1. wouldn't "Task Force Islamist Regime" be more accurate...?

eom

[PunkPop]

2. Can't use that until the constitution is ratified.

The senseless killing and dying continues as Bush enters week 4 of his vacation.

11. "BRING EM ON" shouted the AWOL CHIMPANZEE

As the DRAFT DODGER prepared to FAWN at the feet of the VFW

"Who then cheered him on to kill more Islamic "RAG-HEADS"

[mike_c]

13. OMFG did he really say that during his VFW appearance?

"Bring 'em on?" That's utterly certifiably batshit insane.

3. The killing starts up again

For a few days there weren't any casualty reports, I always expect that the military is forting up during these times. Eventually though, they have to come out of whatever fort they're sitting in, then the killing starts fresh.
Why in the fuck don't we declare victory and slink the hell out of their country?

We've fucked it up beyond our capacity to repair, let's give them enough money to fix it back, let them form their own government, or continue the civil war they're in to it's natural conclusion.
There isn't any way this is going to end and they lived happily everafter.

4. And another thing

I get so fucking sick of watching these threads sink so damn fast, unless there large groups of amerikans killed at once, it seems like people even here just don't give a fat rat's ass.
It get's so very discouraging seeing a subject as important as this slip away.

[alcibiades_mystery]

5. What do you want people to say?

:shrug:

[catmandu57]

6. I don't care what they say

I'd like to come back in twenty minutes and see the thread still there, there are some assinine threads that seem to hang around for days, yet something as important as men and women dying for a tinhorn dictators lies doesn't get the respect it deserves.

[alcibiades_mystery]

7. I find that position strange

The thread may be seen by you as the place to "give respect," but that's not an obvious conclusion. In fact, tying the feeling people have for the troops to whether the thread remains on the front page sems exceedingly strange to me. I see no connection between the one and the other. Posting anything to keep the thread kicked even seems disrespectful, IMHO.

8. I am beyond rage...

It's hard for me to even give a name at the anger I feel for the destruction that Bush's War to Enrich His Cronies has caused. More and more lives lost; more and more lives ruined by horrible injuries; and soon, enslavement of our sisters in Iraq. The deaths, the injuries,that I'm speaking about are those sustained on both sides.

We have let this arrogant, incompetent brat ruin our country, and propel Iraq back to the Middle Ages as far as the rights of women go. We still don't have Osama, and are suffering mounting losses there, because fratboy was too obsessed by the thought of invading Iraq. More and more of us are falling into poverty, fewer and fewer of us have access to health care, and our schools are being targeted by ignorant bigots who want to scrap science for "intelligent design", and substitute Christian doctrine for what should be a quality education.

I hope that Smirk's poll numbers fall so low, that even members of his own party will cooperate in getting him impeached, and thrown out of office. All of the ones who have lied to us, including Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and the rest, should be made to stand trial at the Hague. I hope that Camp Casey becomes the central point in a change, one which will make all America aware of the liberties we have lost, and make all of us determined to pressure our politicians to get our troops out of Iraq, and Bush, Cheney, et at, out of power.

9. Impeachment and thrown out of office isn't good enough...

I want that little mother fucker taken to the Hague along with dick cheney and charged with war crimes.

[arcane1]

10. take them to the Hague, and charge and execute the whole cabal

if I may say so without getting my post deleted :)

[saigon68]

12. Don't Forget "FREEDOM IS ON THE MARCH"

</sarcasm>

[Skittles]

14. "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED", saigon

OMG it is Vietnam all over again

[saigon68]

17. Yes Its Iraq-Nam-- War, Mayhem and Pestilence

Without End.

As the rich sit in their gated communities, drinking Dom Perrignon.

And Iraqi Children eat scraps of food from the garbage cans of the American restaurants, mess halls and military clubs.

[Skittles]

20. I remember the nightly body counts when I was a kid

I remember they made me feel ill.....I have the same feeling now when I hear about the casualties. I get so irritated when I hear that tired old line WE ARE FIGHTING THEM THERE SO WE DON'T HAVE TO FIGHT THEM HERE - dear GOD only an idiot could buy that piece of shit logic

[deadparrot]

15. RIP.

...

[UpInArms]

16. please, can no more die for this

dreadful maladministration?

:cry:

[alcibiades_mystery]

21. another 15 americans and 200 iraqis

will buy it in this conflagration before the month is out.

[pfitz59]

18. Where's Shrub's next vacation stop?

His "own private Idaho"? I'm sure he won't be visiting Wallace, where the streams are so acidic from mine runoff that they've killed all life for miles!

19. "Taskforce Liberty," what an Orwellian name!

What did Bush say today about having to stay in Iraq in order to justify the dead?
