2. Start a new pile!

Grass Bush

Pile the bodies high in Austerlitz and Waterloo Iraq
Shovel them under and let me work--
I am the grass; bush; I cover all.

And pile them high in Gettyburg Baghdad
And pile them high in Ypres and Vedum Mossoul and Al Fallaujah

Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:
What place is this?

I am the grass bush.
Let me work.

3. I blinked - it was 2400 and now 2405

I am so sorry for this and all the other losses of lives, futures, families that have been caused by the lies and evil agenda of this maladministration and its cronies in crime.

:(

4. Sad but glad he's no longer toting a machine gun.

I know some people feel the military are not bushbots, but I don't agree with you. If they don't agree with bushes policys, they need to stop enforcing them.

8. HOW MANY MORE GEORGIE, HOW MANY MORE?

Until the philosophy,
Which holds one race superior
And another inferior,
Is finally and permanently
Discredited and abandoned,
Everywhere is war.

WAR

Until there is no longer first class
Or second class citizens of any nation.
Until the color of a man's skin,
Is of no more significance than
The color of his eyes,
I've got to say "war".

WAR

That until the basic human rights,
Are equally guaranteed to all,
Without regard to race,
I'll say "war"

Until that day the dream of lasting peace,
World-citizenship and the rule of
International morality will remain
Just a fleeting illusion to be pursued,
But never obtained.
And everywhere is war.

Until the ignoble and unhappy regime
Which holds all of us through,
Child-abuse, yeah, child-abuse yeah,
Sub-human bondage has been toppled,
Utterly destroyed,
Everywhere is war.

War in the east,
War in the west,
War up north,
War down south,
There is war,
And the rumors of war.

Until that day,
the african continent will know no peace
There is no continent,
Which will know peace.

Children, children.

Fight!

We find it necessary.
We know we will win.
We have confidence in the victory
Of good over evil
Of good over evil

Fight the real enemy!

15. God this just keeps getting worse.

I was talking to a Vietman era vet the other day, he never went but his peers did. Was telling me stories his friends told him. Horrible things. The dead never return and the living continue to suffer. This is such bullshit.
May you rest in peace.

Salem – A local Marine was killed this week in Iraq when the Humvee he was riding in hit a landmine, family members said today.

Lance Corporal Robert Moscillo, 21, a 2003 graduate of Salem High School, was the only Marine killed in the incident, according to his sister, Sandra. Family members said today they don’t have many details about the incident yet, which occured early Tuesday, Iraq time.

<snip>

Moscillo was sent to Iraq earlier this year after joining the Marines last February, his sister said.

He is the son of Frank and Donna Moscillo, who are divorced and live in Beverly, Mass., and Salem, respectively.

18. Not sure what # he was but...

Today's Newsday has the story of Jose Gomez from Corona, Queens who was killed in Iraq last weekend. He joined the army in 2000 to raise money for a college education. Met his finance at Fort Hood, She was killed in Iraq on Oct. 1 2003. He finished his tour and he decided not to re-enlist in 2004 when his term was up. He left active duty and returned home. In 2005, he was recalled from reserve status and sent back to Iraq. (Found out on a Thursday and had to go on Monday). He didn't tell his mother that he was going back to Iraq so she wouldn't worry - he told her that he was going to school in Texas. "It was only when the two soldiers came to the apartment to tell her that her son was dead that she learned the truth."

Heartbreaking....
