This is just sickening...

Read this article and then ask yourself "what were they thinking?!".

I sincerely hope that this story is raised tonight in the debate as a preamble to a direct question to aWol along the lines of: Mr. President, you, your senior cabinet officers and your campaign spokespersons, as well as Iraqi PM Allawi during his visit here, have all been telling us that things are going just great in Iraq and that we are on-track to hold elections in January, that the insurgency is limited to a few isolated areas in only 3 provinces... Yet, the reality of the situation is belied by every report coming from Iraq including this tragic incident in which 35 children were killed and another 72 injured in a car bombing of the opening ceremony for a new sewage treatment plant. Sir, you have been either lying to the american public or you are seriously mis-informed. Which is it? If the latter, then why has no one been fired? If the former, then have you no remorse for the deaths that your mendacity has incurred?
