1. He will be flown home in the dead of night.

Meanwhile, news crews will follow Terri Shiavo's hearse down the street, filming it every second they can.

[lebkuchen]

8. He will wait on the tarmac at Ramstein for autopsy at Landstuhl

while ret. vets stare out the Ramstein AB windows as they wait for their MAC flights, wondering why no honor guard is at-the-ready to meet the flag-draped caskets.

2. Is Bush making a statement sending condolences

to his family like he did to Terri's?

4. Does this make 4 deaths in the last 24 hours?

That election sure calmed things down, didn't it?

:tears and condolences:

Rest in peace, soldier.

5. "BRING EM ON" shouted the AWOL CHIMPANZEE

As he prepared to announce how sorry he was at the death of Schiavo.

The plain fact is he could care less about the death of this soldier.

7. This happened yesterday! News blackout continues....

Seven civilians die in attacks
Insurgents targeting U.S. forces killed seven civilians Wednesday, police said, during attacks in the northern city of Mosul and the Iraqi capital.

A woman and child were among six killed in Mosul when insurgents fired on a U.S. military patrol in the northeastern part of the city, police said. A firefight followed the initial attack, they said.

Five other civilians -- three women and two men -- were wounded, police said.

.... this would explain why attacks against US forces are down in March! They are not being reported.

SOME MOTHER’S SON

Some mother’s son lies in a field
Someone has killed some mother’s son today
Head blown up by some soldier’s gun
While all the mothers stand and wait
Some mother’s son ain’t coming home today
Some mothers son ain’t got no grave

Two soldiers fighting in a trench
One soldier glances up to see the sun
And dreams of games he played when he was young
And then his friend calls out his name
It stops his dream and as he turns his head
A second later he is dead

Some mother’s son lies in a field
Back home they put his picture in a frame
But all dead soldiers look the same
While all the parents stand and wait
To meet their children coming home from school
Some mother’s son is lying dead

Somewhere someone is crying
Someone is trying to be so brave
But still the world keeps turning
Though all the children have gone away

Some mother’s son lies in a field
But in his mother’s eyes he looks the same
As on the day he went away

They put his picture on the wall
They put flowers in the picture frame
Some mothers memory remains

10. I heard on the radio that three were killed

I'm disgusted and sick of this phony war

11. "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED," shrieked the prep-school pussy...

"Now if you'll excuse me, I have far bigger cows to milk..."

12. "Feels good," said the Man in the Monkey Suit

Preparing to go on the TV before the nation to announce the commencement of his illegal invasion, Little Boots pumped his fist and declared, "Feels good."

Meanwhile, the number of soldiers he sent off who no longer feel good, bad or anything inches toward 1,600.
