Osama Bin Laden endorses Kerry

Well, it's crunch time.
And the gloves are off.
Repubs call in all their favors.

"We do not keep body counts"

"Making conservative assumptions, we think that about 100 000 excess deaths or more have happened since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Violence accounted for most of the excess."

World War One was the first war where civilians died in great numbers. The ratio was about 1:1.
for World War Two, Nazi and Japanese genocide included, Allied firebombings as well, it stands at 14:1.
Iraq
100:1

Year 2004. This is the future baby. It has never, ever been worse. From the time Timujin made pyramids of the skulls of the people of entire cities it has never been worse.
The only things missing here are 6 years (world war two) and a enough people to aim at.

And it's not even a genocide. The Americans aren't even trying to kill every Iraqi. Could you imagine if they were?

As for the resistence. Think, these are deaths. Not injuries. So, if i'm going to make some conservative assumptions there should be 5 injuries (from broken limbs to amputation, brain damage and blindness) for every death. So some 600 to 750 civiliam casualties. Now considering that there are around 24 million, and falling, Iraqis and say that they each have 50 people they are close to they each know someone who has been killed or maimed by indescriminate co-allition bombings. Might have an effect on who they fight for.

They don't keep body counts because they don't want to be embarassed. They don't because they simply can't.

US President chosen by Surrender Monkeys

Not only does your vote not count if you're American but it does if you're not.

Ramadan Fireworks

KablooI!!
This should do much to bolster GWB's claims on newborn Iraqi stability.
Too bad people are still joining his revamped ARVN.

Prognisis? 10 years of utter chaos? If they're lucky.

The new economy

I hate my job. But it's giving me muscles. I think I'll love my new one.

I need THIS GADGET!

Of all the stupid gizmos I've ever wanted this one I MUST HAVE

Elsewhere? Business as usual.

It's nice to see that life in the rest of the world goes on as it always has.
A nice dose of the usual invidious ourgages this world has to offer does brighten the day.
Seriously. At least this doesn't spell armagedon.

Will Zionism destroy Israel?

Israel will have to fold in on itself further if the pullout is not effected. If so it will continue it's charge towards a pariah state the way South Africa had. And it's likely it will. It cannot stand a civil war at the moment. They have no friends to depend on. Or can they. Will the Arab states attack? After all the Israelis would be easy pickings. And their destruction would be a major relief. And there isn't much more the USA can do to save them if the war they face is internal.
And the USA is relying on Israel to manage this region. As impossible as it is for both. But what would happen if they lost Israel. Maybe they could do something.
I just hope Israel doesn't nuke itself. Or that the USA helps their chosen side in this matter. Just as long as no one comes along and blames it on the Arabs.

Fuck this, I'm moving to China.

But I don't think the USA can do much against a collapse of their world power.
Unless they start nuking everything. I don't think they could be that stupid.
Then again the Soviets didn't either. But the Germans were opposed to the lack of control they had over their nation. The soviets had to let go. And they could without facing German hostility. The Israelis against the pullout are for dominance and are violent.
This could be war.
All this could be the end of the American Empire. They could lose all naval access to Iraq. So much for that. Yet another empire goes down for the loss of it's final allie.

Then again... I don't think Israel can go much farther into being a paraiah. It's behavior has been just as bad for just as long as South Africa's had been when Aparteid was destroyed. When the concesions were made. But the pullout is only the first step to the end of the revolt. And the revolt has destroyed the economy of Israel proper, never mind Palestine's. It simply can't go on.

The allegations are being investigated by at least five US congressional committees, the Iraqi Interim Government and a UN inquiry headed by Paul Volcker, the former chairman of the US Federal Reserve.
