Don’t forget that the governor of LA is a Republican now.
Just like what they did with the Iraq Liberation-they calculated that they'd gain a seat in Congress for every 100 American deaths. That's why the Dem Congressmen and Congressnags were saying the war is lost, we're in a quagmire, etc....to encourage the Saddam Loyalists, al-Quearda, and Mookie Sadr's Shi-its to kill more Americans.
