Bloody June in IraqPosted on Jun 21, 2007The U.S. troop surge is topping out in terms of numbers—and, unfortunately, the death toll for American forces and Iraqis is also climbing this month. The BBC reports that 14 U.S. soldiers were reported killed Wednesday and Thursday, and suicide bombings continued to claim lives elsewhere in the country.

Just the positioning of the men in the picture, seems to recall tha locations of the people from that famous photo. It struck me, when I first saw it from a distance. Of course, in the Vietnam War, we were able to see pictures of the wounded and the dead children and adults.

More Iraqi casualties means our boys are doing their jobs, even better than before, and more american casualties means that our boys are forcing the terrists to work harder and use up more ammunition, and pretty soon they’l get tired and need to sleep and they won’t have any more bullets and bombs and IED’s and WMD’s and the light at the end of the tunnel will become so bright, ‘god’s’ light, if you will, that it will show the whole world a peaceful, functioning democracy in Iraq that will be the envy of the whole arab world, and the middle-east muslims and arabs will rejoice and step over the sleeping terrists and join together in a massive ‘THANK YOU, USA’ celebration. ‘Course, there are some things we don’t know we don’t know, and those ‘we don’t know’ things are the ones are the ones that often bite us in the ass, but this situation has ‘success’ written all over it, or my name isn’t Donald ‘Bumfuck’ Rumsfeld.
