1. I only became a parent a couple of years ago, but it absolutely kills me
to see images like the one of the woman huddled with her children. There's blood on the shirt of one of the kids, too.

It just makes me want to cry....seriously. How can we justify doing this stuff to innocent people and then DARE to announce to the world that we are doing God's work?

2. For a second please hold me
http://www.bushflash.com/year.html WATCH THIS VIDEO only takes 3 minutes

Enveloped in a sentiment,
A sound that rushes over me.
Engage an impulse to pretend
I have a faith as pure.
Not forgetting what it means to dream.
Indulging everything.
Entertaining thoughts that I've the strength
Of those I yearn to be.
Cheers and tribute greet the saviours.
Reckless thoughts survive.
Anachronistic and impulsive.

And what will happen?
Will I dream?
I am too scared to close my eyes.
For a second please hold me.
None can change in me these things that I believe.
But I don't know what happens now.
I am too scared to close my eyes.

Legion
Vnv Nation

6. MikeBowlerBishop, these are your words?
Very good, thanks so much


Talking Points Lyrics:

Don't you know it's time to be free; Won't you lend a hand
Won't you show the world your outrage; Won't you take a stand

I call 'em a racist, cuz they just can't face this,
Everyone seems so blind.
I call em a racist, cuz they just can't face this,
Every child's been left behind.

All our rights are treaded on.
All our rights may soon be gone.
Civil Rights just don't belong,
Treated like some political pawn.

So don't pretend that it is all fine,
Or you may end up on the unemployment line.
While your job gets reassigned,
To some Malaysain kid who's just pushin nine.

I'm a man of many talents,
So let me break it down all "Fair" and "Balanced".
I hope I blow the roof right off this joint,
Cuz I'm bustin' out my "Talking Points".

(chorus)
First they planned and then they lied about the WMDs.
Then they dropped bombs, killed Dads and Moms, and many more Iraqis.
Then they vacationed as the Nation's children went off to war.
How many more of our kids must die for a barrel of oil?
A hundred billion spent to kill them, meanwhile millions are still,
Left here jobless, while they rob all our civil rights at will.
It's time to MOVE ON and improve on the red white and the blue,
I'll keep it "Pithy". Are you with me? These talking points are true! Uh-Oh

It's not too late. It's not too late.

When it's time to judge my soul,
When it's time to pay that toll.
I know that at least,
I was one who stood for peace,
And I know that on that day,
When I finally have my say,
The whole world will hear me,
Cuz I'm gonna shout it!

Gonna tell my mother,
Gonna tell my brtoher,
If we help each other,
we can make a change!

(Chorus)...

I call em a liar, cuz they preach to the choir,
And "Spin" their words like a top.
I call em a liar, cuz they just never tire,
Of spewing their propaganda non-stop.

Everyday it's the same 'ole song,
We're the "Right" and you're the wrong.
But never fear, we will fight on.
We'll keep speaking the truth until you're gone.

In the end one thing is true,
WE'RE the ones "Lookin' Out For You".
I hope I blow the roof right off this joint,
Cuz I'm bustin out my "Talking Points".

-Bowler-

7. Thank you -- and no thanks to our cowardly media
Thank you for those images. This kind of image should be the lead off story and occupy the first half of every nightly news broadcast on every channel. It should be on the front page of every newspaper. Because this is the most important news story of the day -- the madness of war that those criminals in Washington have unleashed on the world, the suffering and the vast question of whether the United States shall become an empire, as the criminal cabal openly calls for, or whether it shall be a democratic republic.

But it is not represented in our media, which has reduced the war to cryptic announcements of "two marines killed" or "a powerful bomb went off in Karbala today, killing 50 Iraqis." That's it from those cowards at CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC and even the New York Times and Washington Post.
