Record death count in Baghdad July

The Bushies and other war mongers are no doubt quite happy to see attention diverted to Lebanon ...and now to the breakup of a possible terrorist plot to blow up airliners.

Meanwhile, the mission in Iraq, long ago "accomplished", is anything but. I don't know at what point of chaos the Bush administration will be willing to admit that Iraq has deteriorated to civil war. The reality is that the Baghdad morgue counted the highest number of dead bodies since the US invasion began (according to this Washington Post article, the July 2006 count was 1,815 dead. Sadly, a record high number).

And sadly, rather than supporting our troops by bringing them home, Bush has quietly increased our troop presence.

Maybe it's a good thing that our troop presence in Iraq has increased. It will cut down on the transportation costs, getting our soldiers to Armageddon on time.
