“Well, there are the naysayers who complain that the war is not going so well…….

The Cost of War: At Least 132,314 Lives Lost in Iraq
American Military Fatalities: 1,735
US Wounded: 13,074
"I have learned from first hand experience that war is the destroyer of everything that is good in the world, it turns our young into soulless killers and we tell them that they are heroes when they master the "art" of killing. ... Why do we tell our children to not solve their differences with violence, then turn around and commit the ultimate in violence against people in another country who have nothing to do with the political attitudes of their leaders?"

Overall, six private investment firms, including Carlyle, received nearly $14 billion in Pentagon deals between 1998 and 2003." ... "The fact that George H.W. Bush was working for them while his son was president, while his son, in fact, was dramatically increasing defense spending — that seems to me one of the most blatant conflicts of interests in history."

2. the photo you post is truly disgusting.
I heard someone a few weeks ago talking about GW...trying to make him sound like a regular guy. He said the monkey plays video games a couple of hours a day.
Is that possible? I'm no saint or hero, but I couldn't entertain myself this way knowing my decisions (and lack of decisions) has caused and is causing the deaths of so many people. I'd be kicking Rumsfeld's ass all over the place if my troops didn't have the armor they needed.
Does this man have a soul?

And now we know why wars/massacres are fought rather than just bringing the perps in.

4. It's not "How's THE war going" -- It's "How's YOUR war going?"
Just so everyone's clear, this is BUSH'S WAR!
