How Do You Think Bush Will Try and Spin These Deaths?

Or will they just let the military try and handle it?

Here the adm. was just crowing like crazy about al-Aarqawi and now they have a ton of new attacks and the barbaric torture of soldiers to try and explain. Plus an irate and grieving uncle saying that his nephew died because this adm. didn't have a plan.

And the memo from the Iraqi Ambassador about the mess that is actually Iraq - unlike the Bushworld Iraq.

Spin spin, spin. I can hardly wait.

1. He doesn't need to.

They ARE the spin. So much for Kerry's proposal.

so that they will not have died in Vain...

Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men,
Uncle Sam needs your help again.
He's got himself in a terrible flak
Way down yonder in I-raq
So put down your books and pick up a gun,
We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.

3. Proof that we need to stay the course.

That is if he mentions them at all, which I doubt,

5. One way he definitely won't:

"Even al-Qaeda uses torture as a legitimate intelligence-gathering tool." :crazy:

7. They are just numbers?

Pardon my cynicism but Snow said that last week about the 2500 mark. So add two more to the figure. THey only care because high profile deaths like this really put them on the defensive. They have to spin this because occurrences like these just make more people opposed to our involvement there.

This is proof that the terrorists are desperate?

This is proof that we are witnessing the last throes of the insurgency?

This is proof why we should not cut and run?

Or combination of the above.

Of course this wouldn't have happened if we hadn't been there in the first place...

I am sickened by this.
