The best way to 'Honor the Fallen' is to stop this fucking war
bush is always using the ghoulish line, 'the best way to honor those who have fallen in battle in Iraq is to finish the job', but that is just a sick cover up. bush does not honor the fallen, he made them fall for his buddy's profits.

How is continuing the ghastly war for decades supposed to honor those who were "MISLED" into war? bush lied them all into their graves, our people and the Iraqi people, there is no honor to this anywhere.

1. I wish a rich Dem would by a full page in USA Today
detailing all the money Cheney has made off Halliburton and the war. And exposing all the war stocks republicans in Congress own. How many red republican sheeple know of the financial ties between the Bush family and the Bin Ladens? Maybe it's time to drag that out again?

2. Soldiers fought so their kids wouldn't have to....
...not so that Republicans could go on to create a war that never ends. Peace apparently is some naive fantasy to them.

6. A minor correction:
What is happening in Iraq is an occupation. The war was officially over on May 1, 2003, according to this US Department of State press release.


President George W. Bush
USS Abraham Lincoln
At Sea Off the Coast of San Diego, California
May 1, 2003

Thank you all very much. Admiral Kelly, Captain Card, officers and sailors of the USS Abraham Lincoln, my fellow Americans: Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed. And now our coalition is engaged in securing and reconstructing that country.
<end snip>



Occupations are notoriously difficult to win. :tongueincheek:

8. When will the criminal act be stopped?
When a million or ten million U.S. soldiers are dead. And for what, for some staged theatrical event where three thousand unknowing innocent or so paid with their life's for the props on 9/11. A 9/11 that had NOTHING to do with Iraq? Hell is to be paid and it always gets it due
