9. RIP Troops. More unnecessary deaths.
Isn't it amazing how republicans claim our troops want to stay in Iraq until the "job is done" (whatever that means). I'm still military and I don't know one soldier that was ever in combat that didn't want to be someplace else. Maybe they are talking about the generals that never leave the Green Zone. The troops that have to go out into town on a regular basis want to come home NOW! But the republicns want the war to go on forever because their client corporations are making a LOT of money. A LOT of that money returns to republican coffers too.

Republicans will never end this war. I'm starting to wonder if the Democrats will either. It will probably be WE THE PEOPLE that ends this war by taking to the streets.

Morale in our military is rock bottom, thanks to the incompetent leadership of Bush and Rumsfeld. I've been military for a long time and I've always been a liberal. I hope my fellow troops that formerly supported Bush have learned a lesson. The republicans consider you cannon fodder for their wars for corporate profits.

Bush cowtows to dictators and ignores the American People.


This tragedy will continue until we destroy the corporate cabal and punish them for their crimes.
