Oh, Manchester, So Much To Answer For

How pathetically sad is it that "No U.S. Casualties in Iraq for 7 Days" warrants itself as a headline? I guess when Bush's lies and deceit result in, to date, 287 U.S. troops dead, any glimmer of good news is good news. And for the Bush administration to give the rest of the world the middle finger when starting this war-cum-occupation, and then have the gall to go begging to the U.N. just last week ("we need more money and cannon fodder")? Incredible. And no, Bushie, your new request for $87 billion "won't wreck the federal budget" - you've already done that. How are your friends at Haliburton and Enron doing, hmm, Georgie?
