Jaded Times

Amidst lies, tragedies, failures, and instability in Iraq, promises unfulfilled in the fight against AIDS/HIV, and Iraq’s president not towing the White House agenda on current conflicts with Iran, this really hasn’t been the President’s month. Sort of like last month. Good thing the Bush administration’s policies have made our nation safer, completey revitalized the economy, and maintained international support.

Pull quote of the week:

In contrast to the Pentagon’s stock answer that there are enough troops on the ground in Iraq, the commanders said that they not only needed more manpower but also had repeatedly asked for it. Indeed, military sources told TIME that as recently as August 2005, a senior military official requested more troops but got turned down flat.

This has been your start of the week failure roundup. Thanks for tuning in.
