GI's Are Beginning to Speak Out--And Their Families
I wasn't able to get here to post this two days ago but I saw a Nick Roberts report from Baghdad that had to have the Bush people running to the bathroom to vomit---in fact, it was the first time I saw a live report from Nick cut off by the bimbo at the front desk (one who is always cheerleading for Bush).

He told about how low the morale of the guys are with the news they are staying longer and showed a clip of an interview with a sargent. The GI said that morale was the lowest he had seen; this was a knockout punch; and that men were actually saying that they hoped they would be shot so they could be sent home. He said the troops just feel hopeless. But then CNN Headline news picked up some more:

Two military families: first was a kid who wanted his dad back and said Bush keeps changing his mind and "I don't know why he keeps doing that". The Mom explained that the boy felt lied to by Bush and also said that the guys are calling home and asking them (wives, families, us the citizens) to get them out of there. Another military wife said that husbands are calling home and begging wives to get them out of Baghdad.

Bullshit these guys support Bush---they know that this is a lying crock and that it's a hopeless dung heap over there. But I'd like to say to all the damn barstool patriots and their flag waving: Hey, assholes, put some action where your mouth is. You keep screaming we should support our troops; well, the troops are begging you to get them back home. So start leaning on your congresspeople to investigate Bush, impeach Bush for his lies, and bring our kids home. If you just sit their and wave your stupid flags, you are showing how much you don't care for them!!!! You dumbshits should have listened to those who "told you so" in the first place----how does the blood your licking off your fingers taste????

1. All I can say is be very careful what you wish for
They wished for Bush* to be selected and they got what they wished for. If they have any intelligence maybe they will pay a little better attention to who they vote for and what that person really stands for and what their history is. :nopity: They can sit there for several more years as far as I'm concerned.

3. That is easily the STUPIDEST thing I've ever heard!
Who are "they" and why do you think "they" should have to die in a desert in a foreign land? Do you really think "they" had a choice, and that all of "them" voted for Bush. You make all of us look horrible. You should be ashamed.

2. Time for peace movement and military wives to unite
in an anti-Bush, Bring the Troops Home Now Rally.
