At the end of this filibuster
Harry Reid should finish up by announcing something along the lines of...
"While we Democrats TRIED to force a vote to bring the troops home and the Republicans obstructed that vote, xx number of troops were killed while we attempted this dialogue and will NEVER return home to their families."

2. It is sad
And it is sad that when all is said and done, that is the most important part and so many people just don't care.:cry:

3. Well, it might not be a big number
It's been sort of quiet the past few days. "Only" seven hostile-action fatalities in the past seven days. As contrasted to 28 the first six days of the month. I think they are keeping all the troops on base to hold the numbers down and support Joe's silly claims.

4. An American son or daughter is bleeding out right now.
While another valiantly tries to save his/her life. While the Pukes talk. And talk. And talk.

Fucking Republicans. Burn in hell.

5. How many loved ones were informed of their son or daughter's death...
while they debated?

Yes, that would be a suitable way to end it.
