1. Damn it, this is what we should be yelling about

not some poor brain-damaged woman laying in a bed in Florida, being wrangled over by republican lawmakers trying to make points with their wacko base.

How about these deaths, huh, President Bush??? Don't see you rushing back from the White House to meet the coffins at the airport, or meet with the families of the men you sent to die.

Damn cowards and hypocrites, all of them.

2. No Pictures of this.

We need a guerrilla media capable of fielding reporters to these locations, not ones that stayed holed up in Baghdad hotels writing up press releases from the Iraqi Ministry of Information.

Thanks don for posting this.

I haven't forgot in spite of the Mass distraction of Scott Peterson, Michael Jackson, Schiavo et al

There are still young americans dying fighting an oily War for the Bush Criminals economic interests.

4. Paralyzed Iraq vet to seek experimental treatment

"After two years they say that if it hasn't come back, it isn't going to," Wittling said at his home Wednesday afternoon.

That isn't something that Wittling believes. Despite the odds against him, he continues to hold onto the firm conviction that one day, he will walk again. It's a hard-core Marine toughness of conviction that has sustained Wittling since the day in April of 2003 when the Humvee he was riding in flipped over in Iraq, breaking his neck and nearly ending his life.

After nearly two years of medical treatment and therapy, Wittling has regained partial use of his arms, but still can't stand or walk, still can't open his claw-like hands to grasp anything. Conventional medicine can't offer him much hope either. All the medical books say once the nerves in his spinal column were damaged in the accident, there is no way of repairing them.

But Wittling says there is another, albeit more unconventional hope. Stem cell research done outside the U.S. has given hope to the hopeless, he says.

It's given him hope.

6. Really? you mean, there are other things going on in the world?

sarcasm off...

Now, I just read that 27 house members are trying to get a resolution to withdraw from Iraq. Do you think that'll have any legs?

9. Kick their ass and take their gas!

They hate us for our freedoms!

Our soldiers have a better chance of getting hit by a car in a US city than getting killed in Iraq.

(Just thought I'd provide the other perspective, we're nothing if not Fair&Balanced)

10. Apparently they're having a hard time getting the gas/oil
