"Faces of the Fallen" Bush's lie's for oil, the election...

[Zinfandel]

a mid-eastern base, to create fear in our country for political power & gain, doing the dirty work for anti-Arab interest, the weapons makers and corporations (Cheney's Halliburton) all so they can make billions. As we live under these sick, ugly beasts rule each day...it's a nightmare.

I care about our coutry as you do. This MUST stop...please make no other plans for March 20th, be there and be counted...to support our troops, and bring them home. And to stop this corporate imperialism.

Faces Of The Fallen


THE IRAQ WAR won't quit. Since Baghdad's fall, there are no battle lines. Fighting takes on a new lethal form in ambushes, bombings or plane crashes. Injury and death come almost daily.

On May 2, after a lightning-quick sweep through Iraq, President Bush declared that major combat was over. This country's vaunted armed forces had made short work of the Iraqi military.

But the president's proclamation didn't stop the fatalities, which as of Thursday included 556 American troops. More than 415 of them lost their lives after Bush declared that the major fighting was finished.

The war, which began a year ago amid non-stop media coverage, has faded from the limelight, although it is still deadly. Gone are the televised missile attacks on Baghdad and rumbling tanks passing through palm groves. Instead, the fighting breaks out along empty roads or at guard posts. Bombings and sniper attacks replaced set-piece battles with swooping aircraft and artillery barrages. Military accidents such as vehicle crashes or helicopter collisions cause many casualties.
