14 Marines died. Do you feel more free?
They died for our freedom, right? I can feel it, can't you?

That's what they said about 'Nam. "They're fighting for your freedom." When we lost, and left with our tail between our legs, how much freedom did we lose? Did you feel less free?

Fuck LBJ, Nixon, and Chimpy McWarmonger. Fuck 'em all to hell!

4. How are they going to spin this?
Don't they ever get tired of spouting the same crap, each and every day? "We're fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here", on and on.

5. Would little dick Cheney attend....??
Never mind, Attending our dead sons and daughter's funerals does not fill little dick's pockets with money. My step-son gearing up for his 5th Iraq tour (navy). God Have Mercy. The guy is in love with little dick and little bush, and not with his four beautiful little girls. I pray nothing happens to him. He's my hubby's only son. My children are not his by blood.

6. How come nobody is talking...
... about the circumstances of yesterday's (and today's) Marine casualties?

As best as I can understand it, the sniper group was surrounded and overrun.
How come there's not enough troops for flank security? Snipers are supposed to have lots of security. How come no air/chopper support?

How come there are no engineers sweeping the roads?

How come there are no night-vision patrols to keep the "bad guys" from setting up ambushes and IED's?

Sounds to me like there aren't enough Marines to accomplish the mission.

Sounds to me like the higher-ups have fucked up bigtime.

Sounds to me like the press isn't questioning any of the higher-ups.

All those brave men WASTED!

This country has no SOUL!
