Only in the A.S.A. (Altered State of America) could anyone believe that "we are winning the war on terror"- whatever the hell that means: A mortar attack set ablaze a major petroleum facility in the northern city of Kirkuk on Thursday, stopping refining at the plant and further damaging Iraq's beleaguered oil industry... Violence swept through the nation Thursday, taking the lives of at least 26 Iraqis. The U.S. military also announced the deaths of seven American servicemen since Wednesday... U.S. helicopter attack in Sadr City... an Iraqi woman was killed and a 2-year-old injured in that assault... Military officials on Thursday also announced the deaths of seven servicemen. A Marine and a soldier were killed Wednesday in gunfights near the city of Fallouja and in southwest Baghdad, respectively. A roadside bomb killed three soldiers Wednesday south of Baghdad. Two more U.S. servicemen were killed Thursday by snipers in the western city of Ramadi. (Enough blood, bones, eyes, teeth, ears, and various body parts yet?)
