1. Doesn't it seem like the rate of casualties....

is increasing by the week? We just hit the 2,000 milestone and now we've lost nearly 2,100? Maybe this is what Murtha is talking about! If Smirk's twins were fighting in Iraq, would we "stay the course?"

:noiconcanexpressmysadness:

I am so sorry that the deaths of every one of the people in this ill-conceived and war of lies has caused such pain for their families and friends.

The losses will never even be known as these people will never achieve any of the potential that was theirs at birth.

They have become statistics that so many do not really care about. The GOPpiggies think that many many many more need to die for the lies of this warp resident and the BFEE - and even most of them are just too stupid and hanging on the fringe hoping to be noticed by the big boys - perhaps Abramoff or his successor will send a few bucks into their pockets and they can take a golfing trip to Scotland and tell their little itty bitty minded families how important they are - they can make people die just by calling on them to be patriotic whilst all they have to do is eat at the fancy parties and get really fat off all the payoffs and someone else will surely come down the way and bankroll their next election because they are GOPpiggies after all.

I can only hope that there is a hell.
