1. I only get more and more depressed everytime I hear about this.

In fact, some days I nealry feel like crying because of what a bad decision going to war was and how many good and promising lives have been wasted.

2. Geez.

But he or she will not be given the diginity of having his or her return to American soil noted on film. Now why the hell is that?

3. BRING EM ON (Let me answer your Question)

Because the Neocons and War Criminals--Wolfman, Rumdumb, Cheney and the Chimp,

Believe the press lost Viet-Nam by showing body bags, corpses and metal coffins.

The stupid amerikan people got their asses in a tizzy and demanded the war end. If it wasn't for these distractions, we could still be fighting the Viet-Nam War and WINNING according to this logic.



edit: spelling( my 3rd grade teacher would be proud of me today)

5. hey man, I'm glad you made it back from 'Nam

6. Why not fight for this?

I mean, put it this way:

"These young men and women had the courage to die with honor for their country and now their sacrifice is being kept from the American people who are not allowed to see them return to their native land."


This could be a compelling argument politically forcing the administration to give the respect to the fallen . . . to have them filmed on their return. With somber and fitting respect.

7. Hope you are enjoying your vacation/campaign Mr. Bush*

while our troops are dying every day. But they don't count, right? Because they are dead. Shame on them for dying. Shame on them for getting wounded. <heavy sarcasm>

Meanwhile, in a busy outdoor market in western Baghdad, U.S. troops clashed with Iraqi rioters for several hours. Assailants threw a hand grenade into a busy market in Abu Ghraib, injuring two military policeman from the 1st Armored Division who were on patrol, a military spokeswoman said. After U.S. reinforcements arrived to look for the attackers, young boys threw stones, protests ensued, and people held up photos of Hussein and chanted "God is greatest."

It's a digrace the media doesn't follow up and tell the American people exactly what type of 'injuries'! Surely these are Media Whores following Bush. Adm. orders. It's purposely reported as an 'injury' to make the American people think it's not big deal. 'Just a scratch'. At least it blew their ear drums out. How would you like to live the rest of your life deaf, Mr. J.Q. Empathetic Moral American?

ps. I don't believe the photo on this link.

Look at it. They're dress very nicely. You can see tanks and a soldiers crouched down, (with automatic weapons.) I don't believe the Iraqi people are stupid. I don't believe 'looters' would be ignoring that area.

I think those are Iraqis hired as spies/plain-clothed policemen.
