Another Day, Another Lie

Remember when Rumsfeld said there were no plans or even discussions of renewing the draft? Turns out that was just one more Republican lie.

Wow - even though the military has met it's recruiting goals yet again (the Army for the 13th consecutive month) Rolling Stone considers its readers that gullible.

The Left wants to believe Amerikka is the sort of place where young men are dragged kicking and screaming out of their mother's basement to serve in unjust wars for oil. They are too sharp to be fooled by the fact that it ain't happenin' - they know that's just a cover up, dude.

And here's a raging antisemite named Cohen, arguing that Israel's existence is a mistake. His word, not mine.

Afghanistan Slipping Back Toward Taliban Control

Gee, whose fault is this? Not even Cindy Sheehan has protested that war. One thing we can be sure of is that the Liar-in-Chief will find someone else to blame his failure on.

The Failure Chronicles: Iraq Civil War

Yup, the insurgency is in its last throes, alright.

Excerpt:

The most powerful military force in Baghdad today is the radical Shiite cleric Moqatada Sadr’s Mehdi Army militia. With an estimated 15,000-20,000 men under arms, the Mehdi Army outnumbers the government’s military and security forces’ strength in the capital. ...

... the fortified Green Zone, nerve center of the Iraqi government and high command, and seat of the US embassy and military headquarters, goes on functioning calmly in the eye of the storm of civil warfare and apparently divorced from its violent currents. However, intelligence sources estimate that, after the bloody struggle is decided, the Green Zone will find itself held to siege by the winning side.

That's when the U.S. will evacuate by helicopter. Not right away, mind you. But it's coming. So, wingnuts, who're you gonna blame? Cindy Sheehan> Hillary? The New York Times?

Psst ... Afghanistan Is Falling Apart

Excerpt:

The most senior British military commander in Afghanistan today described the situation in the country as "close to anarchy" with feuding foreign agencies and unethical private security companies compounding problems caused by local corruption.

The stark warning came from Lieutenant General David Richards, head of Nato's international security force in Afghanistan, who warned that western forces there were short of equipment and were "running out of time" if they were going to meet the expectations of the Afghan people.

Yep, we're doomed. Willy has reached 6 links on this open post alone. The very Angel of the Shadow of Death has descended on us, and our lives are due to be extinguished very soon by the God of Stupid Pundit Tricks.

The very Earth trembles at its advance.

In fact, some 2,500 American lives have been extinguished and another 10,000 or so have been permanently altered. But hey, subby, they're jjust matchsticks, right! Who cares about them anyway? The Liar-in-Chief has 'em shipped home, dead or alive, in the middle of the night so no one will pay any attention. Least of all you.

Have another drink or four. You deserve it.

You must not know me very well, Willy. It is your death which would have no meaning for me. My soldiers' sacrifice against Islamic fascism will always have meaning. Nothing you say could ever affect that. But rattle on all you want.

You may try to paint veterans as uncaring, unfeeling robots for the Bush administration. But we know the face of the enemies of Freedom and Peace. And we're pretty sure your picture is in the lineup, boy.

Pontificate on, lunatic. We are all enjoying watching you self destruct. It educates us in enemy target recognition. And gives us a laugh for the day.
