For those of you who never leave the lounge...Blood on W's hands
The link below leads to a public album on Photobucket.com.

WARNING: This album contains graphic photos of the casualties of war. (Casualties...what a rotten word for maimed, wounded, bloody reality.)

http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b174/grannylib /

The only editing that has been done is cropping to protect privacy (no faces of American military personnel, no insignia, no charts or personnel records in the background, etc.) The blood you see in these pictures is on the hands of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and the rest of the PNAC goons who love this war and would like to start more; anyone who still supports these liars, killers and thieves; and Jeb Bush, Katherine Harris, Kenneth Blackwell, the Diebold corporation, Karl Rove's bused-in goons, and the Felonious Five on the Supreme Court who helped appoint Bush to power.

I love my country. I support the troops. I honor their service. This does not mean I have to love, honor or support the war or those whose lies send other people's kids to their deaths.
Enough already. As members of the human family, who have more in common than that which divides us, my prayer is that we can someday live in peace. We need to put the war-mongers and death-dealers out of business and out of power.

Below is my original post from yesterday:

I have a co-worker who is in the Army Reserve, and is a medic. Did a tour of Afghanistan for a year. Burned some CDs of pictures for me, and holy God...

Fuck the flag-draped coffins...if the American people could see the destruction of human flesh and life, both military and civilian, in these pictures...I am just shaking, I can not fathom what life must be like for those who serve and who have been so grievously wounded...or for the innocent civilians caught in the situation.

My God. Burns. Amputations. Faces half gone. Bowels spilling out of torsos. Entry wounds. Exit wounds.

It's just too much.

That goddamned cowardly little unelected piece of shit in the White House should be seeing these, and then he should be tried for treason and war crimes, and then he should be marched off in an orange jump suit and shackles to spend the rest of his sorry-assed life in solitary confinement where he should be forced to look at what he has wrought, 24/7.

Fucker. Miserable fucker. Dealer of death.

He MUST be made to pay.

1. There are just no words...
May this "leader" suffer all those wounds and so much more for what he's done.

2. Oh, geez.
I can't think of words to convey...fuck...I can't even complete this sentence. I don't even know if there's a punishment worthy of a crime so heinous.

5. Thank you for reminding those who never leave the Lounge...
what the fight is all about.

Yes, it's not pretty but wars never are.

I can recall asking one beloved Lounge Lizard why they joined this site and all I got was flames in return. Maybe this thread will wake some of them up.

8. Gee. I wonder why you got flamed...
Newsflash, genius: Many Lounge posters work every bit as hard as you (or harder), so you might want to tone down your leftier-than-thou bullshit. Christ... Every now and again, someone comes to the Lounge and assumes that they're talking to the "special kids".

12. I apologize if that was the perceived tone; I really didn't mean to come
off that way at all...
I just wanted to get these out there to as many folks as possible who might choose to view them.
I'm really sorry if I created the impression that I was talking down to anyone, or implying a slur of any kind to my fellow lounge lizards, many of whom, I know, are very dedicated, activist people who do work hard to create a better country/world for all of us.
Again, my apologies to anyone who was offended...
