Further proof that the additional 20,000 men, playing whack-a-mole, actually had very little to do with any significant improvements in Iraq. Looks like someone reneged on a promise made to al Sadr.
It’s time to stop being obedient sheep, people. The Great Fabricator pulled another fast one, with the help of the culpable corporate media propaganda machine. And let’s face it, kids. We let it happen . . . again. So, put down the Bud-Lite and the Cheetohs, and get off yer mushy, complacent arses and start making some friggin’ noise! Damn it!
