At the current rate: 975 dead Americans in Iraq by election day |
|
Today marks the 6 month anniversary of the start of the War in Iraq. As of today, 301 Americans have been reported killed in the war. At that rate--which could accelerate or decelerate--there will be 975 dead American service members in the war in Iraq by the time George W. Bush stands before the voters on November 2, 2004.
I'm just throwing that out.

The republikkkan's will be campaigning around Bush's* war.
Justice will be served when one of the father's of the dead Soldiers catches ole' Karl out by hisself one night.

see this at the repuke convention). I think a great backdrop would be pictures and birth-death dates of the dead soldiers that perhaps keeps rolling and rolling so that the people of this country get a sense of how many have died AND put a face to them. It's so easy for people to dismiss these people as nameless, faceless, etc. Perhaps even do a little running of name and face on snipits inbetween speeches, etc. They did this for a very short while on MSNBC and then pulled it----big mistake, people were reacting - people prefer not to be disturb. Let's disturb them and remind them that this is what happens when lying fuckers run this nation and "don't care".

6. That would indeed be effective. |

But don't hold your breath. For one thing, the media whores would never go along with having that running during the small time they will cover our convention; they would be ordered by KKKRove, and their corporate owners who would disallow it. Second, don't expect the DNC to have the guts to do it, in the first place.
After all, it might WORK!!! :o We couldn't have that!!!

as they say about mutual funds, and the same can certainly be said about war. The next 12 months are wide open. I fear the worst and hope for the best.
