Security backsliding may be accelerating. Twin suicide bombings today, right in the bustling markets that the U.S. likes to promote as symbols of progress. Both bombings occurred in the very heart of Baghdad -- itself the very heart of the surge, and right when the Maliki government turned the Iraqi Army's attention to Mosul. Looks like we won't have to wait for the end of the surge to witness the End of the Surge.

So, there’s been a million innocent Iraqi men, women, and children killed in Bush’s ‘shock and awe’ genocide of Iraq. 4000 fine American service boys and girls killed and how many of America’s fine service boys and girls are left worse than those killed? You know, 4000 and one shouldn’t have to quibble about two or three over or under that number. The violence HAS NEVER relented or abated. One can read Juan Cole for a daily report on the violence. Thanks Professor Cole for your tireless work. Bush’s “surge” is a purge on reality and of course, Bush and his gang of aberrant war criminals wouldn’t know “reality” if it crawled up behind them and bit them squarely on their lying fannies. 935 lies and I find it amazing that someone actually did the math and counted the myriad lies told by Bush, Cheney, Rice, Powell, Rummy, and mercy that is a lot of lying. Lying and dying and the torture and the illegal detainees and oh my, ‘we the American people’ are so screwed. How come America’s cowardly Congress hasn’t impeached this pack of venomous vermin?
