The media cries "Fallujah", "Back to the War" and "Victory"
I have no heart for war and no stomach for watching a massacre. They'll be airing their little war to the Republicans, I guess. I won't watch. They, the media, are really nothing more than accomplices.

1. "The Price of Liberty", crows FOX news
Big bold graphics in full 52" screen filling glory with macho war-like music to accompany.

2. Well look on the bright side
Edited on Mon Nov-08-04 06:20 PM by nadinbrzezinski
more and more Republcvians is all they have for audience and....

Their kids will soon be in that hell, so better see waht they bought before the draft board calls junior away

Oh and when they do call junior, can I help him or her pack? I don't want to hear any wining from any bush voter

:-)

They made their bead, I will not cry over their kids...

10. If they plan to stay in Iraq, they have to.
Look at the stop loss and recall programs. If that isn't desperation, what is?

12. Volunteers are infintely better...
...than draftees. The military knows this. And with that in mind i highly doubt they would try and stretch their might further then they already are.

And for refrence, do you have any sources for military reenlistment statistics i could use?

5. Of course the Media is doing what the Media does...
Propping up Bush and Company.

Did you expect them to do otherwise?

6. They are using this battle to justify the war
win the battle, win the war.

The truth is nobody has a clue as to whats going on in Iraq. Not the military, not the media, not the admin, not the american public

After months of just forgetting it we're now ready to see more brown people die.
