16 US Soldiers killed since Bush's "We're kicking ass!" remark

http://yournewreality.blogspot.com/2007/09/bush-on-iraq-were-kicking-ass-president.html

<snip>

But President Bush is clearly feeling confident regarding the Iraq War. How confident?

When Bush arrived in Australia last night, he was greeted at the airport by deputy prime minister Mark Vaile. Having just flown in from Iraq, Bush was asked how things were going over there.

Bush grinned, "We're kicking ass!"

2. Nah. That was in a league of its own.
Saying "we're killin' ragheads!" is stupid and juvenile. Saying, "Yeah, you wanna attack soldiers? Come on and do it! I dare ya!" is literally inviting Iraqis to attack Americans.

11. It's so hard to read "name not released"
It's like your heart stops until logic kicks in and say "you would know by now"

13. You can say that again...

US NAME NOT RELEASED YET Al Anbar Province Hostile - hostile fire
US NAME NOT RELEASED YET Al Anbar Province Hostile - hostile fire
US NAME NOT RELEASED YET Al Anbar Province Hostile - hostile fire
US NAME NOT RELEASED YET Al Anbar Province Hostile - hostile fire


My brother is in Al Anbar. I think he's in Ramadi right now, but nobody is sure.


"It's like your heart stops until logic kicks in and say "you would know by now"

I haven't heard from my brother for more than a month. For all I know, he's one of these four dead...

12. Bush moves Iraq report from due 9/15 to 9-11 for maximum impact, how
bad it is when your president fudges war report to suit his own agenda. After he bombs Iran he will then explain to the American people why he had to do it and take no questions afterwards.
Enjoy those SUV's while you can...
