Obey: No One Left to Kill in Iraq

House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey, has a new explanation for falling civilian deaths in Iraq. Y'see, terrorists "are running out of people to kill," because "there are fewer targets of opportunity."

Obey must have missed it when 3,000+ families returned to the Baghdad neighborhoods they abandoned because of violence.

Obey just wasn't watching when Ramadi held a parade celebrating their opposition to Al Qaida and insurgents.

Obey somehow thinks that in a country of 27 million people there are no "targets of opportunity."

What an idiot.

Also: Obey is still talking about his Iraq War tax and persists in blaming Republicans for stalling appropriations bills. This, after he combined the bloated HHS bill with the veterans' affairs bill so as to hold off Republican efforts to trim the thing.
