302 and counting

MANIFESTO

Given the fact that the booboisie is all atwitter over Paris Hilton's recent brush with the law, it might be instructive to remember that 2010's US death count in Afghanistan currently stands at 302. With this pace, this year's death count will hit 450 or so.

Once again, an American administration has been sucked into a foreign civil war with no plan and no apparent method of preparing one. And like the thousands of troops before them since the late 1950s, those who won't be returning from Afghanistan will have died in vain.
