We're bored of the games...
...as this "Wheel of Torture" continues unabated.
Who among us will cry "wolf", for once?
200 killed, 250 killed, 300 killed. A different number was given all weekend.
(Flashbacks)
The number doesn't really doesn't matter much.
There are millions upon millions. Are we going to kill them all?
No. We are not.
The Vietnam War caused the senseless deaths of tens of thousands of American military personnel, tens of millions of Vietnamese and other peoples of Southeast Asia. It also put an end to our nation's innocence.
This war may be killing America as we hope and pretend it to be.

Who will cry "wolves?"

Per today's New York Times, the only paper Apartment404 even thinks about trusting (Ok, sure, we love the PPH, too), since they are a stand alone company:
"250 Are Killed in Major Iraq Battle - January 29, 2007
BAGHDAD, Jan. 28 — At least 250 militants were killed and an American helicopter was shot down in violent clashes near the southern city of Najaf on Sunday, Iraqi officials said.
For 15 hours, Iraqi forces backed by American helicopters and tanks battled hundreds of gunmen hiding in a date palm orchard near the village of Zarqaa, about 120 miles south of Baghdad, by a river and a large grain silo that is surrounded by orchards, the officials said.
It appeared to be one of the deadliest battles in Iraq since the American-led invasion four years ago, and was the first major fight for Iraqi forces in Najaf Province since they took over control of security there from the Americans in December."
