3. But..but..look at all the "good" they are doing there!
That's why they are so beloved by the Iraqi people who are depleting their supply of flowers just to show their appreciation. Just like Rumsfeld, Bush, and those cool generals said they would.

4. Not in my name!!
dammit, these children are dying and b*sh sent them with that smirk on his face. Sent brown skinned children to kill other brwon skinned children.

Why are we letting him take children from their parents to die? Why are we getting discouraged over the stupid polls from the right-wing media outlets like ABC, CBS, CNN and the Nazi Fox news? We need to forget about our setback like the hatefest in NY last week and start to hit the streets and tell people the truth.

Children were laughin in the streets of iraq only 2 years ago...now there is horror and schools and mosqes are being blown up because of the US!

7. Maybe JK needs to do a daily body count at every campaign appearance.
"We lost 7 more brave troops today in Iraq, 7 young Americans who were misled by pres * to their deaths. What is your response, Mr pres? Where is your exit strategy? When will the carnage end?"

My hear bleeds for their families.

6. I'd guess that makes seven more Labor Day BBQs that * will be avoiding.
No sense holding a photo op among grief-stricken friends and relatives.

10. I still care........
I talked to one of my son's high school buddies on Saturday. He's in the Guard and may be going to Iraq soon. It's sobering to think of that innocent kid eating pancakes at my house just a few short years ago facing the nightmare of Iraq. The feelings get even worse when I reflect that this kid is one of thousands just like him.

God..........

I'm pissed at Bush*.

12. Please, I keep asking everyone here to go back to April of 2003 in
Edited on Mon Sep-06-04 12:19 PM by anarchy1999
Fallujah. The day this protest happened was a very significant event. Everything that has happened since that day and all days afterward explains what is happening now. I looked at my husband, after monitoring the events as they unfolded throughout that day and many more subsequent days, described to him that our soldiers and the Iraqi people would be facing what is happening now. I feel really bad for knowing that day all of what is happening now in Fallujah would come to pass. I know exactly how I would feel if it was my town and I had been witness to many friends and acquaintances being wiped out and devasted. How would you feel? Smart Bombs and foreign terrorists, I don't think so.

I am just sick, beyond belief for what is happening there.

I just stumbled upon a new link for those of you who would like more info.
