>>>>UPDATE: Libby found guilty on four out of five counts!!!! For details see the NY Times.
> Nine U.S. troops were killed on Monday, according to the New York Times:
The American military command in Iraq reported today that nine American servicemen were killed in two blasts north of Baghdad on Monday, making it the deadliest day in weeks for U.S. troops....
....Another bomb attack killed three soldiers conducting combat operations in Diyala Province, the restive area northeast of Baghdad where Sunni insurgents and Shiite militias fight daily for control of the large city of Baquba and the fertile region around it....
Was Bush's surge meant to bring more troops into Iraq or more U.S. deaths? In case you haven't been keeping a record, according to Iraq Coalition Casualties, 3170 Americans have been killed in Iraq. They are 14 more American deaths waiting for confirmation by the Department of Defense, which would bring the total to 3184.
> Finally, Jenna Bush has written a book. (No---- it is not a coloring book or a book on how to party!!!!!!) Any fool who purchases this book should be taken out into the bookstore parking lot and slapped ten times with a wet noodle. This is just another Bush family member trying to make a profit off of the American people. In the article in USA Today, Jenna is called a former public school teacher. Wait..... Wait...... Wait.... Sorry, I had to pick myself up off the floor because I was laughing so much. Give me a break! Now she is a "former" public school teacher!!!!????? I thought she was a teacher's assistant. How did she go all the way to be called a teacher? Miss Bush's experiences in the classroom or travel do not justify a book deal. This is just disgusting.
