5. Of course not. They didn't have their feeding tubes removed.
And, thus, they did not qualify as news in Busherica.

6. do a google news search
on "iraq soldiers killed"

two local tv stations - probably where the soldiers were from, the Billings Gazette, and the china post

no major coverage

8. I heard Bush making a statement about Terri Schiavo...
...and how difficult that was for "millions of Americans."

I anticipate, at any moment, that * will call a press conference and discuss the devastating loss these three soldiers are to America.

I can't imagine that he write a statement and address the nation about one Florida woman--then ignore three American soldiers who lost their lives in the Iraq war.

So, I'll keep flipping channels until I see the prez.

He should address the nation, at any moment, right?

You mean we're still in a war? Check www.icasualties.org

Oh. now Bush is into liberating the brain dead against the wishes of their spouse...new war.

13. Sadly, our soldiers have become a footnote.
Saw the blurb on the crawl at the bottom of the screen on CNN while they were talking about the Shiavo case.

15. For the record, unfortunately, no.
But I do keep track of the casualties on a weekly basis, keep getting information about the progress being made toward bringing the troops home, and have several soldiers I keep in touch with and support via letters and care packages.

21. Stop Whining !
Edited on Fri Apr-01-05 08:54 AM by ElectroPrincess
If you are a true American Patriot you will "dummy up" and stay tuned only to FOX news. BTW what the hell's the matter with you? Why our Dear Leader is in the process of democratizing the Middle East.

Have you no decency or are you just a "Hate America First" type liberal dim-O-crat!?!

Buck up Citizen! Our Dear Leader, chosen by God himself, just informed us yesterday that "Every-thing's Fine."

NO further questions are necessary or will be tolerated. :sarcasm:

22. This is what bothers me most about the MSM
Terri - brain damaged for 15 years

The Pope - old and sick for a long time

Soldiers killed - who the hell cares in the MSM???

What the hell is going on in this country?? No coffins in site, per Bush, out of mind.

25. Dead cannon fodder doesn't sell soap like a dead "martyr".
Or, the sexual antics of celebrities or the drug use of jocks.

This is Amurka, where people don't die unless the media notices.
