And her totally factual claim that “No one knows what war is like other than my family. Period.” I might be going out on a limb here, but I think the families of the over 4000 men and women who have been killed so far in Iraq might know what war is like, but maybe not. After all, their fathers probably aren’t “famous war heroes. “

So former White House press secretary Scott McClellan admits to giving talking points direct from White House sources to right wing pundits, and Fox is fighting back like mad and Dizzying King of Spin O’Reilly immediately using the QUICK! point the finger elsewhere QUICK! tactic. You fucking soul-less coward. O’Reilly and his ilk — and folks like Chris Matthews on the other side as well — should all be shipped to Iraq to have their bodies used as human shields to protect our soldiers. But even McClellan’s claim comes as a shock, in a not so shocking way. FUCKITWE’REDOOMED.

Iraq veteran PFC Joseph Dwyer, famed in a patriotic wave in 2003 for the above picture in which he is rescuing an Iraqi child at Mt. Sinai, was found dead at his North Carolina home after apparent abuse of a computer aerosol.

Dwyer returned home from the war in 2006, already suffering from post-traumatic stress. He was unable to hold a job, clung to his firearms and fell into deep depression. He was treated at VAs but nothing helped. Dwyer’s recent death at age 31 will stand as an ironic tragedy.

MSNBC newscaster Keith Olbermann made some very harsh criticisms of President Bush and his recent comments in an online interview. Most thoroughly lambasted would be Bush’s remarks on giving up golf in wake of the Iraqi war. Read key transcriptions and view Olbermann’s commentary here.

Am I the only one who thinks Commanding General of the Multi-National force in Iraq General David Petraeus shares more than a passing likeness with Saturday Night Live star Dana Carvey? The chin. The cheekbones. The overall facial structure. The witty sense of humor (i.e, Wayne’s World; belief that we can win in Iraq).
