Oooh! Can we even stand another "October Surprise"?

I happened to have CNN blaring while I was keying in that last posting and what to my surprise (without eight little reindeer) ... came yet another "October Surprise." Karl Rove is working overtime at it. But how he happened to "lose" millions of dollars worth of small arms munitions and "lose track of" another 278,000 such weapons ... is beyond the imagination. Surely, Rumsfeld was involved in this with Karl. How could Karl Rove have slipped 278,000 weapons into the hands of Al-Qaida and the Iraqi insurgents all by himself ... with his left hand on the arm of Taylor Hughes? (scroll to bottom)

Admittedly, there is room to spare under the white theobes (white dresses) worn by most Iraqi men (see photo at upper left) and they could even slip pistols under their gutras (scarf-type head dresses) or white skull caps ... but this arms loss stretches the imagination.

But seriously, this is pretty seriously serious! Not only didn't the military or our (no-bid) contractors not keep track of serial numbers, they didn't even keep shipping manifests and lists of exactly what they were providing to Al Qaida our Iraqi "friends" for whom we have provided a bogus theocratic-democracy ... of sorts, as well.

As of today, we have lost 101 young soldiers in October alone ... that rounds out to between 2500 and 3000 "unaccounted for" weapons per soldier killed in Iraq this month.

This invasion, war and occupation in Iraq isn't just horrible ... it's sick! Very, very ugly sick!
