I have no words. Bush has the blood of all the fallen on his hands. I wish he had a conscience.

1. For those who actually care ...

His name was Spc. Dustin R. Donica, 22, of Spring, Texas.

These death-count threads are sickening -- impersonal, politically motivated with regard for those who have fallen and those left behind.

2. The threads aren't sickening,

The immoral war that has cost our country the lives of 3000 brave citizens is sickening.

...sorry....but I just had to say that. This is a 22 year old kid who had the rest of his life ahead of him EXCEPT for one little problem ~~ he went to Iraq wearing a US military uniform. To me, he is just a baby ~~ and that is not meant in a derogatory manner toward him. He is just so freaking young. What a monstrous waste!

I am so sad and I am crying and angry all at the same time and sitting her while I sob spewing cuss words at George Bush. I have a son ~~ quite a bit older ~~ but still a young man. I cannot imagine the pain of the parents of this young man and of all the other young men and women who have died BECAUSE OF THE LIES OF GEORGE BUSH. If I feel like his ~~ I cannot begin to image how those parents feel.

For once I wish I was a believer ~~ because I would like nothing better than for there to be a hell and for that bastard Bush to rot there for eternity. I would hope to hell he got Hitler and Saddam as roommates. And as to that latter choice in roommates, it is not just that Saddam is a bad man, but Saddam KNOWS exactly what Bush is all about. So let George not only spend eternity in hell ~~ but in the company of someone who has his number.

I cannot believe the arrogance of Bush ~~ Happy New Year everyone...and, oh, yeah, there is some "turbulence" in Iraq. Listen, Bush, you fucker ~~ turbulence is something you get on a freaking airplane, OK? It's not descriptive of a Civil War that was caused by you and your lies. So, go fuck yourself and your bullshit.

Rant over.....and I really don't know if it helped that much, but I just had to get it out. Thanks for being here, DU.
