In other words, the Iraqi terrorists won.  I'm curious how Bush will spin
this as a victory.  That'll probably be easy since most people are
clueless.  They'll believe anything.  But, how will he answer where the war
is after it's no longer "over there"?  I suppose after London this whole
war on terror thing  sounds pretty hollow to most reasonable people, the
minority in this country.  In the red states they're no doubt awaiting Bush
to lead them into the rapture.  Maybe he'll even screw that up.  I want to
know how he's going to explain this to Allah after he's raptured out.
