U.S. Troops

“Today was Veteran’s Day, a day to honor those brave Americans who have fought to defend our country � or in our president’s case, a day to freak them out.  President Bush commemorated Veteran’s Day by attending a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, then signing the National Cemetery Expansion Act, which basically establishes new burial grounds for veterans.  So happy Veteran’s Day � we wanted to give you health insurance but …” �Jon Stewart

To summarize:
Nov. 11 – Bush signs bill that creates new cemetery space for vets.
Nov. 15 – Monthly Iraq fatalities are climbing back to the pre-end-of-the-war rate.
Nov. 22 – The U.S. military will have 100,000 troops in Iraq until 2006.

Coincidence?
