I`m sitting here in the woods surrounded by nature and calm, but it doesn`t even matter to me today. These deaths in Iraq...one right after the other...are enough to make me crumple in half and bawl.
Dead children. Dead civilians. Dead soldiers, including Sgt. Joshua Frazier, age 24, on his FOURTH tour in Iraq. FOURTH damn tour while Congress takes how many weeks to argue over the word escalation?

http://icasualties.org/oif/ For what? Bush`s legacy? So nobody calls us cut-and-runners? Because mercenaries need the work? Are we supposed to be proud of this shit? Fly our flags and hum the anthem? Every single member of Congress and every single American citizen who still supports this hideous war should be suiting up after a visit with their nearest recruiter. Every one of them, including the long line of talking head bimbos regurgitating Rove`s "emboldening the enemy" crap in their allotted two-minute segments.
I`ve heard enough from them to last me a lifetime. Tell the hooded guy with electrodes wired to his testicles that you`re "bringing freedom" but don`t waste those words on me. I tuned out a few years ago after the sickening French fry naming contest in Congress and that burned, armless child named Ali found out his family had been killed.
As far as I`m concerned, this is beyond anger at a few chickenhawks or at the putrid diatribe coming from Fox News. It`s criminal to allow this war to continue and unforgivable to make excuses for "leaders" in either party who don`t stand up and say, "NO MORE."
George Bush should not only be stopped, he should be impeached....right along side that poor excuse for a Vice President, the guy who would just as soon out a covert agent so long as it helps save the lies inserted into the State of the Union address. These two men aren`t patriots. They`re dangerous, dangerous criminals. It`s time to forcefully tell them we`ve had enough.
