1. Now over 1900

Approaching 2000 fast. To think I once said Bush has accomplished nothing.

2. I mourn for the troops, not the mercenaries

No sympathy for these private "contractors" who make war into a profitable business.

3. I agree. They went over there to make money off these people's

misery and loss. Mercenaries don't deserve any consideration whatsoever.
