63. what kind of emotional problems
Tue Mar 5, 2013, 12:08 AM
Mar 2013

cause men in helicopters to shoot at civilians in their own nation? Then laugh about it?

There are emotional problems all right, and Thank God for Bradley and all the rest that do what they can.

How much longer do you think the US Military will be hovering over a land 8000 miles away, 12 years after the "cause"? How many more "bugsplats" will there be? This is madness on display. These people have gone insane. It's that simple.

That's good. Cleita Mar 2013 #1
