The New York Times reports,

Fourteen marines were killed early today when their troop carrier struck a gigantic roadside bomb in the western town of Haditha.

The Bush PR team will keep on insisting that we have the insurgents on the run. The facts on the ground say otherwise.

Amazingly, Bush and the Congress will remain on vacation congratulating themselves on a job well done. Amazingly, the voters in OH-2 sent another Bush rubber stamper to Congress last night. I'm sure more than a few voters in southern Ohio might be thinking maybe just maybe they should have voted for someone who will show a bit of independence in Congress. I can't think of a single Bush & Co. policy that has actually worked as promised. It's beyond time for us to stop sending people to Congress who will do nothing other than sign blank checks for George Bush. We need people willing to stand up on the House floor and bring impeach charges against Georgie and Big Daddy Cheney.
