BRING THEM HOME

[frogcycle]

These are the US troops killed since the Iowa Caucus. This does not address those maimed, nor those further fucked up in the head. Nor does it address the Iraqis killed as a result of our continuing presence.

Rightly or wrongly, we have narrowed the choices for a replacement for gwb. It seems that nothing will stop this as long as he is in office. Unlike the 2006 election, in which the dems sent to DC could only do so much "without the votes," the next pres will be CinC at noon on Jan 20 2009. He/she can fix this starting that afternoon. I don't give a rats ass any more which one gets the nomination - they had just better damned well beat that republican motherfucker and BRING THEM HOME. it is job one, and they had better fucking do it.

That is all.
