The A Team war
Thats what we're in right now. If you're old enough you'll remember the old seventies tv show about a team of specialist outcasts who always could make a weapon of anything at hand. On every show they would fire off about a million rounds of ammo and nobody died, maybe the bad guys got bummed up a little bit, maybe.

Now here we are in a full blown war, the casualty numbers creep up, we're at 796 according to Lunaville, the thing is though if you read the headlines, every day we just kill the fuck out of brown people, and no Americans die.

Except two or three quietly every day, unless the numbers come in double digits nobody notices, I'm putting on my tin foil, I just can't see how this is happening. Are the Iraqis such bad shots suddenly that we are'nt taking casualties, we're involved in some nasty nasty urban warfare right now, in their home turf.

I just get the feeling that there is a big fucking freezer full of bodies, hidden, out of sight out of mind. If they lied to get us into this mess, what else are they lying about?

1. What didn't they lie about?
If Bush is talking he is lying! Read his lips! Cosmetic Warfare is a political tool of the Bushco propaganda minister! KKKarl needed a War to win control of the Senate in 2002 and he even said the war would be good for Bush and the other GOPers politically! They never counted on this turning into a real war! They thought the people in Iraq would just play dead like they do on the A team shows!

2. well, we do have body armor and massive firepower, night scopes etc.

so I'm sure we are killing lots more of them than they are of us... doesn't seem to require a conspiracy, although I don't doubt that lots of spin is being applied. Do they count wounded soldiers who may die later, for example? It's a tragic and f'd up situation as it is, and I'm more puzzled that folks aren't more outraged about the lies that got us here.
