1. This ENRAGES me tonight...

Maybe it's the timing of the DNC, but ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!

[medeak]

2. why isn't press

mainstream press that is...reporting deaths any longer?

[frylock]

3. wtf.. george snuffaluffagis said iraq was "stabilizied"

[bagnana]

4. why is this only being reported in AUSTRALIAN papers?

This is ridiculous.

5. Since the "handover" we won't see this news anymore

This is now a police action. The military is simply on a security mission.
It doesn't make national news when a local cop gets shot either right?

It's a very intentional move to deceive. the BFEE aren't going to go down without a fight.

6. Your war Mr. Bush

and it will be your war even after you leave office.

[Qanisqineq]

7. That makes at least 50 dead US troops this month alone

:cry: :cry: :cry:

And to think, my husband "gets" to go back...

8. Oh christ Tolanai! jeezus

((((((((((((Tolania))))))))))))) goddamit!! Not again..and when Michael comes back, Im terrified he will go back too..goddamit!!!

[Barkley]

10. I hope Micheal comes home soon!

They just can't keep twisting people lives like this.

I met a military mom at one of the local convenient stores in
Irvine, CA.; she has a picture of her son on the counter. Talking
with her reminded me of you, Mari333.

She really dislikes Bush too and is concerned that her daughter who is approaching draft age might be joining her son in Iraq.

We've got to BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW!

[Ilsa]

13. How is your husband, Mari?

I know this was tearing him up. Is he getting some help to manage the stress? I've been as almost as concerned about him (and you) as Michael's safety.

So sorry for your bad news, Tolania. <<<Hugs.>>>

[Solly Mack]

9. Oh damn. Do you know when?

My husband's old company is slated to go back in the Fall of 2005. Naturally, it could be sooner.

We're going to Germany in September and won't know until we get there and he's assigned.



:grouphug:

[Barkley]

11. This is completely crazy!

Isn't there a limit on the number of rotation/ deployments?

I thought Rummy 'called up' 4000 more extra people to relieve the ones over there?

I pray for your husband's safety.

[Az_lefty]

17. Tell your husband from me to be safe.

My unit may get to go back also, not something I'm looking forward to. My son in-law is already packing up to go back.:-(

[catmandu57]

12. Shhhhh shush now

We're not supposed to know this crap is happening.

[Ripley]

14. 908 and those brave guys will be lucky if they are a ticker crawl

at the bottom of the screen on Headline News.

I love the way the media supports the gd troops!

[llmart]

15. But they always have time for Scott Peterson.

Bush can kill and maim thousands of people, including close to 1,000 of our soldiers, and the media barely mentions it. How F..... up is this country anyway?

[lottie244]

16. I wish the Dems would do more at their convention to honor our dead

military in Iraq and Afghanistan. The country needs to be reminded that what is going on in Iraq is dirty and getting worse and our children are dying for a lie.
