2. Don't count
To the US military command, these people will not count, since the only lives they report are those of "coalition" members. The pilot may, or maybe not, feel sorrow.

One thing for sure, elements of the Indonesian people today became anti-American.

6. He's a christian? No. He's the anti-christ.

Just look at how well he's pulled the nations of the world together to do good deeds for all men.

Bush is the DEFINITION of Chaos.

9. Soldiers blogs from Iraq last Thursday and Friday spoke of "total combat"
situation in parts of Iraq, they also confirmed the stop-loss rumors, everyone is staying at least 4 months beyond their year or "until the mission is complete":grr:

AC-130's were used in Fallujah.:argh:in a reprisal for the killing and abuse of corpses of mercenaries, who have CHOSEN to PROFIT from WAR. Hired guns with federalized employee status, rent-a commandos, paramilitaries, death squads, terrorists, gangsters, racist cops and ex-military, all CHOSE to go after the BIG BUCKS-they would WORK for Osama bin-Laden if the price were right, they are outlaws-literally.
They are outside the laws, they are criminals undermining and abusing, not defending our US Constitution like OUR GI's.

Mercenaries, if they happen to be Americans, should NOT expect US military support for their profit driven motives-tough shit that they CHOSE to PROFIT on WAR-- they put US and US military at risk by their behavior-they are most hated because they are thugs and jackboots for HIRE:puke::grr: not professional US military that are being abused by George W. Bush aka The War President:nuke:

Only a culture of death would defend the use of mercenaries, not Americans. Remember, Halliburton, until recently was charging wounded GI's in military hospitals for their food.

This OUTRAGEOUS policy has officially ended, and GI's that had to PAY for the FOOD served to them after being WOUNDED in the US MILITARY will be reimbursed, as explained in this Stars and Stripes article.

Mercenaries that are part of political campaign contributing businesses awarded contracts by George W. Bush's administration
http://www.publicintegrity.org/wow/resources.aspx?act=contrib
Fascists, supported by racists following The War President- not Americans defending our Constitution like our GI's and getting abused by criminal leadership.:grr:

10. so we 'accidentally' hit one of our *own* ambulances
i suspect, given recent information, the only accident was that it was on our side.

15. They haven't hit a kindergarten yet, have they?
I am sure there is some kind of fresh outrage in store. Let's see:
- mosques
- hospitals
- ambulances

Thanks Bush, for your criminal war.
