3. Isn't that something??? Hardly a blip in the news. |
|
But taking a shim out of the space shuttle was BIG NEWS FOR AN HOUR.
:crazy:
Maybe it's because the prez is on vacation. Then again, probably not, because I'm sure he doesn't give 2 shits.

4. DOD still hasn't released the names |
|
of the three remaining Marine reservists that were killed on the 1st from Ohio. Two of my friends are in the 3rd Battalion. I keep refreshing that site and get nothing.
I'm worried and optimistic at the same time.
This . . er . . . "struggle" is NeoCon delusion right now. These kids haven't even gotten a chance to live their lives. Cut your damned losses and start formulating an exit plan. PLEASE.

They don't care about lives. They don't care about people.

8. American bodies are not being dragged through the streets now |

If america were to start seeing that on their local news stations maybe things might come to a head.

9. bush has had his many "Blackhawks Down" |
|
(his favorite movie remember) plus he's had many Chinooks Down, OH-58's Down and many, many others but never a mention of any of this crap - and we don't even know if we are having people dragged thru the streets - who in the hell would report it, anyway?
