Remember folks! This wasn't a Chopper Crash, it was a Chopper shoot down!
Edited on Sun Nov-02-03 07:35 AM by trumad
The 13 American 82nd Airborne Paratroppers didn't die because of a mechanical failure! They died because an Iraqi Freedom Fighter put a missle on his shoulder and pulled the trigger.

Of course they'll mysteriously find the guy's passport and of course he'll be from Syria!

As an ex-82nd Airborne Paratrooper, this sickens me to no end!

4. What's alarming to me
is how many 82nd troopers are getting hit over there... The 82nd is an elite group with far more expertise the the National Guard! If they're getting to the 82nd then the shit's deep!

6. I want to remind everyone that Zell Miller said
that the monkey is the right man for the right time. DAMN HIM TO HELL. DAMN ALL THESE IRAQ WAR SUPPORTERS. SUPPORT THE TROOPS BRING THEM HOME NOW. We are the ones who really care about the troops, I say the war supporters don't care about the troops but the monkey's reelection. Next time they accuse anyone of us of being unpatriotic you slam their ass back with that. Left Chick made my eyes mist with her last line-then I got pissed.

10. Give your support to Dennis, folks. He's the only one who will stop this
Give him your support. He'll make use of it.

If everyone shifted 100% of their financial support from other candidates to Dennis explicitly because of his stand for principled pullout now, I guarantee that would send a message that even Media Inc couldn't ignore. There'd be 6 Dem candidates scrambling like hell to say that they were always behind the 'UN in, US out' strategy and there'd be a shock wave go through Congress.

11. I agree, anyone who thinks the US can win this war...
is living in a different world of sugar plum faeries and ginger bread men.
