1. DAMN, that's good!

And if you don't cry from rage, sorrow, and frustration you have no heart or soul.

Thanks for the link.

2. Superb

Sad, but powerful. Not sure if you're the creator, but if so, may I make a small suggestion? Round off your numbers. Refering to 1.99 dead per day is too cold and statistical. It draws attention to the number rather than the lives. "2 dead per day" would be accurate and it's more human since we think of lives in whole numbers.

4. Not mine.

But you're right--it should be 2 lives a day.

3. wow....

alright, now I know sometimes war is the only option we have. but I never was sold on this one. this is a powerful animation. However, I also fell that eince Iraq is our mess, we havta stay there till the job's done or else we will suffer a devastating loss.

14. Wow Wee ....

first of all, welcome to DU ...

I also feel that since Iraq is our mess, we havta stay there till the job's done or else we will suffer a devastating loss

that's a noble but misguided sentiment ... the problem is that we are continuing to exploit Iraq for corporate gain ... if we were genuinely there to help the Iraqis, and if they really wanted us there, we would be in a different situation ... but this is just not the case ...

as the video showed, this is like "pigs at feed" ... we are occupiers allowing our, not foreign, corporations to suck up our $87 billion for their own greedy profits ... and suck up Iraq's resources as well ... we are not going to "build a democracy" and we are not going to "rebuild the infrastructure" except to the extent that our corporations are able to exploit its rebuilding ...

we need to get the hell out of there for the benefit of our troops, the Iraqi people, and the future of the U.S. ... Iraq is in for a great internal struggle and this needs to happen whether the U.S. stays for 6 months or 6 years ... the path we're currently on will only invite more violence and terrorism, both within Iraq and within the U.S. ...

13. I've been supporting BushFlash a long time

Eric is great. His flash videos reflect a mind which is both tormented and motivated by bush**.

Please peruse his site a bit further. You will be amazed, if you aren't already familiar with his work. And remember that Eric, unlike bush**, wasn't born with a silver spoon up his butt. Please donate just a few bucks to him now and then. Every time I view a new video of his, I give him five dollars. It's worth it, because he's getting the message out in a powerful way.

I apologize if promoting monetary support for BushFlash has offended anyone.

20. Heartbreaking....

But so talented. I would love to see the 'artist' at buzzflash make ads for the DNC and/or our Democratic Nominee.

[linazelle]

23. WOW

Powerful...I'm sending it to my friends via email.

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

24. amazing - they named names

That was great. I'm so glad they listed the names of the corporations getting the contracts and doing profiting from the soldier's deaths. Naming is a good strategy.
