On Sunday night, George W. Bush said:
I think the Iraqi people owe the, the American people a huge debt of gratitude. That’s the problem, here in America. They wonder whether or not there is a gratitude level that’s significant enough in Iraq.
And today we learn that:
Nearly 35,000 civilians were killed last year in Iraq, the United Nations said Tuesday, a sharp increase from the numbers reported previously by the Iraqi government.
Gianni Magazzeni, the chief of the U.N. Assistance Mission for Iraq, said 34,452 civilians were killed and 36,685 were wounded last year.
and just this morning….
Bombs kill 60 at Baghdad University; Gunmen kill 10 in marketplace; Two other bombings kill 19 in Baghdad
Yeah — WHY aren’t they grateful?!?
