Blood, Guts And Glory...FOR WHAT? An Open Letter To The War Supporters.
Edited on Tue Jul-26-05 09:37 AM by DistressedAmerican
Sometimes I get to work and I spend a lot of time looking at the same image and it starts to really piss me off. This shot is one of those. I saved it a month of so ago. I knew it would be useful. Saw it this morning and got this idea. But, while I was working on it, I began to get really, really pissed off. I am fuming right now!

So, kindly step back and let me rant a minute...
======================================================================

Dear George Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Karl Rove, Both Houses Of The United States Congress, Neocons and Bush Supporters in general,

You ALL make me SICK. Your greed, arrogance, ethnocentrism, and petty politics have created the worst foreign policy disaster that America has seen in many decades.

YOUR completely mis-directed over-reaction to the attacks of September 11, 2001, has those that perpetrated the attacks laughing with glee as we viciously attack a country that the entire world knows had nothing to do with anything but having oil and old grudges with Poppy.

By invading Iraq you have accomplished several historically catastrophic results. First, you have killed tens or hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Muslims in a country the Osama Bin Laden openly professed hatred for. YOU HAVE DONE HIS WORK FOR HIM YOU Jackasses!

Second, you have increased our military presence in the middle of the very region that is attacking us for being there in the first place. This has without a doubt led to a GLOBAL FLOOD OF NEW RECRUITS for Al Qaeda! AGAIN YOU HAVE DONE HIS WORK FOR HIM!

Third, You have given us our own Israeli/Palestinian conflict WRIT LARGE! It will be a source of anti-American hatred for decades to come. Are you getting the picture you you goddammed "MORANS"? You let the terrorists win! YOU!

YOU HAVE DONE WORK FOR BIN LADEN WITH THIS COCK UP THAT HE NEVER COULD HAVE EVEN ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT YOUR IDIOCY, SHORT-SIGHTEDNESS, and GENERAL LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THE WORLD WORKS OUTSIDE YOUR INSULATED LITTLE BUBBLE!

And most of all you disgusting pigs, he did it all with your help you ignorant, treasonous bastards!


Now here we are years into this disaster and facing MANY MORE. Nearly 1,800 of our soldiers are dead and many more are disabled. I ask you, FOR WHAT? Iraqi graveyards fill with their dead and their homes and streets with their wounded and FOR WHAT? What POSITIVE result has materialized in this nightmare? Name one! And it better be a damn good one!

Sincerely,
Distressed American

p.s. Don't bother sending your lying, sniveling, excuses to me. Because, I am not interested.

Send them to the family of the soldier whose blood bathed these bullets!

17. I'm not a drinker, but on election night 2004
as the results were coming in I found a bottle of cognac that was given to me as a birthday gift. I opened it and drank until I passed out.

Everything was pointing to a Kerry victory. I was extremely overconfident, reading polling data here at DU (I avoid the media when possible) and then hearing of the exit polls during the day. I remember seeing Bush that day and even he looked like he knew he was beaten (yeah, I was a sucker, all right). And then, watching CBS coverage and checking here during the night, finally realizing all was lost. I knew Kerry wouldn't fight the results.

I'm still not over 2000, and I'M REALLY NOT OVER 2004. Pour me a cup of joe, DA.

12. Hey, DA, I want a t-shirt of that graphic!
I don't want Rove or the blivet on my shirt, but this would get my opinion across eloquently. It's a thought...
