "But wait, I thought only the BAD GUYS beheaded people. What will we tell the children?"
Where indeed, Mr. Russert, you inane whore.MR. RUSSERT: Mr. [Cofer] Black gave you specific instructions on what he wanted you to bring home.
MR. SCHROEN: That's true. He did ask that once we got bin Laden and killed him, that we send his head back in a cardboard box on dry ice so that he could take it down and show the president.
MR. RUSSERT: Where would you find the dry ice in Afghanistan?
