It's Official

April is now the deadliest month for American forces in Iraq since the start of hostilities. WaPo is reporting that 7 more soldiers have lost their lives. Two near Basra in an attack by bombers in boats(a new tactic?), and Five in a rocket attack at their base in Taji.

Kimmitt is reported as saying, "Our patience is not eternal." This in regard to the likely resumption of the seige of Fallujah.

Anybody who thinks that:

A. This is worth the as yet unknown cost

B. The Iraq war redux is justified

is experiencing a case of cognitive dissonance that would make a good case study, or is flatly mad.

It's a damned shame. And it's worsening.
