When the attack came, the first target was Falluja General Hospital. The New York Times explained why: "The offensive also shut down what officers said was a propaganda weapon for the militants: Falluja General Hospital, with its stream of reports of civilian casualties." If there were no hospital, there would be no visible casualties; if there were no visible casualties, there would be no international outrage, and all would be well.

Yes, that is dismal, as is the US's admittance that its postponement of this military action until after the US election (and pretty much publicly announcing that they were doing this) has let the targets of the invasion shift their more critical resources to other places. So not only are we closing hospitals, we're closing them to secure a location that has lost a lot of its military value.

Mission accomplished.

It is the wrong war. It is an unwinnable war. It is a criminally mishandled war.

Chuck D was being interviewed last night. He said Bush is the world's number one gangster.
