The Baghdad Mile

Not to be confused with the Mogadishu Mile, although both events are related despite being over 20 years apart.

The 25% increase in the cost of petrol will amount to roughly $75-100 more a month for my family at the gas pump alone.  But I'm sure it won't translate into higher costs elsewhere, right?

To the soldiers who fought in Iraq, all I can say is "I'm sorry.  You went with a noble and just purpose, set a high standard for yourselves and America, and you succeeded in every mission.  This week's developments, and the coming weeks', are not a reflection on you, your service, or your sacrifice. They are the result of the wholly-owned principles of liberalism and the Democrat Party."
