Awesome War!

(CBS/AP) As relatives and friends buried the victims Monday of the deadliest blast to hit Afghanistan since the 2001 U.S. invasion, another suicide bomber killed 35 civilians at a busy market in the same province, a police official said.

At least 28 people were wounded in the market attack, apparently targeting a Canadian military convoy in Spin Boldak, a town in Kandahar province near the border with Pakistan, said Abdul Razeq, the Spin Boldak border police chief. Two Canadian soldiers were wounded, he said.

The death toll from the Sunday blast on the outskirts of Kandahar city rose to more than 100 on Monday, according to a provincial governor, who also said he had warned an anti-Taliban militia leader targeted in the attack that militants were trying to kill him.

We're supposed to be having this "war on terra", but not much is ever said about how badly it's been waged. Isn't there a price for totally fucking this shit up? You put the best, and most expensive, military in the world in another country, and the net effect is that a few schools get painted and a lot of people die?

What the fuck?

The right wing loons (Doug's loons) will insist that this has been botched because the military didn't "take the gloves off", presumably meaning that they didn't kill enough people. Regardless (and I obviously think that's reasoning beyond moronic), shouldn't the massive failure and waste be an issue people care about?

And somehow John McCain is going to get some votes for Presdient? Jesus fucking Christ what a travesty.
