Yankee go home

Today was the anniversary of the removal of Saddam Hussein from Iraq. In a news story -- I'm actually very surprized to see -- the news media had actually aired negative views of Iraqis concerning the US occupation. But how did it end? Not with anything remotely resembling the real reason we're there. Nothing about the real numbers of civilian deaths due to this war. Nothing about the real suffering of the citizens due to our still being there.

They ended the story with a quote from baby Bush. Well, it makes sense that they, as reporters, would want a statement from Bush, isn't it? Forget that they rarely bother to research stories which might contradict the agenda of their owner. They really did act as reporters in asking Bush about this. Oh, what did Bush say in response? This:

"If Saddam Hussein were still in power, a protest like this would not have been possible".

Uh-huh. Now, I'm no history buff, but wasn't it your daddy who put him in power to begin with...?
