5. The only reason I hope there is an afterlife is so those responsible may

answer for depriving these youths of their dreams and aspirations, their wives and families of their happiness and joy. Damn them for the murdering scum they are and smile upon the victims, both those forced to fight the wars of the rich and the evil, and those caught amidst the carnage.

But let us not forget those deprived of limb, vitality, or fairness of countenance. They too deserve some retribution by whatever powers may or may not be.

9. Those left behind to struggle absolutely deserve retribution.

At the very least, they deserve to be protected against abandonment. None of them are publicly acknowledged by this cabal: the dead or the disabled FORCED to SERVE the BushCO/neocon regime. To the contrary, this regime HIDES their sacrifice,...just like they HIDE their every plan/scheme/motive.

6. Add to that the casualties to come from DU, nerve agents, and

fractured psyches.

7. Bring the troops home; safely and soon...

...87 dead divided by the 39 days of 2006 that have passed = 2.23/day...
...2.23/day x 365 days = 814 expected casualties this year if it keeps going like this...
...2,237 total dead so far (maybe off on that) divided by 3 years of combat = 745 dead/year...
...HOW IN THE HELL CAN THEY SAY THEY ARE WINNING THIS WAR ?????

8. Well, first they'll compare the # US dead to traffic accidents in CA,

totally too stupid to not understand that;

1. The total number of Americans in CA is quite a bit bigger than the total number of Americans in Iraq, or, if you wanna compare California to Iraq because they're the SAME SIZE GEOGRAPHICALLY (yes seriously that's what they do, LOL!) then you're pretty fucking STUPID coz it's POPULATIONS that need comparing, not land mass size. (Now try that ratio again, MFers. They of course won't be able to figure that one out at all...so then let's send all rightwingnuts to Iraq where they're soooo much safer...heh!)

2. They denigrate the deaths of every one of those Americans when they pull that "fuzzy death math".

3. When you in turn ask them why they don't compare the 2600 dead Americans from the 911 attacks to deaths in California freeways, they will screech and yell and call you a traitor.

4. Then they'll stick their fingers in their ears and call you more names.

That's how.

Oh. And we don't have a free press (we're #44!) in this country.

10. Right...Reality check...

...they don't believe in reality.:banghead: They don't believe in science.:shrug:

They don't believe in any other view than the one spoon-fed them by Limpballs and his ilk. :wow:

Must not let anger overwhellllmmmm...

.............AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That feels better...
