Well, two news items about that old festering crime we’ve
all forgotten, the occupation of Iraq, recently came to the surface – giving us
a really sweet juxtaposition of the 00s. One comes from the NYT world class
suckup, Peter Baker, whose reporting in the 00s was to reality as Oz was toKansas – quite a distance away. In his opus of insiderdom (he talked to all ofBush’s friends and ministers! And it turns out he was an excellent president!),he reports that Bush, during some rough spots in the war in 2006, ground histeeth so much they hurt. The darling! One can tell that Baker is himself moved,and probably, as he typed, had to swallow tears himself, such are his feelingsfor the great man.
The other is a rather unimportant item. Item: best estimatesare that nearly 500,000 Iraqis died in the 2003-2011 period due to our bigadventure.
But Bush’s aching teeth! My, how we sacrificed to set the
Iraqis free. I get all well teary eyed thinking about Operation Enduring
Toothache.
