10. This is what we at CNN like to call the "single fisted administration
propaganda jerk-off"

Someone should tell that other guy that flak vests and brooks brothers together are a MAJOR fashion faux pas.

15. Shut the Fuck up People!!!
This is nothing to laugh at. These people have put themselves in harms way because they believe in what they're doing.

I hate this fucking war more than most; but I can't stand for people mocking our troops. Get a friggin' life; and when you do -- be sure to note how your behavior only fed the preconception that those who hate the war also hate the troops!

Grow the fuck up!! God, I'm so pissed off!!!

17. Actually she is a reporter
Hopefully she is attempting to report what is actually going on there. But I understand your point.

PS, don't assume that all the troops believe in what they are doing over there. Do they have a choice? Peace.

18. I get your point as well...
Many have died under the ironically titled "Stop Loss;" and unfortunately there's probably more to lose their lives in order to stop the loss of personnel (it gets more paradoxical as I write).

No, we don't have an all volunteer military any more -- and this fact only makes it even more essential that disgust for the war must never be transfered to the people doing their jobs on the ground.

I'm still fuming over this thread :grr: :grr: :grr:

19. A buddy's son is over there
He joined the National Guard to protect people and properties after hurricanes, etc. He is on his second tour in Iraq. When my friend saw Bush joking about "Nope, no WMD's under my desk" he could have gone through the roof. Already the kid has given up his fireman's academy slot, has two little kids who he hardly knows....it is disgraceful.

22. I saw the video of Bush looking for WMD in the Oval Office...
...looks under the desk, "Well, no WMD's there!" ...and so on.

The very principals who sold this war (based on their own conspiracy theory) are now asking that facts be considered "revisionist." How fucking convoluted is this?!

This miscreant nest of vipers occupying D.C. rewrote our Constitution (which they oathed to defend) to read that it's OK to invade other countries if it suits our national interest.

When our Constitution was written, our founding fathers had just defeated the world's most powerful empire. This is the document that the president & vice-president swear to uphold on the Bible.

These empowered radicals have made a joke of most everything we've stood for for 200 years.

Treason is not too strong a word.

Scroll up & see in #22 where I posted:
