    I can't help but contrast the photo of the brave Sergeant with a recent clip of GWB cavorting in front of the press, wearing his familiar self-satisfied smirk, and treating all as a tremendous joke. One man's sociopathy leading to another's sacrifice. This is the obvious comparison to be drawn.

    “a gas-fed shape charge explosive”

    Whose?

    DLS:

    Given that it was Anbar Province in February 2005, the explosive certainly was set by insurgents. No more specific mention of the perps in any of the stories I read.

    His photo is what I see when I think about this unnecessary and mismanaged fiasco.

    Thanks, Shaun. For the record, I was of course trying to identify the perpetrator as the worst person we should be most angry at, rather than Dubya, but also, this was _not_ an attempt to try to absolve Bush of the consequences and the magnitude of those consequences, of his decision to take us to war in Iraq.

    Unfortunately, you are a rare voice reminding us that reatl people are being killed or otherwise destroyed, while we obsess about poll numbers.
