Big Picture

America has been paying Iraqi families “oops” money for the death and dismemberment of some obviously non insurgant killings.

(Women…female/male children under 5…men/women over 75) Males between 6 and 74 of course, can and ARE counted as ‘insurgents’ and their deaths are rejoiced on CNN, FOX, CBS, NBC and ABC etc.

But I have to wonder…slow witted and drunk most of the time that I am…does this mean we are winning or losing this war on terror? I am confused. If we are killing future arabs/muslims (children/women etc) isn’t this a good thing? Isn’t this what we want? Why are MY tax dollars being spent on ‘oops’ money? Good Lord, why can’t someone help me out and why didn’t Paul Bremmer take care of all this? Wasn’t that his mission?

Thank you all! Anna Sukrana
