Frozen in Hell

DC was looking like an icebox today, hence the subject heading.

Interesting Inaugural speech, too. Especially this part:

This is not primarily the task of arms, though we will defend ourselves and our friends by force of arms when necessary. Freedom, by its nature, must be chosen, and defended by citizens, and sustained by the rule of law and the protection of minorities. And when the soul of a nation finally speaks, the institutions that arise may reflect customs and traditions very different from our own. America will not impose our own style of government on the unwilling. Our goal instead is to help others find their own voice, attain their own freedom, and make their own way.

Ironically it would seem noone has bothered to inform W of the many innocent Iraqi civilian voices his actions have silenced. They won't be making their own way or attaining freedom. It's an odd notion...the idea that killing all of these innocents is the price to pay to "attain their own freedom". Or perhaps that really isn't something that Bush has bothered to think about. I can't decide which is worse.

When you click on the article, notice who's quoted. It's Lt. Col Steve Boylan. Remember him? I'm reasonably certain that's the same guy.
