Tony Snow writes a letter to Mrs. 2498

[ticapnews]

Dear Mrs. Estrella 2498,

The Department of Defense regrets to inform you that your son number 2498 was killed subtracted on June 14 in Al Anbar province in Iraq. Your son Number 2498 performed admirably under very stressful conditions. It may bring you some solace to know that the other men numbers in his unit admired and respected your son number 2498 and looked to him it as a source of inspiration.

The sacrifice your son number 2498 made for this country will be remembered forever until {insert rank} 2499 is killed in Iraq on {insert date}.

Yours truly,

Tony Snow

1. Fix the "numbers in his unit" to "its unit" to complete this.

Just a number, indeed. :puke:

6. So I guess the new GOP bumpersticker slogan will be

"We support the numbers!"

Maybe the symbol can be a yellow ribbon tied around an Excel spreadsheet...

2. How sad ... but so true...

And the news out of Iraq a little while ago that two Troops somehow "went missing" today.. while a 3rd one was killed.

Wow. I hope the two missing troops turn up today SAFE and ALIVE!!!!

3. I believe that his "just a number" remark is quite possibly one of

the most offensive I have heard from anyone in this administration. It just shows how much support and respect they really have for the men and women who are serving in Iraq or anywhere else, for that matter.

8. There have been a couple of those that stand out...

The president saying he wouldn't meet with Cindy because "It's important for me to get on with my life."

And later the president addressing wounded soldiers in an army hospital in Texas, saying he knew how they felt because he had gotten a cut on his eye while clearing brush at his "ranch."

Amazing.

4. So true! They're not really pro-life.

And I had a call yesterday from the Pro-life organization... Representing Steven King (KS). I should have said, "oh..you're not pro-life you support the war..." but they hung up on me as soon as I didn't sound happy to hear from them.

I don't live in KS so if you do please donate to Steven King's opponent. They're trying to nationalize this election.

7. Where is Patrick Mc Goohan when we need him?

Just think of him saying "I AM NOT A NUMBER, I AM A FREE MAN" to Mr. FOX PAUS Snow...
