1. Citizens to Bush: Fuck off.

[alcuno]

2. "Let's go to war. I'll hold your coat."

Enjoy your elevator ride into the basement GW.

[php1949]

3. Bush supporters are accomplices...

...in the deaths of 10,000 Iraqi women and children and the deaths of 544 American soldiers.

[ComerPerro]

4. Bleh

Nothing like speaking in front of a group that can be court martialed if they don't support you.

[MsUnderstood]

5. how about this quote

"This post has long been vital to the defense of America. And today, the men and women of Fort Polk are serving with skill and bravery in the war on terror. Since our nation was attacked on September the 11th, 2001, this post has trained and deployed more than 10,000 troops to fight the terrorist enemy."

Hold on-have all the folks from Polk gone to Afghanistan or is Bush implying that IRAQ is the terrorist enemy?

"In the war, America depends on our military to meet the dangers abroad and to keep our country safe. The American people appreciate this sacrifice. And our government owes you more than gratitude. We must always make sure that America's soldiers are well-equipped and well-trained to fight this war on terror."

Uh--isn't haliburton better equiped then our soldiers?

"The former regime in Iraq also witnessed America's resolve to confront dangers before they fully materialize. My administration looked at the intelligence information and we saw danger. Members of Congress looked at the same intelligence, and they saw danger. The United Nations Security Council looked at the intelligence, and it saw a danger."

Is this a game? How many times do you tell a lie until it is true?

[xxqqqzme]

21. '...owes you more than gratitude...'

but that is all they will get from squatter after he is finished trimming their benefits.

[leesa]

35. Afghanistan= terrorism is also another one of their lies

Whoever did 9-11, and we have no idea who did it...probably home grown though... NONE of them "officially" were from Afghanistan. The ONLY reason we bombed Afghanistan and killed thousands of innocents there was because the Taliban refused our oil pipeline deal. We threatened to bomb them in July of 2001. Had nothing to do with what happened on 9-11.

Think about it for ten minutes. If some United States terrorist group decided to detonate a nuclear bomb in Paris, would you think it was appropriate for Europe to carpet bomb the entire US for ten months to apprehend those few terrorist members???

You seem saavy about Bush lies, why do you swallow this biggest one. It makes no sense on any level.

[VOX]

6. "You take the point. I'll stay back here with the gear."

"If I even show up, that is."

:evilfrown:

[schrodinger_I]

7. Did't LBJ do that as well?

I remember reading that LBJ had to resort to doing speeches at military bases because he got heckled wherever he went to give a speech.

[TreasonousBastard]

8. Old joke--

GI in hospital in Nam, pretty banged up.

"What happened to you?"

"Well, I ran into a VC who yelled 'Lyndon Johnson son of bitch.' So, I yelled back 'Ho Chi Minh son of bitch.'

"While we were having a beer, the truck hit us."

[lovedems]

9. That is easy for that

fuckwad to say while he is surrounded by security, rides in his armored limo and has the courtesy of the Air Force to protect AF1. He gets to sleep in his comfy bed every night and eat decent meals. He lives in safety and luxury, they live in fear and sand. I truly despise the chimp like I have no other in my life. I usually don't resort to hatred, but in his case, I simply cannot help it.

[Rex]

10. There he goes again with the Iraq-911 linkage, again

"The Second Calvary is now deployed in Iraq...Since our nation was attacked on September the 11th, 2001..."

I hate this guy!

[Malva Zebrina]

11. words of wisdom

to future parents. Do Not let or encourage your children to join the military in order to get benefits or some sort of macho satisfaction. Teach them that intellectual satisfaction is far superior to military macho points.

The price they will pay under an evil man such as Bush, may be their very lives.

[diamond14]

12. so many soldiers from Fort Polk have been KILLED...it's easy

for the shrub to spew out his usual crap about being 'relentless' with OUR money and OUR soldiers lives...it's just no biggie for bushies...(no photoshopping...this is the shrub in his usual scam)...the bush* PERPETUAL WAR mantra makes him and his handlers real happy....

17. WHY aren't the families beating down his doors!

My heart goes out to Mari from this forum..I know if she was able to get the parents together to go to DC, I know she would...However, that COWARD would run w/ his dickless crotch between his legs!!!

[Mari333]

32. Military families will be marching at Ft Bragg on March 20

along with Vets, and also marching at Dover AF base on March 14th and doing non violent resistance.
I wish I could be at both..Im marching in Kalamazoo on March 20th with my stepsons picture and I hear there are over 600 people going to be there.
as for details
http://www.mfso.org
http://www.bringthemhomenow.com
http://www.vaiw.org

I emailed Michael Moore's group and asked them if I could go to DC and stand in front of the WH with enlistment forms and demand that every Senator and House Rep who voted for Iraqnam have their kids sign up. I also asked them if I could go down there and demand that bu$h have his kids sign up for weekend reserve duty, no strings attached...they havent emailed me back, but I wish I could do it.
Gotta put my anger somewhere.
edit to add: He just emailed me from Kuwait..says he doesnt know where he is headed in Iraq yet.

[diamond14]

The World STILL says NO to war....and YES TO PEACE....

Momentum is building for the Global Day of Action against War and Occupation on March 20, 2004—the one-year anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. On that day people all around the globe will take to the streets to say YES to peace and NO to pre-emptive war and occupation. Joining with growing numbers of military families and soldiers, we will call for an end to the occupation of Iraq and Bush's militaristic foreign policies. March 20 will be the first time the world's "other superpower" will take center stage since Feb. 15.

13. Remember, Shrub thinks he's all powerful

As he himself said in December of 2000:

"If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier — so long as I'm the dictator."

[diamond14]

14. thanks for the photo...hope you didn't mind if I borrowed it.....

it's the best image of the bush* administration in a single photo....

with OUR pResident as the chauffeur ....priceless....

[jackstraw45]

15. No problem...definitely not my photo....

Saw it on here months ago. Definitely think it's an illustrative image of this administration and the Bush family history of oil and corruption.

[PretzelWarrior]

16. Bush reminds me of Shrek's Prince Faquad who said:

Imagine John Litgow's voice: "Some of you may die...but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make."

He's what Louis L'Amoure would have called 'yellah' and a tinhorn gunslinger. In essence, a loudmouth who doesn't back it up, and when he does stand in front of a real gunslinger, he buys the farm.

[Mari333]

18. He used our kids for a photo op

may he rot in hell.

[PaDUer]

19. The kids should all

have given the finger!

[SammyWinstonJack]

29. They should have BOOED him!

I doubt they would have all faced a court martial. It sure would have sent a message and the look on smirk boy's face would have been priceless. :evilgrin:

[Q]

20. Bush* thinks walking through rubble is an act of bravery?

- What a delusional twit. He has NEVER put himself in harm's way...but is quite willing to sacrifice others for HIS causes.

[diamond14]

23. yes, bush* doesn't mind at all if other people's kids DIE for his OIL

it's the ultimate...and it surprises me that America has tolerated this for so long....TWO AND A HALF YEARS of mindless unless unwarranted unneccessary WAR...at a huge expense in money, lives, and OUR futures....still...very few speak out...and there is no outrage from the general populace....

Vietnam in a Microwave....

[K8-EEE]

22. "We Can't Take The Word Of A Mad Man!"

Look in the mirror shrubby...

Amazingly Scott McClellan termed this photo op as "an important update on the war on terrror."

I see there has been much new info like SADDAM WAS A MADMAN! THE WORLD IS SAFER WITHOUT HIM! WE CANNOT LOSE THE WAR ON TERROR!

Yawn!! What exciting NEW info, never heard THAT before...what an assclown.

[Piperay]

24. *chortle, chortle, chortle* that's mighty

big talk from a chickenhawk who was AWOL, don't know how he can say it with a straight-face. :argh:

[CRK7376]

25. He can take

my place next time I deploy over there. Already done the Afghan tour...guess Iraq is next...SInce he looked into volunteering for Vietnam and it was winding down. Afghanistan and Iraq are still winding up so he's more than welcome to have my seat on the next battleroster....

[diamond14]

30. thank you for your service, CRK7376...please keep us informed

if you go to Iraq....

certainly, it would be great if you could give us any insights into the Afganistan situation....there are no REAL reporters over there and only an occasional photo comes over here....

my thoughts and prayers are with you and all OUR troops...

[Mari333]

33. Im glad you are back. what is my stepson facing ?

the news is so blacked out. Hes in Kuwait now, he just got there. Hes an MP, 428th . I believe in hearing the truth, perhaps you have some scuttlebutt from within you can share with me? Its maddening not knowing anything.
and a hug to you sweetie.

[greatauntoftriplets]

26. Can the troops now in Iraq...

...take a few months off, come back home and work on a political campaign? Can they, can they, can they, Georgie??? No, I didn't think so.

[Enraged_Ape]

27. "I will not stop eating pretzels & you won't stop getting shot at."

(Applause.)

What a sad, loathesome, cowardly, stupid, sick SOB.

[Nobody]

28. Psssssst! hey George! Osama bin Laden isn't in Iraq! n/t
