Ahh, FUCK! Six grunts killed in Baqouba.

That brings the total to nine U.S. troops killed in the last two days. Sleep well, Bush, you murderous piece of shit.

1. That's 9 people that were, in my eyes, much more deserving of life than that weed.

2. The sad fact that this gets
so little attention on here is pathetic.

What's a line of caskets that would stretch five miles end to end. Where have our priorities fallen?

4. How long is a "standard" casket, 8 feet? If so, it would be six miles.

:grr: :mad: :cry:

edit: in any case, if I were independently wealthy, I'd have 3,920 made up and create a convoy to travel around the
country. Mess with traffic bigtime and get some attention.

5. Ahh Fuck!
The next ones are unknown,yet guaranteed...You've done it and I've known them.You tell me 11B-how many does it take to make a political blip? I wrote something like this drunk and stupid in the early morning hours...I'm going to bed now, past all our arguments and bullshit, somewhere in Iraq walks a young soldier who will be dead when I arise...I wrote something like that and he won't matter either. Do you remember it...walking point or slack. How did your blood beat those days?What will this country lose with the next death? Too many, and too few recognize the lives unlived and the children unborn...asskickers and movers gone.The guy I mentioned died in an IED convienietly and was ignored by morning...and I forgot his name too...may God rest many souls.

6. Cannon fodder reduced to statistics.
War is such a noble business.

7. Actually, you'll find more nobility in any random foxhole than in an entire College Republican club.

8. Well, I didn't find much in either.
Though my knowledge or Republican clubs is negligible and based on hearsay.

12. My foxhole experience differed greatly from yours.
(What was your theater of operations?)

Their service should be honored.

Bush and the GOP should not.

14. Has Bush killed 4,000 Americans yet?
We know over a million Iraqis are dead. Who will arrest this murderous fucking war criminal?

15. This is the third post about those Troops.
The 1st one got six replies & sunk out of sight. The 2nd one got about twice that & also sunk off the board. Until there are 30 or more Troops killed at once there won't be much of a reaction. The Death Toll of Troops is something that most Americans would rather not hear about.

19. Well, then it's a good thing the news networks are obliging them
Now that violence has dropped down to mere 2005 levels, I think we can all agree that the surge has worked--as long as the goal is to take the heat off Bush.

18. Sad how our soldiers' lives and billions in treasure "disappear" in early political FOG. nt
