CNN posts the faces of the 435 coalition soldiers killed so far!

[ElementaryPenguin]

Both heart breaking and sickening!

Support our troops, huh? Fascist Empire Repukes clearly couldn't give a shit!

:puke:

1. it's about time

and sadly, passing this link around will probably get me dubbed as un-American

:grr:


but I'm doing it anyway.

remember the firefighters and EMT's from 9/11? They had pics and names all over tv then, memorializing these heroes who gave their lives for their country.

but if you give your life in Iraq, you are forgotten :mad:

[ElementaryPenguin]

3. Great point about all the fanfare for 9-11 victims, firefighters - while

Iraq veterans get squat! Truly the Vietnam nightmare all over! How soon before the new Middle East version of "Apocalypse Now" gets produced? Perhaps not until the Evil Chimp Cabal has the friggin' Draft back in full swing!

21. MSNBC used to have a segment

called "America's Bravest" or "America's Heroes"... something like that.

I've noticed they don't seem to do it anymore...

2. EP, Thanks for Posting This.

As Arcane1 said, "It's about time."

Bush's war.

"Bring 'em on", Bush dared those who would hurt our soldiers.
"I mean what I say" Bush had lectured the world over and over.

[ElementaryPenguin]

4. "Bring 'em on!" Still the most despicable statement ever made by an

American Chimp, er, president!!!

[arcane1]

6. and that statement is STILL, to this day...

part of my dad's e-mail sig line :puke:

[ElementaryPenguin]

10. And he's not being facetious?? WTF??

If he's not - I can imagine you have quite a few "heated" discussions! Or worse - you can't talk politics at all. (the present arrangement of have with my Repuke in-laws - even though they have recently sworn off the evil war chimp!! More evidence that his reselection effort is doomed - assuming we can get a Diebold free, legit election in this country!)

[arcane1]

12. oh hell no, and we don't talk politics AT ALL

his sig line reads as follows (but in red white and blue letters)

"Bring'em On"
"THE GAME IS OVER"
"MY FELLOW AMERICANS, LET'S ROLL"
"WE NOT TIRE, WE WILL NOT FALTER, WE WILL NOT FAIL"


he loves that tough talk, which is why, IMHO, the repubes get so many votes. Politics as pro Rasslin'

he's Nat'l Guard, FOX news on constantly when he's home. Used to send me Clinton body count emails, etc, but after I debunked every single one of them via snopes, I hardly get any email at all from him any more :-(

on a plus side, he's not a fundie! :-)

[ElementaryPenguin]

20. My condolences, bro. At least you stopped the vicious cycle of

Insane conservatism!! My father was a liberal Dem - raised by a wealthy, completely Repuke family! He said he ALWAYS felt like he was growing up in a household full of strangers!! Bizarro!

[arcane1]

22. I know how he feels...

and you are right, the madness stops with me!!!!

well, that particular madness, anyway :silly:

[Serenades]

8. fdg

It's truly unbelievable that nothing was made of that comment. I honestly think the American public has trouble distinguishing between television drama and true leadership.

[justjones]

5. Looking at the pictures....

and the faces of the men and women who have sacrificed their lives...THEIR PRECIOUS LIVES...there are no words for the sadness I feel for them and their families, or the utter disgust I feel for Bush and this administration....none.

[ElementaryPenguin]

7. My sentiments exactly, jj - so let's spread that site everywhere!!

None but the meanest spirited of Repukes can look at these young faces without being moved and/or disgusted!!

[arcane1]

14. agreed

and welcome to DU! :hi:

[newyawker99]

17. Hi justjones!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[blondeatlast]

24. I'd have preferred a more pleasant thread, but still . . .

Welcome to DU!

When I see you on another thread, remind me I owe you a cyber-beer. It doesn't seem right here.

[gratuitous]

9. 435? One for every member of the House

Unutterably sad. And for what? A "threat" that didn't exist, and a shitload of money to be transferred out of the federal treasury and into the overstuffed pockets of Bush administration campaign benefactors.

Sorry we wasted your lives for nothing, sons and daughters of Democracy. You really deserved better.

[ElementaryPenguin]

15. Bottom line is, "average American" (whatever that means) doesn't seem to

Give a shit, do they? Where the FUCK is the outrage????

[blondeatlast]

25. Good God, what a thought. Next time I see them in session, I will remember

that. I'd like one Congressperson to mention that the next time.

I can just see the chickenhawk's faces.

[DinahMoeHum]

11. The McNeil-Leher News Hour on PBS does this as well. . .

near the end of each broadcast (or at least on Friday evenings), they show the photos of the most recent dead in a moment of silence.

:cry:

13. waist deep in the big muddy

Well, you might not want to draw conclusions
I'll leave that to yourself
Maybe you're still walking, maybe you're still talking
Maybe you've still got your health.
But every time I hear the news
That old feeling comes back on;
We're waist deep in the Big Muddy
And the damn fools kept yelling to push on.

Knee deep in the Big Muddy
And the damn fools keep yelling to push on
Waist deep in the Big Muddy
And the damn fools keep yelling to push on
Waist deep! Neck deep! we'll be drowning before too long
We're neck deep in the Big Muddy
And the damn fools keep yelling to push on

(Pete Seger)

[bobbieinok]

18. Seeger played/sang this on the Smothers Brothers Show

during the Vietnam War.

One of the events that caused CBS to kick them off the air.

I think he sang ...'and the DAMN FOOL keeps yelling to push on' ...a very clear reference to LBJ.

[Cat Atomic]

16. I count 22 "vehicle accidents" on the first 2 pages alone.

Alot of guys are driving into ravines over there. Yeah, right.

[bobbieinok]

19. bartcop has more

Which number is more apt to be correct?????

[ElementaryPenguin]

23. The higher number - no doubt!
