We're just about to turn that Corner...

Yeah, right.

Okay, can we establish a few basic rules regarding the english language(ok, ok... the spoken thang we do here in da States). If someone is going to suggest that something is about to occur, say a decrease of activity, then we should be able to figure out that if it is going say, up... that they are wrong, maybe misguided, or lying, possibly even delusional.

For example, it is with great interest that I see that the insurgency activity in lil' ol Iraq is not only showing no signs of lessening, decreasing, going down, just the opposite is happneing -- it is increasing.

So, when I read that reinforcements arrive in Iraq as that bastion of rational thought, the Pentagon releases a report which shows that the Iraqi insurgency is at two-year high, I have to wonder about language, intelligence, and how much empirical, evidence there directly in front of you, can be ignored.

I am certian, just absolutely freakin' positive, that someone somewhere in the broken van of BushCo is about to say that: "We're just about to turn a corner on the insurgency and..." Yeah, right. Turn the corner into a hail fire of RPGs, bullets, and stones perhaps. And our troops deserve better than this ill planned, ill fated misadventure. They really do.

Heck, we all do.
