NEWS: Happy Birthday, Mission Accomplished!

POLITICS: Happy Birthday, Mission Accomplished!

On May 1, 2003 President Bush flew to the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in a kick ass flight suit. Then he ripped that baby off and hit the podium.

How'd that work out?

U.S. troops killed on May 1, 2003: 139
U.S. troops killed as of today: 2400

and how many Iraqi civilian casualties?
fuck, man.

Of course, I'd like to point out that he didn't fly, he was flown. There's no way that they'd let that <expletive deleted> fly a real military plane.

211 deaths in the coalition operation, excluding the 2401 already.

Around 35,000 Iraqi casualties.

Yaaaaay! Happy birthday!

*blows party horns and throws confetti*

I still think there was a cod piece in his flight suit.

I guess the militants in Iraq are going to celebrate this with roadside bombs and beheadings!

Grimlock is no non-believer! His cock was huge! He gets a hard-on from finishing wars he started!

So, evidently Viagra played a role. A fake erection for a fake climax to a war.

"Thanks to Libidus, the terrorists have lost."

George Bush: Good At Starting & Finishing A War, Really Really Fucking Bad At Everything Else Needed Afterward.

Oh my God- the war was a failure?

Well, hey--that regime IS no more. In fact, pretty much any semblance of a functioning Iraqi regime of any sort is no more.

Mission Accomplished!

35,000 is a lot but a drop in the bucket compared to whats going on in the Sudan. Yet it gets so little converge it is sickening.

does anyone know where to buy the hottest fashions for nuclear winter? i really dont want to be out of style after we shove Iran around a bit...or China for that matter...

But the US isn't directly responsible for the deaths in Sudan. Rather a different case.

It is a different case, but every time I hear the rhetoric about bringing freedom and blah blah to Iraq, I think of this.

The people doing that shit ride camels, literally, they ride into refugee "camps" on camels and kill and rape people looking for firewood.

Nato could put them out of business in a heartbeat, instead, we and the rest of the developed world are doing nothing but put sanctions on four people,

It's already spreading to Chad, it will get worse. It's the next Afghanistan, and we're letting it happen.

I think hadees's comment is right on.

I fail to see how the US being directly responsible for the deaths of 35 000 civilians is = a failure of media coverage in Darfur.

Yes the international community should act in the region. But the only reason to bring up Sudan in this particular thread, it seems to me, is to draw attention away from failures elsewhere.

no, it's to put the lie to us claims to care about promoting freedom and democracy.

I stand corrected.

Lets just say all the above and below opinions and comments dont change the situation at all. And non action from the voting/tax paying commenting sheep is why the murderer calling the shots is getting away with this propaganda fueled crime against humanity......

I'm very surprised the Sudan issue hasn't been discussed more, especially on a website such as this.
We all know Iraq was and is a failure. As necro_star_nine said, us retredding this issue isn't going to help, but it might help trying to push for action on the disasters happening elsewhere in the world, like in Sudan

that figure is completely wrong. the number of Iraqi casualties is far far higher ranging from 100,000 to 200,00 by some estimates. The IBC figure is a massive understatement. It only includes individual deaths that have been reported in the media, it only includes Iraqi Civilians killed as a direct result of U.S. military activities, and it doesn't include the deaths of any Iraqi military personel or of insurgent fighters.
There are reports coming from Iraqi morgues that between 1000 and 2000 dead bodies are being brought into Baghdad alone and most of them show signs of torture and execution. none of these deaths are reported in the media, so they are excluded from their figures, and the IBC figures don't include any numbers for civilians and military killed during the initial invasion when there were massive bombing campaigns hitting major cities and civilian centres in Iraq and doubtlessly killing thousands of people.

this statement is from the Iraqbodycount.net website.
