No matter what happens in Iraq, just remember we are winning the war and we will continue to be victorious, even if there are the occasional outbreaks of manageable violence:
BAGHDAD (AFP) — Twin suicide bombings near Shiite mosques in Baghdad on Thursday killed at least 16 people as worshippers celebrated Eid al-Fitr, the festival marking the end of the holy Muslim month of Ramadan, officials said.
Another six people were shot dead in an ambush in a restive city north of the capital, they said.
All sarcasm aside, please recall the constant TV news coverage of the Virginia Tech shooter last year, and compare that with the utter lack of coverage about this incident. Then remember all the outrage at the proposal to spend billions on a bailout rescue of our financial system and round the clock media coverage of that issue, and contrast that with the billions we are spending to occupy Iraq each month with 150,000 American troops, and the incredibly diminished coverage of that conflict on our TV screens.
In the one case people are stating that we are just “throwing money at the problem” without any idea if it will work. And in the other . . . ?
