what did our 61 soldiers die for this month?

[bigtree]

democracy? freedom? security?

nope.

they died because the politicians in washington aren't done playing politics with our troops' lives.

they died because the politicians in washington know that the minute they begin to leave Iraq it will be evident to everyone just how miserably they've failed.

they died because the bastards who are keeping them there don't give a damn about their lives,

or anyone else's but their own.


April continues to be deadly for Americans

[Roland99]

1. For a mega-embassy and four, large permanent military bases in Iraq.

[The2ndWheel]

4. Yeah, pretty much

We span most of the globe militarily already, why stop now?

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

2. Chimpy views our sons...

...and daughters in the military as human currency for him to spend any which way he damn well pleases. He has no decency and I don't believe he even has the capacity to grieve. A totally self absorbed sociopath.

[The_Casual_Observer]

3. Colonizing Iraq in the interests of Oil and Israel's security had a

lot of appeal, that is, until we actually tried it.

[CJCRANE]

17. I also think

the ME oil monarchies also liked the idea of a free-trade zone in Iraq and their pesky rival Saddam out of the way.

[elehhhhna]

5. shhhhh. they volunteered to "get their hair mussed"

[gratuitous]

6. They died so we could pay $3+ per gallon for gasoline

Golly, why aren't you people concerned about the plight of the poor oil companies? The poor dears at Exxon barely made $10 billion in profits in the fourth quarter of 2005, and if they don't make a similar profit in the first quarter of 2006, Dick Cheney might not get another multi-million dollar tax refund.

You heartless bastards.

[dogday]

7. Light a candle for them

that's what I do on a daily basis.. It is not a religious thing, it is more like every time I look at the candle, I remember the sacrifices they made, and make every day. My Son is over there.....

[bigtree]

10. I will

[dogday]

16. Thank you very much

It means the world to me and my Son and all the other soldiers out there that we are here thinking of them.. I can only hope this war comes to an end very soon.....

[w8liftinglady]

11. bless you,dogday-that's why I am SO vocal

everyone in my town knows me now,after my 50 lttes in our local paper,educating these people about this criminal war.I'll never stop until our sons are home and these bastards are in prison

[dogday]

18. Keep fighting the good fight

I know we appreciate your vocal cries to end the world.. Hopefully your vocal cries will join with more vocal cries until they cannot hear anything else but "end this war now".

[NEOhiodemocrat]

14. lighting that candle now

thank you to your son, I will think of him when I look at the candle today.

[dogday]

21. That is so sweet. It is amazing how

calm you feel when you look into it... Thank you for your thoughts....

[wtmusic]

8. Lies.

[rodeodance]

9. Bush said today that Freedom in Iraq is worth the Sacrifice.

[bigtree]

12. who will free them from him, I would ask?

and what sacrifice has he made?

[KyndCulture]

13. oil and lies.

[Golden Raisin]

15. Oil, higher stock price & profits for Halliburton,

lies and a permanent military base in Southwest Asia with close proximity to all the oil sheikhdoms to protect "our" oil (regardless of which country the oil is in (i.e. in case the Saudi ruling family is overthrown, or they decide to get "uppity" with the USA.)

[originalpckelly]

19. Military bases, so that more young people can go die in Iran.

[dennis4868]

20. Hey....don't forget about....

HALLIBURTON!
