IRAQ: THE LOST YEARS

defrogIn case some of you missed it, here’s what happened seven years ago Friday (March 19).
Here’s how that went, if yr wondering.
I don't know about you, but I like that question mark where Bush’s picture is supposed to be.
SPECIAL COMMENTARY: I mention this because apparently a lot of people missed it.
Which is ironic, considering how much popular support the Bush Posse actually had for the war. 4400 dead US soldiers, 100,000 dead Iraqi civilians and $3 trillion later, you’d think everyone who supported it would have the common courtesy to remember the goddamn day it started.
But then I gather that many of the same people think the war ended when Bush said it did on May 1, 2003, so it’s technically ancient history, and who bothers to remember that?
Or maybe I’m thinking of the people who think the Iraq war started on 9/11/01, not 3/19/03. That could be it.
Anyway, happy anniversary, armchair warmongers. Hope yr war is everything you dreamed it would be.
Shock’n’awe,
This is dF
