The deaths occurred in the southern province of Zabul, which has seen regular attacks by Islamic militants including remnants of the ousted Taliban and the al Qaeda network.

3. Exactly
And when Kerry takes over and continues this war of madness he can simply blame bush for starting it instead of he himself stopping it.

4. Care to let me look into your crystal ball for a minute there?
I want to know what winning lotto numbers will be pulled tonight? Or does it just know what Kerry will do next January? Is that you Ralph?

11. Are you quoting Kerry when you say...
..."he will kill them there terraists right quick"? Because if you are I would like to see it in context. Where did you happen to see that quote? Thanks in advance.

13. Yes, but apparently
you don't since you haven't heard Kerry take any stands, maybe you need to listen to him instead of repukelican lies put out by the likes of Limpburger and his ilk.

2. It brings to mind the recent conversation I had with a person who
Edited on Sat May-29-04 05:48 PM by Marianne
told me her son was in Iraq. I said that we should bring them all home. She said that he was so proud to be there.

and when I read headlines like this, I hope of all hopes that it was not her son who is now dead, his pride to defend our "freedoms", which has mnothing to do with his service in Afganistan. Bush has let these soldiers down by ignoring Afganistan that we bombed to bits, and killed so many of their people who just happened to be born in that could not have had a say at all about Bin Laden, or the Taliban of any of it.

Bush has done nothing but kill and kill. He loves to kill. He loves that image of himself as a tough cowboy killer. This is his fantasy and his perversion, I am convinced. It began early in his childhood, and was evident while he was Governor of Texas where he executed an inordinate amount of people without bothering to review a single case that was on death row. He cruelly mimicked a woman who begged him to spare her life in a public interview.

He delighted, apparently, in having the power of death over her. This is what turns him on. and apparently it turns on the frump, as she is so intent upon supporting her man by appearing on the balcony and seeing him off on one of his trips. Ugh--this is insulting to American women.
Does she also with adoration in her eyes, watch him shave in the morning?

Now, am I the only one that cannot make sense of where here right arm is and where her left arm is? There seems to be some sort of a disconnect in that photo. I cannot find where her arms are connected to her body. Here is the photo of the beloved husband who is being waved off to war, waving back at his Juliet on the balcony.

What a bad piece of acting on both their parts.





I heard that Dallas Texas has the highest rate of murder in the country. If that is true, it would seem that all of that killing of prisoners has not been a deterrent at all to others. That may be a good argun=ment against the death penalty, because I think that Bush the one who gets off on killing others, killed more than four hundred of them.

It would also cause me to think that if Bush were still governor, he would recommend, absolutley without a thought, recommend pre-emptive killing of those in that state who "might" commit a murder somewhere down the line. That would certainly be consistent with the Bush doctrine. He would love to do it.

I am, surprised that Jeb has not done this.

6. The hand on the left
The hand on the left doesn't belong to Pickels but to someone standing to her right.

Of course, I would be surprised to discover that Pickles was a hydra.
