U.S. Toll in Iraq At 8-Month Low
BAGHDAD - According to military sources the American death toll in Iraq is at its lowest point in over 8 months. The outcry from Democrats was immediate and strong: Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) said, "This decline of casualties shouldn't give anyone the idea we're not losing, and bad." Harry Reid (D-Nev) said, "Who cares how many soldiers live or die, the war's lost, it doesn't make any difference." How right you are, Senator.
Positive Report On Iraq War Could Split Dems
WASHINGTON DC - House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said Monday that a strongly positive report on progress on Iraq by Army Gen. David Petraeus likely would split Democrats in the House and impede his party's efforts to press for a timetable to end the war. "We're nude, screwed, and tattooed if that report doesn't say we're losing," said a frustrated Clyburn.
Democrats are already reeling from news that U.S. causalities are at an eight-month low, and the possibility that the Petraeus report may indicate progress in the war is apparently causing many lead Democrats to despair. When asked what she would do if the report reflects good news, Hillary Clinton (D-NY) said, "There are plenty of other problems with this country we can revel in. Meanwhile, we'll hope things in Iraq turn around." Joe Biden (D-Del) added, "We will not be deterred by this unexpected setback, and continue to have complete faith in our military's ability to lose this war."
I guess when it rains it pours!
Scooter peace out.
Leave it to Nancy and Harry to spin good news into bad. :)
Good post! Thanks
The best satire mimics reality.
[Who cares how many soldiers live or die,]
That statement, right there, says everything anybody needs to know about the democrat party.
You really gotta be careful about this stuff. Today’s satire becomes tomorrow’s news almost too often to be funny anymore.
