I posted this at Daily Kos, then realized I forgot to post it here. Terribly sorry.
I am sitting here watching Countdown, my hope being that the wit and wisdom of Keith Olbermann might help me to relax and rest after a week of work (that won't actually end until tomorrow). I heard something that developed a level of anger in me that I have yet to fully comprehend. Follow me below the fold.

We, as a nation have gone through one of the most ridiculous and ill-constructed "regimes" in world history when considering the Bush-Cheney Administration.
Their inability to do anything but invoke the Reverse Midas Touch to anything and everything they touch has to be one of the most incredulous stories in written history. Their ability to come out smelling like roses in the media must also be one of the most incredulous stories in written history.
Unfortunately, for those soldiers that have fought Bush's wars, the smell of death permeates this story. Their inability to have anything more on their side but a bunch of Profits-Above-ANYTHING Neo-Con's and a group of Citizens that are not listened to by their Governments has been to their serious detriment. A lack of necessary equipment, food, clean water and a goddamned PLAN has all come together to cause much more death and destruction for not only those soldiers from "our side", but the civilians and families in the coutries that Bush determined were to be brought under control. (See Oil, Natural Gas Pipelines and Profit).
It is not just American Soldiers dying in Bush's wars. Soldiers from other countries, who joined the with Bush on his quest for profit and retribution are dying as well.
