1. The American public doesn't care

and obviously few other people care... these threads sink like rocks.

RIP troops. I care even if Bush doesn't.

2. Wow, these posts don't get much attention, do they?

I'm not indicting DU about this, I just think it's sad. They get almost no attention in the media either.

:cry:

3. But the Runaway Bride did something today

and we all have to talk about her instead, right?

4. It really sucks

but what can you say - it is really the responsibility of the republicans and war cheerleaders to comment in my mind - they are the ones who sent these people to their deaths for a lie - we were the ones screaming against it - and we were called "anti-American" and soldier haters. So most of us have done our speaking, nothing more left to say except if I were a soldier in Iraq - I'd be throwing down my rifle and heading home.

After all - their pResident set the example by skipping out on his duties - along with all the other chickenhawks who when it was their turn, turn tail and ran.

5. And who knows how many wounded/maimed,

both mentally and physically. And let's not even mention the Iraqis who've been killed or wounded, who live among rubble, often without *clean* water or electricity, and who live in fear of both the coalition forces and the "insurgents".

Far too many lives wasted or ruined because of OilLust.
