Funny, the White House counts "10 ways the liberation of Iraq supports the war on terror".
I guess they can't add, because I counted 3,633 ways.
1,609 U.S. troops killed in Bush's War on Terror™ that is being waged in Iraq.
2,024 Iraqi police and guardsmen killed from the time of recruitment to May 5, 2005. 112 of them were killed in May. And it's only May 10th today.
No wonder the U.S. military recruiters keep missing their goals month after month. No one wants to enlist.
And with Iraqi rebels targeting police and army recruitment centers, I can't imagine there is much enthusiasm to enlist there, either.
Bring 'em on, you know. And Mission Accomplished.
