yay america!

...if this were an Iraqi newspaper, I would've just made $1000 for that title. Nice, huh?

Yeah, we've heard over and over and over again from the right that the war in Iraw is going great, that the country as a whole -- hellholes aside -- is like a giant desert country club where everyone drinks ice cold lemonade next to in-ground pools that everyone has. Okay, maybe not that swell, but swell enough.

Unfortunately, the Iraqi newspapers don't see it -- and so the military is paying Iraqi newspapers to see it.

Yeah, this makes us look good. Not only have we invaded a foriegn country over false premises, tortured a few people, melted a few civilians with white phosporus, and otherwise brought the very center of the Middle East to the brink of civil war...now we're propogandists. The terrorists hate imperialists -- that's what "islamofascism" is all about (it ain't about Islam, that's for sure)-- and we keep acting more and more the part of imperialist every day.

...and yet George Bush is still considered a decent leader by some. What gives?
