Newsflash: The War in Iraq Continues (to go badly)

You'd never know it from the lack of reporting by the so-called liberal media, but the Bush-created quagmire in Iraq continues unabated. Today 3 U.S. soldiers were killed, 9 wounded, 5 of them "very seriously." Another 13 Iraqis were killed, adding to hundreds killed in the last two weeks.

And, here's the real kicker to the story: " A US general ruled out setting a date for US troops to hand control to Iraqi forces."

Doesn't it make you wonder what's in store for countries like North Korea and Iran, who really do have weapons of mass destruction?

Don't these people have anything better to do, like "helping the least of our brothers"--the poor, elderly and sick? Oh wait, I forgot that health care for all and protection of social security were values of the left, not the right.

P.S. There's a great moving "ticker" on this site that shows what American taxpayers are paying to finance the war in Iraq.
