Turning the Corner

Marines Who Survived Ambush Are Killed, Wounded in Blast

Washington Post: This entire Marine squad - 1st Platoon of Lima Company, 3rd Battalion, 25th Regiment - has been wiped out.

How many times have we "turned the corner"? If you turn a corner four times, you are now going in a circle. We are in a vicious circle that repeats itself time and again. Our men are being sent out on bad missions without the proper equipment and getting suckered by fake "intelligence".

"In the Battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed," President Bush said on May 2, 2003.

"I'm doing a good job. We’re turning the corner. We’re hunting down them evil ones and smoking them out. We’ve got them on the run." - Bush, November 26, 2001

"My Administration, and this Congress, will give you the resources you need to fight and win the war on terror." - President Bush, State of the Union Address, January 20, 2004

Oops, I guess not.

"Our troops need to be protected over there to the best ability that we can protect them and it's not being done," Eric McKinley.

"The Pentagon is still struggling to provide the equipment needed to fight the war."

"production is lagging behind the urgent need..."

"And we don't have the radios that we need."

Who you gonna believe?
