Bush lied

Okay, I know this one is a relatively small item in the Museo de Bush Lies, but remember on Tuesday's visit when Bush said the increase in forces around Baghdad would represent a redeployment, not a raising of the troop levels? Well, he lied.

If the increase around Baghdad is 4,000 troops, and the total number of US troops is increasing from 127,000 to 130,000 immediately, and targeted at 134,000 by the end of August.... (AFP) That sounds like a troop increase to me.

Taking into account yesterday's article on poor morale, can you imagine getting the news that your tour has been extended for 120 days?

  • Well, one way they can get out is by mutiny. If a lot of mofos rise, they can bust a cap into two high ranking officers if anyone gives them any trouble. They could then use a few boeings and hitch a ride home. They can fly to hollywood and do a movie about that. It'll be three kings-con air mix.
