4. And the Bush Regime
has yet to admit to the casualties at the Camp Falcon.

God knows how many died there!

:mad:

5. And stupid fuck Bush talks about "winning the war"
The war where he declared "mission accomplished" over 3 years ago.

The soon-to-be longest overseas war in our history.

The biggest failure in US history.

10. Mr_Spock
"The biggest failure in US history."
Brought to us by the worst president in US history. The absolute worst.

6. Sadly, the second highest monthly total of Bush's "stay the course". Despicable...
Edited on Sat Oct-28-06 11:25 PM by LaPera
Imperialism!

With three days left in October, let's pray it doesn't become the highest total since BushCo's illegal invasion of Iraq. (A "Sovereign" nation)!

Slimy lying greedy pigs!

9. Tony Snow is a Disney Animatron, I swear. He's just a robot that
was collecting dust in Orlando (I think he was one of the President Animatrons) and they tweaked him for the WH. That's why his range is so limited.

8. How do the republicans say the "war" is going well with a straight face?
Edited on Sun Oct-29-06 01:00 AM by GreenTea
As our kids keep dying.

For what, a civil war BushCo created?

How do the republican thieves sleep at night!

11. and over 21,000 maimed and wounded US. troops sacrifice for their freedom?
how many think america still has the freedoms it's known say...10-15 years ago??

They would allow us to believe we were at least getting fair and honest elections but not with this current administration, dictatorship has come to the US. and it's name is George W. Bush.

12. and PLEASE let us not forget the Iraqis who have died . . .
men, women, children . . . in numbers that may well exceed a half million . . .

when the "collateral damage" of a "war" is over 200 times the level of military casualties, something is very, very wrong . . . both are unspeakable tragedies, but the epic scale of Iraqi civilian deaths is truly mind-numbing . . . and horrifying . . .

can such a war ever be just? . . . ever????

when such a war is initiated, can it be anything other than an international war crime? . . . can it be anything other than a crime against humanity? . . .

or (in the real world) can it be anything other than both? . . .

13. Bush will have our soldiers locked up in the green zone to prevent the number going to 100
and prevent it from breaking the all time record. Of course...after the election he'll open the doors and let them out to be killed. He won't give a damn after the election.

14. People reduced to numbers.
Each of them had lives, were individuals with aspirations, families, friends, laughter, sadness, follies, triumphs.

The 99 dead this month, the thousands dead since the start. And, 655,000 dead Iraqis who had all of the same.

All for the ambitions of politicians and generals.

“What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy.” - Gandhi

They sleep quite well, as do most Sociopaths.

17. Ammo dump included?
Does this number include that ammo dump explosion? I thought the Pentagon wasn't releasing numbers on that. But unless that places was run by robots, it's hard to see how there couldn't have been casualties there.

A reminder, I'm not rooting for a higher number, but I certainly smell a rat in that they'd try to cap the already miserably high number before the election...

18. No I don't think so
the official Pentagon word on Falcon Forward is ZERO deaths - which is VERY HARD to believe - the internets rumor number is 300. So the American death toll for October could be over 400 for all we know.

I HATE THESE PEOPLE
