I missed it yesterday — National Mission Accomplished Day. Iraq’s collection of ne’er-do-wells — former regime elements, noncompliant elements, Saddam loyalists, Baathist bums, foreign fighters and what have you (don’t worry, there are only about two dozen of them in the whole country, and there’s nothing we could do to make them happy ) — celebrated by killing at least 11 more U.S. troops over the weekend. Meanwhile, the rest of Iraq has suspended its continuous strewing of flowers in our soldiers’ paths to tune in Al Jazeera’s coverage (sorry about all the squiggly writing) of Torturegate.
