Imagine the families of the soldiers in Iraq watching the 60 Minutes piece

[Skittles]

damn, it's gotta hurt.

1. Oh, it has to.

Sad :-(

2. I cannot imagine...

Going through having to send a family member away, and then hearing that it wasn't for the reasons stated. Although that would depend on who you believe was lying on the show, I suppose. *hugs* to all those who are out there and going through this...

3. The Troops...

still did a good job, even though the chimp misused them. I hope they keep that in mind, when their kids grow up and learn the truth about this war.

4. imagine the 9/11 families having a glimmer that if Gore had been

President, their families might still be together. That
the little puke who stood on the ashes of their families
was the man who let them die. Imagine having signed away
your right to SUE EVERYONE for the settlement fund.

Imagine...

5. I thought of all the families

of the dead soliders and the victims of 9/11. When Clarke was telling us what was going on inside the WH, I felt like someone punched me in the gut. Yeah, I already knew most of this but to have it validated was really not a pleasant experience for me.
I can only imagine how it felt for them.

10. I know what you mean Corgigal

I can't even feel any joy watching this "president" get slammed because of the price that has been paid - the price that is still being paid.

6. UK war parents so disgusted with Blair they want to emigrate.

Ann Lawrence and her husband George are planning to emigrate. Almost exactly a year ago, they lost their only son during the Iraq war. They believe they have now given Britain enough.

Marc Lawrence died on 22 March - two days after the invasion began - one of six Royal Navy officers and an American killed when their two Sea King helicopters crashed head-on, in bitterly contested circumstances.

Since then the Lawrences' grief has hardened into anger, and their dreams of eventually retiring to southern France have become concrete plans. They are now convinced that Marc's life was wasted on an "unjust" war - and have accused Tony Blair of doing so in writing.

<snip>

The Lawrences are convinced the war is about Iraqi and Middle Eastern oil reserves, not democracy. "There are other regimes which are just as terrible in this world, but we're not so worried about them. Presumably because they've not got oil," said Mrs Lawrence. Mr Lawrence, speaking at the couple's home in the small Kent town of Westgate on Sea, added: "Blair and Bush are two mischievous boys taking sticks and disturbing an ants' nest, and the ants are going to fight back."

8. It's heartbreaking.

Several years ago McNamara (architect of the Vietnam lie) was on a panel about the Vietnam War, that was televised by C-Span.

There was great hostility expressed towards him, & this after 30 years. He had admitted in his book, that he knew for a long time we could not win in Vietnam, yet the troops kept being sent off to war.

Well, McNamara was suprised at the hostility he encountered. Brian Lamb has said this was 1 of the most amazing shows ever on C-Span.

I am mystified by these men who send our young off to unwinnable wars, based on flawed geopolitical goals. Not to mention the countries that are devastated by these policies. I wonder how they sleep at night.

9. McNamara was surprised?

So he's been sleeping guilt-free all these years?

Wish I'd seen that show.
