[babylonsister]

2. Thanks, leftchick. I wish there was a place we could send

this to our Commander In Chief. This is a thread he should see. Too bad us Americans can't communicate honestly.

[leftchick]

4. Photo of the asshat** from the same yahoo gallery

It is a sin they put his lying ass face anywhere near these dead marines.

:puke:



President Bush lamented the deaths of 14 Marines in Iraq calling the deadly attack a 'grim reminder' America is still at war, as he addressed the American Legislative Exchange Council meeting in Grapevine, Texas, near Dallas, Wednesday, Aug. 3, 2005. The ALEC brings together over 2,400 state legislators from all fifty states. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)

[MnFats]

31. calling the deadly attack a 'grim reminder' America is still at war, huh?"

How the hell would you know, Mr. Bush? Just how the hell would you know?
Like a vampire you flee from having light shine on your war crimes.
Fuck you, Mr. Bush. Fuck you oh so righteously, Fuck you.

[yellerpup]

42. His ugly, arrogant mug is the grim reminder. eom

[Zech Marquis]

3. very very sad

21 Marines, killed not defending our freedom, but in the name of enriching Halliburton's bank accounts and the outright lies from * and the * loving MSM. God bless all of the victims, and may karma be a total bitch on those responsible for causing all of this suffering.

[Booster]

6. Amen, brother.

[leftchick]

21. I could not have said it better than that

what a waste.

[noamnety]

5. Thank you for taking the time to post these (nt)

10. My nephew is a Marine

1 year out of boot camp. He thinks he is heading for engineering school. I highly doubt it.

Thank you for your service.

[Mnemosyne]

17. Thanks for all annarbor!

:patriot:

We all must remember these faces, so very young. :cry:

[greblc]

8. Semper Fi....

Peace.

[CBHagman]

9. Thank you for posting the faces and the names.

It truly is a sadness beyond words.

Lyrics from a song in the antiwar musical "Shenandoah" come to mind every time I see the photographs of the dead: "The faceless have names; they're Jacob and James, Robert and Anne, all our daughters and sons, every one."

[Ilsa]

11. Thanks for posting these.

I've saved them and copied them to another site to give my thread there about the fourteen more bite, as if it wasn't enough.

These poor families. Those poor young men who have lost their futures. Bless them all.

[Rex]

12. Hey lurking trolls

Look at these people! They had lives, families, plans! Now NOTHING because they are DEAD. DEAD.

Thank your "Leader" assholes, he KILLED THEM. KILLED THEM. KILLED THEM.

:mad:

[XOKCowboy]

26. Hey!!

He said today that he "lamented" their deaths on the way to his vacation. What more can you ask? Being president is HARD WORK after all. All that lamenting.... Poor guy.

[TheModernTerrorist]

32. and clearing brush

at his ranch, I'd imagine.

[leftchick]

37. yes this blood is on the aWol asshole's hands...

and the idiot freeper feaks who support him. :grr:

13. Brook Park, OH joins Bedford VA

"Company "A" of the 116th Infantry Regiment,...loss of 22 of Bedford's favorite sons in Normandy; a toll that gave the small Virginia hamlet the painful distinction as suffering the highest per capita loss of any American home town"

I read reports like this and weep for the families, and the loss to the country and humanity of fine young men & women who prove every day their patriotism and courage.

Hang in there and keep your head down for another 365 days, the BFEE will surely declare victory in August/Sept 2006 and bring the troops home in their bid to retain control of the congress

[jbnow]

15. I have to recommend this because

we need to face the faces. These living faces of those who are lost are almost more devastating then the horrible pictures of the dead.

The twinkle in the eyes of Cpl. Edward Schroeder, that pensive gaze of Cpl. Timothy Michael Bell Jr and so on...are just haunting. Edward should be teasing his little sister, Michael should be gazing at something lovely. They should not be there and they should not be dead.

We need a military, people willing to defend the nation and sometimes soldiers die. It is always heart breaking. But it should be for a higher cause, a just war, those times are thankfully rare. It should never be for a farce, a greedy agenda.

Sorry kids...and all the grieving loved ones. (On both sides)

[leftchick]

19. Cpl. Schroeder really breaks my heart

damn....

[FreedomAngel82]

16. RIP...

Damn this war and George Bush to hell. :mad: I hope their families find peace and comfort with their loved ones still here. :cry:

[countingbluecars]

18. I keep coming back to this thread

to look at these young men who have died. I am so sad and angry. I hate Bush for this war based on lies.

[Catherine Vincent]

20. Such good looking young men gone now.

Because of Bush. How sad.

[ClayZ]

43. It is just plain HORRIBLE

I has to stop!





Swords to Ploughshares

[LibDemAlways]

22. I saw the father of one of these marines on tv

today, and he said his son signed up in response to 911, and he was proud of his son for fighting the 911 terrorists. He actually still believes that Iraq was responsible, and, so, apparently, did his son.

[lonestarnot]

23. All for lies!

:cry:

[samsingh]

24. they had so much to live for.

i hate bush and his evil idiots.

25. they had so much to live for.

i hate bush and his evil idiots.

[Freedomfried]

27. And a Iraq veteran Marine can't even win an election back home

In the state that took the heavy death toll this week.

Republicans would pimp their Mothers for their party.

Pitiful cockroaches!

[PittLib]

46. I keep thinking the same thing ...

I wonder if it would have shifted, had the election been held a week later ... this hits home way too hard. I imagine the bluer parts of Ohio are cursing the south.

[Pachamama]

28. Why? Why? Why?

:cry:

Why did these young men have to die.....

This war is so WRONG!

I cry for their families and our country....a war that is a lie and these lives sacrificed so that the Corporate masters of this administration get rich while raping the Iraqi people of their resources....

[roguevalley]

29. they will always be young and beautiful. this makes me feel so old

I am so very sorry for these people and their loved ones. God bless them all.

[Solly Mack]

33. .

[friesianrider]

34. God, I started balling at the first photo.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I am so sorry to their families that we did not do more to stop this war already. May they all rest in eternal peace, and may the good Lord keep their souls. These photos reminded me of my friend, Mikey...almost been a year now since he was killed in Iraq. (I miss you, buddy!)

[annabanana]

38. hugs

:grouphug:
sorry for your loss..

[malmapus]

41. Yeah, I'm workin hard to hold back

Some of those pictures remind me of photos my buddies and I would take on our deployments.

Really tryin to hold back

47. Jeffery Boskovitch had set the date for his wedding on Saturday

"When Cpl. Jeff Boskovitch returned from Iraq, he had a lot of planning to do for his Oct. 14, 2006, wedding.

Boskovitch, 25, of North Royalton, set the date with his fiancee, Shelly Tevis of Brunswick, when they spoke on Saturday.

An aspiring police officer, Boskovitch was a role model for his 42 cousins and a driven Marine, family members said.

"He had the biggest heart in the world," said his uncle, Dan Boskovitch. "He was just a great kid."

The members of the sniper unit were close, his uncle said. Boskovitch declined a promotion because he wanted to stay with the unit. "
