What Condi Rice hath wrought

If you can look at the images posted by Dahr Jamail, an independent journalist in Baghdad, you have a stronger stomach than I. This is what a disastrous foreign policy looks like. Not dead American soldiers, although we've got well over a thousand of those to show for it, but these images of dead Iraqis. The dead, or what's left of them.

This is why we cannot be silent today while the Senate debates confirming her. Please contact your senators; tell them that this administration, full of chicken hawks who refused to serve in the armed forces, which has no compunction using the poor as cannon fodder and Iraqi children as target practice, that this administration needs someone to say "no" to it. And goddamnit, it's my senators' jobs to do that. Yours, too.
