3. Yeah, but we got Zarqawi!

So that makes all of the American lives lost and the hundreds of billions spent worth it. Right? :shrug: 2,500 American families lives torn apart so bush can crow about Zarqawi's death. That's a fair deal, isn't it? :sarcasm:

5. Zarqawi will Never Attack New York City again!

And of this you can be sure.

7. And they are hidden from us so well.

All the dead. The dead G.I.'s, the dead Iraqis, unless you look it up on the web, you'd never see the real horror of it all.

8. You are so right.

I have a pin I wear every day. I change the numbers on it each morning according to the info at the site. When I tell people who ask about it what the numbers mean, the most common response I get is, "Is it really that many? I didn't realize that." Very sad.
These squatters in our White House have been so abusive to so many here and abroad in so many ways. The betrayal of trust, the secrecy, the pilfering of our tax dollars, the diminishing of our Constitutional rights. The list is almost endless, and all done without legitimate consent. The average American is kept completely in the dark, because the corporate media is well-fed. Without the internet and word of mouth, even the aggressively curious would be in the dark as well.
