3. "BRING EM ON" shouted the Lying AWOL CHIPANZEE

Back to work here-- looks like we need to keep working and

In that spirit let me MOCK the Religious Fundy Repukes.

Here you are scum ---- your new NATIONAL ANTHEM


Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
Forward into battle see His banners go!

Refrain

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.

At the sign of triumph Satan’s host doth flee;
On then, Christian soldiers, on to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
Brothers lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.

Refrain

[Terran]

4. Business as usual

;(

5. That's OK

The draft is coming, so all of these soldiers will be quickly replaced by the apathetic American youth.

8. But this is what the American people voted for

It's getting harder and harder for me to feel sorrow when these kinds of things happen. I wonder how many military people and their families voted to perpetuate this war. I'd really like to know.

9. Why should I care?

What's holding up my next tax cut? I want it NOW.

[War Pigs]

17. Agree. I'm in a position to be rewarded by the next round of giveaways

* has in mind. In a race to the bottom, those in the middle can end up looking pretty good. All this giving a fuck about those less fortunate than me is making my brain hurt. Oh yea, we'll be dead when our kids and grandkids realize how bad we fucked 'em.:puke:

10. Hungary Pulls Out

Another ally bites the dust -

Hungary announces Iraq pull-out

There are around 300 Hungarian troops in Iraq
Hungary will withdraw all of its 300 troops stationed in Iraq by the end of March 2005, the country's prime minister has said.
Ferenc Gyurcsany made the announcement at a military ceremony in the capital Budapest on Wednesday.

He said Hungary was obliged to keep its troops, who have a non-combat role, in Iraq until after elections in January.

There has been intense pressure from the public and opposition groups to pull them out.

The main conservative opposition party initially supported the war but changed its position and now favours withdrawal.

11. need to tell me how he voted if you want me to care n/t

[i_c_a_White_Ghost]

12. I wonder who he voted for if he voted at all

[telamachus]

13. Kick

hope Bush is happy today. f*** him

[durablend]

14. Who cares...

Just another lackey in the *co military machine...easily replaced.

[llmart]

15. If he or his family voted for Bush or didn't vote at all.....

then I don't care. Sorry. I really don't. Flame me if you wish, but I can't care.

I have talked with military families and we all have read about them here, and you can kill their children for oil but they'll still vote for him. So, you reap what you sow.

[Blue_Tires]

16. and the music goes on...

[RetroLounge]

18. Hope his parents didn't vote for bush

else then I say tough shit...

19. BFD.

I can't be bothered anymore. The majority of voters wanted this - it's their problem now - not mine.

[physioex]

23. I am sorry to say I agree.......EOM

[ezekiel333]

24. I agree

As a former Marine I kept faithful track of those who have been killed or wounded, including a online Marine Corps memorial for the last year and a half. Today I pulled it all down, the sheep have spoken and our choice of a proposed "leader" bailed out. Fuck them, this war, and every middle of the road "can't we just get along" waste of space in America.

Maybe when they start dying at the rate of hundreds a day someone will wake up, but at this point I doubt it. They are all enjoying their bread and circuses and if that is what they want then let them, they are not worth my time or tears. The deaths of the Iraqi people are on them.

Fuck the baby killing crusaders.

20. Unfortunately, there will be thousands more

The PNAC plan will really go into operation now. Iraq will look like a summer shower next to the storm coming in Iran.

[Shadder]

21. Good

Let the numbers pile up. Bring it on.

[The_Casual_Observer]

22. You know what? I don't care about this anymore.

I hope they don't even report these, why get upset about something that we can't do anything about?

[leftchick]

25. I agree and when the slaughter of Fallujah starts....

I won't read one word of it. I screamed about the Iraq insanity daily for months now. No more, no one cares. It is nothing but a fucking video game to those repuke freaks.

[Democracy Died 2004]

26. Vote Bush and DIe

I have been admonihsed for this before, but to preface what I say, please keep this in mind.

10 year veteran <with records to prove it unlike you know who>

They voted overwhelmingly in the military for Bush so die just die and get it over with. No sympathy here.

[saigon68]

27. I agree with you

At some point support for those Killers who simply join up to "Grease" a few "Rag heads" will stop.

It will get more problematic when the "draft" starts

[llmart]

28. I am with you.

I have no sympathy for them or their families. None. Can't even drum any up. Sorry. You asked for it; you got it.

[ellie]

29. I thought I was alone in feeling this way

Why the fuck should I care about them? I cared more about them then they did for themselves and they voted for smirky anyway. They made their bed, now they must lie in it.
