A number is just a number, as time goes by - unless of course it's your father or brother or daughter blown apart by a roadside bomb.
"You know, it's a number, and every time there's one of these 500-benchmarks, people want something" said Tony Snow. Imagine that - some people think that we have a Democracy here and have the nerve to think they can influence the Emperor.
And let's hear it for the troops, who as you know, volunteered to suffer " to try to ensure that the people of Iraq really do live in a free, effective democracy of their own creation and design." So dedicated are thy that they didn't even wait to hear that bogus excuse when they were told they were fighting to destroy a government that was only minutes away from nuking us.
If this were fiction, it wouldn't sell. Readers would not buy a story about a whole nation being that stupid, that gullible, that willing to submit to tyranny. An America so cowardly that nothing seems important other than to save our SUV's from the terrorists, whether it's liberty or democracy or even sanity.
I need a break. Ineed to get away from the madness and so Fogg will be offshore for a week. Until then, don't believe a damned thing they say.

Hey, if anyone chooses to enlist with that kind of sentiment, evolution is still alive and well.
Have a nice vacation.
Enjoy your time away from this crazy news cycle...
I totally support taking vacations. I'm looking forward to the day I can legally work here so I can take advantage of the 4 week paid summer vacation and the 22 days of state holidays.
You can't get away from it all. Sitting in a pub, watching the telly, I'm impressed with how the English media dare to question the grandstanding of the government and their attempts to distract from their failures and lies by yapping about fake terrorist plots and sudden appeals to "law and order."
The US media are not only spineless, but serve as the official government mouthpiece.
