Sixteen Hundred Gallons Of American Blood

[benburch]

It will likely happen some time tomorrow; The 800th American Soldier will be killed in the continuing disaster in Iraq.



Since the average human body has two gallons of blood, that is 1600 gallons of human blood spilled in a reckless, useless, illegal, and immoral war.

To put this in some perspective, this is a 1600 gallon farm trailer;



The killing of our young men and reservists by this unelected "president" is on an industrial scale now.

Of course, this is dwarfed by the 11000 Iraqi civilian dead. That's 22,000 gallons of precious human blood spilled.

That is slightly more than would fit in this maximum-sized 20,000 gallon rail car;



When will this end? When be FORCE it to end. Which we must.

5. I said before any hostilities commenced

Before the first shot was fired on the ground in Iraq, I said Saddam was a pimple, not worth one drop of American blood. He was totally impotent, totally bottled up in his little terrarium of Iraq.

But no, Stupidhead had his war hardon. And we're filling up tanks and railroad cars with blood. We've emptied our Treasury. This year we're spending half a trillion dollars more than we took in. We spend more than a billion dollars every day (yes, that counts Sundays and holidays) on the American wehrmacht, and the generals complain that we aren't spending enough.
