60 Minutes, On treating the wounded in Iraq |
|
Why are we there?
Why I am crying?
Oh for the love of God please make it stop. I know that Saddam was an S.O.B. and that the hatreds go back generations but I can't help but watch and feel that we have opened the jaws of hell .... operation Iraqi Freedom, please.

I shouldn't cry like that.
I deer hunt a little, held friends & family for those last few minutes but to see that baby and the 23 year man from West Virginia is just too much.
No damn good reason for all that blood & pain.

2. My wife and I changed the channel. |

I thought it was a good idea to go into Iraq. I now realize it was a mistake. Part of the problem, only a part, is that many of those people don't react the way one would expect.

Iraqis HATE US for our ILLEGAL INVASION WAR CRIME; is THAT how they "don't react the way one would expect"? Well, SOME of us expected it.

12. It was never a good idea to go into Iraq. And the oil companies |
|
won't see a dime out of that country. It was about oil and only oil. We will all have to live with what we have done or failed to do to cause this debacle. We're all guilty.

3. They are just canon fodder for the military industrial complex |
|
The corporate whores in the White House might as well just feed the flesh and blood of young servicemen and women directly into the Wall Street trading pits.

13. He never lost a wink. |

He couldn't care less. His parents went golfing the day his Sister died! The Bushes aren't big on compassion even for their own, how can they possibly give a shit about the "rabble"?

6. That young woman soldier who died after getting shrapnel in her brain; that child |
|
Edited on Sun Oct-29-06 07:53 PM by WinkyDink
with the amputated arm~~~THIS WAR IS EVIL. There is NO other word. And for that doctor to sit there with that child and to say to Scott that "it's worth it"---HE is EVIL, TOO.
Satan rules, even if there is no Satan.
ETA: I sit corrected~~~THAT INNOCENT NON-COMBATANT with the shrapnel in her brain.

She was just an Iraqi in the wrong place & the wrong time.
Thanx to the war we brought to her country.
