I think I'm going to be sick
I just saw some footage of our soldiers in Iraq. One showed them crawling out of a tank covered in blood. God, these poor people. What the hell? How can Bu$h justify this misuse and mistreatment of American soldiers? God, I feel sick inside. All this suffering of our troops who are supposed to be defending our liberty, and they're stuck in that sand trap fighting guerillas, trying to protect an group of people who are shooting at them.

God, I feel so sick.

2. The third mistake
Edited on Sat Apr-10-04 10:27 AM by BeFree
America's leaders screwed up big time when they declared war on Joe Koran.

For now, our teenage soldiers and many more Iraqi innocents are paying the price. Come November, our leaders will pay.

Little solace, I know, but it is history repeating itself. Our job is to make sure we write a new book, a book of peace for the future historians to record.

5. You didn't know?
This is what happens every day in Iraq, no wait every hour !!! Our young people watch this every day of the week. Either their fellow soldiers or Iraqis, babies, old people young children.Sometimes its them. I am always amazed when we as Americans get a tiny, tiny glimpse of what is endured and are horrified as though we have witnessed the only event of its kind that has occurred.

Sorry, It is just hard to fathom that we are so insular that this kind of thing shocks us. We seem to not even identify with all the other broken bloody dying people we see on TV, but one of our own and suddenly it is reality.

6. Keep praying for our troops while we work to liberate ALL of us from the
tyranny of this Chimperial imbecile...the mayor of London had it right when he called the boy-king the biggest threat to life on this planet....

7. Hang in there Orion
:hug:

this is gonna be an ugly couple weeks (only a couple if we're lucky) and it may be more than some can take. Get out and away from the TV when you need to, and come here when you need a shoulder to lean on.
