SMH: "In a fresh blow to John Kerry's flagging presidential campaign, the Pentagon has ordered an official investigation into the awarding of the Democratic senator's five Vietnam War decorations."
This is an outrageous attempt to defile Kerry's record and to thwart the due election process. Apparently the Pentagon prefers a deserter for president. The Stalinists run the Bush administration now. The result of the investigation is already known: Kerry deserved those medals. The whole purpose is to damage Bush's opponent. What a circus! How moronic can they get?

"About 1100 US soldiers were wounded in Iraq in August, by far the highest combat injury toll for any month since the war began and an indication of the intensity of battles flaring in urban areas."
Nevertheless, Bush gains a lead in the opinion polls? How come? When it is clear that Bush has lost this war as well. Are Bush-supporters sadists?
"In Iraq, the list of places from which American soldiers have either withdrawn or decided to visit only rarely is growing: Falluja, where a Taliban-like regime has imposed a rigid theocracy; Ramadi, where the Sunni insurgents appear to have the run of the city; and the holy Shiite cities of Karbala and Najaf to the south, where the Americans agreed last month to keep their distance from the sacred shrines of Ali and Hussein."
