2. I can't stand this

the deaths of all of these people because of lies and stupidity and greed and oil and insanity.

It is too much.

:cry:

I don't care what anyone says, these are just BOYS.

If Hastert stopped doing something in his youth at freaking 40 and idiotson stopped drinking in his youth at freaking 40 - what in the world are these moronic jerks doing killing these children?!???

And I am not discounting the absolute insidiousness of the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians.

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

3. This is what the American people voted for

and now the chickens are coming home to roost in an awful way, for all of us, no matter who we voted for.

5. Sorry, not true

The American people voted for Kerry.

Bushco stole it. 3 million fake votes

4. Holy fucking shit! I'm from napa!

9. I'm sorry!

I hope it wasn't anyone you or your sister knew. I know I was devastated when I found out my good highschool friend will never walk again, courtesy of BushCo.

6. 1247 dead, 126 this month

Does the American public even care? Nope.

:cry:

7. Over 10% of the deaths have been in the last month

Even though it's been 20 months since the Busholinis took us into this illegal invasion and (endless) occupation, the last month has seen death at double the rate of the last 20 months.

10. This is escalation of the offensive in the Iraq War and we

really don't know who we are fighting!!!

God Bless all those wonderful lads!!!

[Stand and Fight]

8. Jesus...

What a fucking quagmire this is in Iraq! When the hell are people going to drag this fucker Bush out of the White House!
:mad:

11. Your concern for their deaths clearly indicate your anti-american bias.

Don't you realize that any mention of human sacrifice is "offensive" and puts the war-on-terror in jeopardy?

If we don't know about them then they didn't happen and we can all sleep well knowing that "we are winning"
