Beyond the White House baloney

Bush, Rumsfeld and Rice continue to look the world in the face and say that things are getting better in Iraq. In the meantime, Dahr Jamail wrote the following in his "Iraq Dispatch" of June 10, 2005:

"Car bombs are a daily occurrence, yet now we have seen motorcycle bombs, push-cart bombs, donkey bombs, donkey-cart bombs, dog bombs, human bombs, bicycle bombs and recently two Iraqi policemen dying from eating poisoned watermelon.

"Roadside bombs continue to take their toll on US soldiers and are now the number one killer of occupation forces. At least 1,679 have died in Iraq since the invasion, along with roughly 100 times as many Iraqis."

(Suggestion: read that last line again, slowly.)
