2. RIP

The criminals who sent you to die for their financial gains, and consolidating their power, are not worthy to carry your boots. I pray for your families, and your friends, and for the lives cut short to further the sociopath running the country's ideal of being known as a "war president".
When he takes up arms and fights by your side, he might deserve that title, but until then, holding fund raisers at taxpayer's expense, and stripping your loved one's Constitutional rights, rather than exposing his precious Wasp hide by putting himself in danger. Nor will his daughters, or nieces or nephews, or the families of any of the "haves", and "have mores", his base be contributing their precious offspring to the same danger you face.

Rest assured, though, that if you survive his endless war, and are maimed and injured, your benefits are being eroded. If you suffer from PTSD, it will be even worse, because he will say you are faking your illness. It might be cold comfort to you, but your sacrifices will help fatten Halliburton's bottom line, and enable your president's cronies to amass even more wealth. We democrats want more for you, and that is why we want your return. We do support you, the troops, but we do not support the power mad monkey who caused all of this.

BOISE, IDAHO (AP) -- An Idaho soldier died yesterday in Baghdad, becoming at least the 18th soldier from this state to die in Iraq since the United States invaded in March 2003.

Specialist James Lee Bridges, a 22-year-old from Buhl, Idaho, died from a gunshot wound, according to the Department of Defense. Bridges was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 1st Infantry Regiment, 172nd Striker Brigade Combat Team stationed at Fort Wainwright in Alaska.

A spokeswoman with the Army Public Affairs office in Virginia said she didn't have any details of Bridge's death.

At least 12 American troops have been killed in Iraq this month, following October when 105 Americans were killed.

More than 2,800 US troops have died in Iraq since the war began more than three years ago.

5. requiescat in pace

Fading light, dims the sight;
And a star, gems the sky, gleaming bright;
From afar, drawing nigh;
Falls the night...

Day is done, gone the sun;
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest;
God is nigh...

Then goodnight, peaceful night;
Till the light, of the dawn, shineth bright;
God is near, do not fear;
Friend, goodnight...
