Is George Bush trying to reach Heaven by standing on a pile of Iraqi and American corpses?

We’re beginning to see the outlines of Bush’s military strategy in Iraq. It’s not withdrawal. Don’t kid yourself.

Bush intends to prevail.

While he may, under domestic pressure, bring 10,000 or 20,000 or even 50,000 troops home, he has no intention of ending this war.

As Seymour Hersh notes in the latest issue of The New Yorker, Bush plans on replacing a reliance on U.S. troops with a reliance on U.S. bombers.

“Departing American troops will be replaced by American airpower,” Hersh writes. “Quick, deadly strikes by U.S. warplanes are seen as a way to improve dramatically the combat capability of even the weakest Iraqi combat units.”

Already, “the tempo of American bombing seems to have increased,” Hersh reports. And he cites a Pentagon press release that notes that one Marine aircraft unit alone has “dropped more than 500,000 tons of ordnance.”

This could lead to a much higher civilian death toll in Iraq, which is now at least 27,000, according to Iraqbodycount.net, and perhaps more than 100,000, according to the October 2004 Johns Hopkins University study published in The Lancet.

Bush is clearly untouched by the carnage that occurs by his will in Iraq. He seems to be completely disconnected from the horrible images and news that we find everywhere on the internet and nightly news. I wanted to believe that he simply did not see them, but I know the truth is that he just flat, fucking does not care! Our lives mean nothing to this megalomaniac as he continues to wage this holy war against the infidels while attempting to wipe out their culture and replace it with our version of democracy.

Bush, for his part, is so ga-ga with messianic delusions that he doesn’t care about the deaths along the way, Hersh contends. “He doesn’t feel any pain,” one former defense official told Hersh. “Bush is a believer in the adage, ‘People may suffer and die but the Church advances.’ ”

If you do believe in God then I suggest you start praying as hard as you can. We have never been in more dire need of celestial help then we are today.
