1. CNN

What happened at CNN it is 1:30AMCST and they are showing war pictures. They are showing people killed and wounded, ambulances rushing to the the scene, there is blood everywhere, people are crying and screaming.

Every time I think about out military being maimed and killed I despise bush and his henchmen more and more. How can that man get up in the morning and look at himself in the mirror and not cringe. How can he strut to the military camps, go to lay wreaths on the graves and not be absolutely mortified that he and he alone is the cause of all this chaos.

For what. Why. why oh tell me why did we go to Iraq. More and more you have to think it was because of the oil. I read somewhere that bush and his oil buddies have almost secured ALL the leases for the oil that will come out of Iraq. NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY, NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO I WILL NEVER BELIEVE OTHERWISE, IT WAS FOR THE OIL AND GREED.

And all those innocent men, women and little children along with our military killed, maimed and bloodied. I cried the whole time I saw the clip...bush ==bush caused this.

2. Thank you. There has been more shown of the war

and dead since the election than the years before. Remember when Ted Coppel was demonized by the right for showing the 500 dead?

W has tried to keep this war silent. No longer. These men and women deserve recognition.

3. K&R - Despite the DLC/RNC, people voted out repukes to end the bloodshed!

We need to stop the hemorrhaging of life and money in a situation that is clearly beyond our control. Let the Iraqis do what they will- divide into 3 countries, continue their civil war - obvious that the ground is crumbling from under us. It's called reality. Not "surrender" or any other fantasy RW talking point.
