"George-The Lesser, pretender-to-the-throne" continues to chant "Stay the course"... (Isn't that what the captain of the Titanic once said?) He has embarked on a group of four carefully orchestrated "speeches" before groups of carefully-selected "supporters", against "patriotic" backdrops".... all for the purpose of avoiding his catatrophic failures! Air America Radio today mentioned a British survey of Iraqi civilians.. 80 % of whom, WANT AMERICAN TROOPS OUT NOW!!! more troubling, 45% OF THOSE SURVEYED FEEL IT IS ACCEPTABLE TO "SHOOT AT AMERICAN TROOPS!!!" True, the Iraqi "leaders (carefully selected by the Bush administration) support the American "occupation"; THE MAJORITY OF IRAQI CITIZENS DO NOT!!! Iraqi civilain "casualties" now EXCEED 118,000!!! American troop-losses exceed 2100, and tens of thousands of badly-injured Americans and Iraqis will bear the consequences of this war for the rest of their lives. "Suicide-rates" of American troops are at an "all-time-high".Their "infrastructure" is now better now than it was two years ago, and "insurgent-attacks" aimed at Americans, kill hundreds of Iraqis every week. It is now PAINFULLY evident that the Bush adminstration is guilty of CASATROPHIC FAILURES OF PLANNING, AND EXECUTION OF AN "ILLEGAL WAR"!!!.....In economic news.... The Ford Motor Company is expected to close 25% of it's factories and "lay-off" more than 25,000 workers in the "re-structuring" to be announced soon. (sounds like "de-ja-vu" all over again!!!!)
