7. This strikes home even more for me.

I am willing to bet that one of the 4 mentioned here are a fellow DUer's brother who was killed yesterday. This is so disturbing, I don't even know this person yet I feel like I lost a brother. Sad. My Brother-In-Law was just sent back to Iraq. He was sent home after my sister died from a brain tumor, they just sent him back into Iraq, now my nieces have no parent at home. FUCK THIS ADMINISTRATION. I am so fucking fed up with this shit!!!!

Someone needs to get these pricks (ie. Bushites) out of the White House and soon. Can you say REVOLUTION my friends????
