Terror Attack Leaves Over 900 Americans Dead
Full Story at 11, with Sports, Weather and Mundane Chit Chat
Last night I spent some time trying to come up with a new bumpersticker or two, and came up dry. One topic that I pondered was the Chicken-Little Alert that came on the heels of the democratic convention. I couldn't think of anything that I hadn't done already. I don't know that I can surpass the Be Afraid animated GIF.
The other topic is the ongoing loss of life in Iraq. It's hard to distill that topic down to something pithy. The best I could think of is "Well, NOW Iraq is a Danger."
Bush is clearly not keeping the US safe. He's taking Americans out of their civilian lives, shipping them into a hostile environment, and letting them get killed for no good reason. Saddam was contained, and wasn't a threat even in Kurdistan, much less the US. In the end, we're substituting a new Ba'athist thug in place of the old Ba'athist thug, at a great cost in American treasure and blood.
Update: Tom posted on exactly the same two topics.
