2. They got there
saw how badly the "war on terror" was going, came back, told the truth, and were marginalized by the Bush administration and their corporate puppet masters.
At least, that's what could have happened.
I haven't read a word.
Hope they're OK.
The troops aren't doing so well.

5. thanks
it looks like they are essentially trying to justfy the illegal war by the courage of the troops, trying to imply this is a just cause

what is lacking is the death and destruction we have reaped upon the civillians, and the glorification of the war machine

what a waste

6. I live in Marin County, CA...one of the people, Melanie Morgan lives near
here and I run into her at local places shopping and she makes me absolutely sick. Thank goodness another neighbor is Barbara Boxer...she atleast makes the neighborhood a good place to be... :)

Melanie Morgan and this group of neo-con mouthpieces won't find anything good in Iraq, but I'm sure that they will do their best to report something positive, even if they have to make it up and stage it.

Maybe when I see her, I'll ask her when she'll be sending her young son there as soon as he is old enough to enlist....you know, since its so wonderful there and everything... :eyes:
