THIS IS PRECISELY WHY WE SHOULD BE CONCERNED. OUR MEDIA MAKING LIGHT OF EVIDENCE THAT OUR GOVERNMENT COMMITTED WAR CRIMES, CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY AND CRIMES AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BY THEIR PREVARICATIONS. INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE ISSUE, MILBANK CHOOSES TO MOCK THOSE WHO ARE CONCERNED. PERHAPS MILBANK DOTH PROTEST TOO MUCH.

BUT THE BRITS HAVE A PRESS THAT DID SOME INVESTIGATING - IMAGINE - AND TURNED UP THE EVIDENCE. THE U.S. THEN HAD TO ADMIT THE LIE. SO .. WHAT ARE MK77[base ']S ? BOMBS THAT ... carry kerosene-based jet fuel and polystyrene so that, like napalm, the gel sticks to structures and to its victims. The bombs lack stabilizing fins WHICH MAKES THEM PRETTY MUCH INDISCRIMINATE. THESE ARE WEAPONS REVILED BY THE CIVILIZED WORLD. JUST ADD THEM TO THE U.S. ARSENAL INCLUDING CLUSTER BOMBS AND DEPLETED URANIUM. NOW, WE DON[base ']T TRUST BUSH, THE WORLD AT LARGE DOESN[base ']T TRUST BUSH, AND EVEN TONY BLAIR CAN[base ']T TRUST BUSH. LAURA , ARE YOU LISTENING? 7:35:32 AM    comment []
