R.I.P. SOLDIERS - 02/11/2003
My heart goes to all the mothers and fathers that will never again see their sons.

To all the wifes that will never again see their husbands.

To all the children that will never again see their dads...

The dads that won't see the home runs... The prom nights...

My prayers go with them. My heart is heavy with grief.

I say a prayer for them today.

I say a prayer for us today.

I say a prayer for THEM today.

THEY know who they are and THEY know what THEY've done.

Let God forgive them.

I can not.

RIP soldiers. I say a prayer for you today.

2. My sympathies to all those families
This is terrible beyond words, and the responsibility lies on the shoulders of one man, George W. Bush.

4. Many of these kids are also young Mothers....
their children are left without a Mom.

But since this is a huge attack, littleman bush will take advantage of the photo op when the body bags come home.

Very sad story this morning.

5. What a Solemn Day
Please let's not do what we did to Vietnam soldiers and their families. They are heroes. Hug a soldier and/or soldier's mother today if you can.

7. Mamas -- Bush is killing your babies
They are coming home in the middle of night, undercover, so we the people will not be reminded of Bush's crimes against his own people. That is how Bush honors them for dying in the service of their country--in his service to be exact-- These families will never be the same--and that includes the thousands of Iraqi families whose children were murdered by Bush for they are as human and as innocent as our precious children. This evil man lied to his own people in order to attack a smaller, sovereign country that he knew had no means to fight the US military machine--made up stories , ie lied, to his own terrified people, waited until the UN verified that there were no weapons of mass destruction, continued to terrorize his own people with exaggerated claims of a "potential" terrorist attack and then attacked Iraq and took the country and it's spoils for himself, his daddy and mommy, Cheney and Halliburton--all with his own people's money and--all of the havoc and all of the blood, the stench, the smoke, the tears of war and killings all done on a lie.

He got away with it--he still sits in the White House acting tough, talking tough, his idea of the opposite of "intellectual" which all fascists hate, and he is full of putrid, foul smelling air.

He got away with it.



Why has he been allowed to stay in the White House without much of a murmur against these crimes coming from the people? Why no outrage? He is killing our children--and lying about it.


These are crimes committed by this little, mealy mouthed man ----this is treason. He is harmful to this country. He is putting us in jeopardy with his ill advised murders and his lies. The entire world look upon us as scum. Why are we tortured day after day with fawning reports of his idiotic statements, his stupidity and his abilities to raise large obscene amounts of money for his campaign and visions of his ugly, fat face in front of a church sign that says "Lord" and "King" with a crown over his head. Why?

Why are we not out in the streets every day demanding he stop his insanity in Iraq, stop killing our children with his disgusting taunts of "Bring em on"? Why are we tolerating a beady eyed idiot who has brought his country into two wars and does not know the difference between a lie and the truth? Why are we letting him go on in this way--hiding our war dead--bringing them home in boxes in the middle of the night so no one will know of them--and so no one can honor them as they should be?

8. Zell Miller is on Meet the Press saying the US should stay in Iraq

and accusing the Democratic candidates of defeatism, and of pursuing the worse aspects of policies advocated by McGovern back in 1972.

If you don't withdraw the troops now, you will only succeed in having more days like today.
