Last throes ... yes, in_deed - tomorrow should be the last day Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Bolton, and many other neoconsters occupy OUR property and spend OUR money committing atrocities and destroying the lives of OUR soldiers.

March these murderers into a tribunal.

'nuff said.


Never Forget: George W. Bush willfully violated National Security to cover-up his willful launch of a war of aggression and illegal occupation of Iraq.

4. I remember one of the Bushbots bragging
about US casualties being down in Jan, Feb & Mar. This was supposed to prove we were winning in Iraq when all they were doing was killing Iraqis instead those months. So far in April 47 the whole month of March 31 I wonder how they will spin that one.

5. In respect to the different branches, Troops, not soldiers were
killed. My Marine nephew educated me on this. Home, after his 2nd Iraqi tour. In Iraq, you have Marines, Airmen, Sailors and Soldiers.

If you follow www.icasualties.org you will see the DOD also distinguishes among the services.

6. Have you noticed that when Fearless Leader says how
things are going well in Iraq, things get worse? I guess the Insurgents watch TV too.

"Bring it on!"


they did.

9. And I knew one of them
Died last Thursday from a IED. Member of the 101st (my old Division). 23 years old. We don't know a lot of the details yet. Two Army officers showed up at 10:00 PM last Thur. night to break the news. At least it wasn't a fucking telegram.

The body has not arrived in the states yet. No funeral arrangements can be made.

10. Sorry for your loss, as someone up thread said, It's a crime to die
for someone else's greed. My thoughts are with you.
peace

11. Sounds like we are in the middle of a "Civil War" targets for both sides.
Or is there another group who doesn't want to be liberated? :sarcasm:

13. The reports of the death of the insurgency
were greatly exaggerated.

Man, it's like a roller coaster of emotion on the DU. Just chill look at the long term.

On 20 Jan 2009, you will have 5000KIA, 14,000 serious wounded and 19,000 other wounded!

How can you claim it isn't worth it? Those numbers alone indicate it is!

Why that's like a fish without a bicycle! Here, to take your mind off of it have a nice long gander at Paris Hilton's bony ass!

Why when looked at over the long term, who's going to be able to distinguish from one soldier to the next? Just SOP for the USA... (and every State, everywhere)
