7 US Troops killed yesterday by car bomb in Fallujah. 2 US Troops were killed yesterday and 16 injured in a mortar barrage in Baghdad.

The current total of US Troops now dead in Bush’s “miscalculation”: 990, as best as I am able to keep track.

Never mind the children that the U.S. has managed to kill and/or injure in the last 24 hours. I’ll spare you the photos here. For now.

And in other “miscalculation” news, where at least we’ve “liberated” a country working towards Democracy (please Email me if you believe that, by the way, as I’ve got some nice land in Tikrit to sell you, if so!), it turns out the “Democracy” taking shape over there may not be so “Democratic” after all!

The interim “miscalculation” government in Iraq has now banned al-Jazeera permanently. Shoring up, I guess, their “Liberated” Freedom of the Press.

And as to their upcoming elections in January? Well, we may have to start putting quotes around the word “election” as well, as it is now becoming possible that these “elections” will be held at the exclusion of some major cities where the outcome of voting may not be quite as favorable as the U.S. and their “friends” in Iraq may like.

According to today’s LA Times:

All of this information should be common knowledge to Americans during “war time” if we had a responsible media who were interested in giving us NEWS rather than SPIN and political horse races…Particularly since last month — August — was the bloodiest month so far in Iraq! Who knew?

So the “miscalculation” by the guy that wants you to re-“elect” him — based on his sound judgement and resolute convictions — continues. But unless you pay attention to folks like me, with blogs like this one, you’d have no idea. And, of course, that’s just how George W. Bush would like it to continue.

So do something.
