6. Further Undeniable Proof: We ARE Winning in Iraq...

I suppose we'll have WON when everyone over there is dead.

[Winterblues]

7. I don't know if the dead are Iraqis or Americans.

Does it really matter? Lives lost are Lives lostwhy would anyone feel some are more precious than others?

[CottonBear]

9. It is a tragedy when Iraqis or Americans or any others are killed in Iraq.

I was fortunate that my friend Kenji, any Army Staff Sargent, survived a tour of duty at an ammo depot in Tikrit, Iraq. I was so glad when he finally came home in one piece. He, unlike the unfortunate Iraqi soldiers and citizens who were killed today, was very, very lucky.

8. I Don't Even Care Anymore

What the Fuck can I do about it?

Powerless. Our opinions mean SHIT.

[CottonBear]

11. What can we do? Massive Democratic voter turnout in November, that's what we must do.

We must turn out in numbers so great that the GOP can't steal this election. The vote cannot be close.

Senator Obama wants us to get out of Iraq.

[bdamomma]

13. we all need to go out there and vote, to stop this illegal occupation

this thuggish regime we have is killing and murdering our troops and Iraqi civilians. We are causing a humanitarian crisis.

15. What Makes You Think ANYTHING Will Change

They're all basically the same. Sorry, but I don't think there is anyway out at this point, but with a Democrat, at least there's a small chance.
