2. And the money, and the political capital that made it possible to
steal 2004, and the social/education/infrastructure program cuts, the loss of civil liberties....

10. Cindy Sheehan's presence in this battle is more devastating to bush and
his pack of liars than any weapon of mass destruction they could conjure up.

She spoke like the mother of our nation. The sorrowful look on her face was overwhelming and yet her words carried such power and conviction and cut through to the heart of the corrupt bush admin.

I felt like she carried all of us on her back. She is her son's mother but is also a beacon for all of us who need to stand up and speak truth to power.

8. Ms Sheehan
was asked by the Rep from NY about that. And I believe what she said was to honor those who have been murdered by bush et al., we need to get out men and women out of Iraq.

11. Our soldiers DID NOT die for "Nothing".
Our soldiers sacrificed for this nation's future, in a bloody illegal war of lies brought on by the Bush Cabal. The utter humiliation of Bush & PNAC will be brought about thanks, in large part, by their sacrifices.

If we follow through, they will have died to save the United States from something far more evil than Saddam.

13. Naw - not for "NOTHING..."
For corporations like Halliburton and Bechtel, for millionaires, like Shrub and his ChickenHawk cabinet, for American defense contractors, for Afghan and Pakistani druglords, for Saudi oil billionaires...

and for a MORALLY BANKRUPT ADMINISTRATION.
