My Daughter-in-Law Just Boarded a Plane to Iraq
I feel buried. Weighted down. Sinking. When is this going to end?

Why? Why? Why?

And Bush climbs in the polls. We really are meaningless, powerless people, aren't we? If only the Iraqi's appreciated their "liberation." All the world spins around such a small piece of real estate.

FUCK BUSH.

1. I pray for her safe return
I don't know what else to say except that I wish Bush could feel the pain of the people he has hurt...

3. Thank you, both. Yes, they have a four year old girl.
My son just returned from Afghanistan in February.

I'm sorry for the depressing post. I'm just feeling a little overwhelmed.

5. keep visualizing her. .
coming back healthy and whole and while your at it visualize Kerry & Clark taking their oaths on the steps of the Capital in January.

That's my only exit strategy.

Blessings to her in the meantime.

8. Thank you. I will.
And, thank you all for being here. It means a lot.

I'm going to lay down. She will come home, healthy and whole and Kerry will win. I only hope he stops sending our kids over there. I understand the "we broke it, we own it," but how much will we have to pay for it?

What a world.

13. she WILL come home, Michael will come home
We have to believe that. Every day. Some days you think you wont be able to get thru, some you do. Im so sorry your family has to go thru this hell. I dont wish it on anyone, and I have to believe Kerry will win and no other family has to live in this hell because of a draft.

7. I weep and pray several times a day for your daughter-inlaw and the others
And I'm fighting to bring them home. If there is anything else I can do, please ask.

9. I'll add her to my prayers for a safe return.
I'll add her to my prayers along with my prayers that Bush is OUT of the White House in Nov.

10. Same here - I pray the loved one's of DU'ers stay safe
Of course I hope all stay safe in Iraq and Afghanistan.

And we get that idiot out of the WH so once more the U.S. can be considered a friend, not a pariah.
