51 Soldiers :patriot:

Bring 'em on. Yelled the top Chickenhawk
but elsewhere in America a father is so heavy w/
pain he can barely walk.

A mother gets up to make the morning coffee
and breaks down and starts to cry
"My Baby, my boy, my buddy you were
not supposed to die."

A boy of about 10 walks out in his yard .....
Where he and his daddy used to play so hard.

A girl in Wisconsin can not think about life without
her sis.
The talks, the laughter, the fights, the holidays she
will not be there .... God, her pal she will Miss.

Everything is going fine in Iraq. And besides, it's Clinton's fault.

9. Imagine if this was Clinton...
...every thing that BUSHitler has done, just sub the word CLINTON in for it, and ask a rethugliKKKon how that would have gone over.

THANK GODS THE "LIBERAL MEDIA" IS DOING ALL THEY CAN TO REPORT ON THIS! NOT!

10. Puhleeeeese tell me..............
how can anyone possibly believe that Bush has a personal relationship with God? Or how anyone can believe for a nanosecond that the brute believes in God at all. It's inconceivable to me that any religious person who is not a hypocrite can promote war on a whim.

11. He has no soul, no conscience. How could anyone with a
conscience vacation while we are at war, how could they relax or sleep at night when our soldiers are dieing in an illegal and immoral war, based on lies? How could anyone sleep at night when innocent citizens of this world are being killed because of lies and greed?

17. I wish the media would put this out daily - let the people see the
names - know that those killed are not just numbers, they were people and they had families and lives and hopes and dreams.

I have to update this information daily - I post a new post once or twice a day. :cry:

18. We will have an entire generation of wounded folks returning
to society, trying to forget, trying to find forgiveness, trying to find healing and peace. May we find the strength to help them heal and find peace. :cry:

20. The knucklehead in chief thinks he makes no mistakes
How he can continue to wrestle with pretzels and his bike while all hell is breaking loose is unforgiveable.
A real president would cut short their vacation to shake the trees and find a way out of Iraq. Being that he wants to stay there, he does nothing and unleashed the hounds on Cindy Sheehan and anyone else who wants to save face now and get out. :banghead:
