1. The dishonesty in calling them 'Multi-national forces' so that they can
make it sound better than 'American' or 'British' turns my stomach. Do they really think that we don't know who is dying??????

4. HOW MANY MORE GEORGIE HOW MANY MORE?
Edited on Sat Oct-21-06 02:41 PM by seemslikeadream


B.f.p.o.
Army dreamers.
Mammy’s hero.
B.f.p.o.
Mammy’s hero.

Our little army boy
Is coming home from b.f.p.o.
I’ve a bunch of purple flowers
To decorate a mammy’s hero.

Mourning in the aerodrome,
The weather warmer, he is colder.
Four men in uniform
To carry home my little soldier.

What could he do?
Should have been a rock star.
But he didn’t have the money for a guitar.
What could he do?
Should have been a politician.
But he never had a proper education.
What could he do?
Should have been a father.
But he never even made it to his twenties.
What a waste --
Army dreamers.
Ooh, what a waste of
Army dreamers.

Tears o’er a tin box.
Oh, jesus christ, he wasn’t to know,
Like a chicken with a fox,
He couldn’t win the war with ego.

Give the kid the pick of pips,
And give him all your stripes and ribbons.
Now he’s sitting in his hole,
He might as well have buttons and bows.

What could he do?
Should have been a rock star.
But he didn’t have the money for a guitar.
What could he do?
Should have been a politician.
But he never had a proper education.
What could he do?
Should have been a father.
But he never even made it to his twenties.
What a waste --
Army dreamers.
Ooh, what a waste of
Army dreamers.
Ooh, what a waste of all that
Army dreamers,
Army dreamers,
Army dreamers, oh...

(b.f.p.o.)
Did-n-did-n-did-n-dum...
Army dreamers.
Did-n-did-n-did-n-dum...
(mammy’s hero.)
(b.f.p.o.)
Army dreamers.
(mammy’s hero.)
(b.f.p.o.)
No harm heroes.
(mammy’s hero.)
(b.f.p.o.)
Army dreamers.
(mammy’s hero.)
(b.f.p.o.)
No harm heroes.

Kate Bush



They owe us the truth before the next war begins.

14. So glad you found this photo. Who would have expected a U.S. President
to sneak his dead back into the country as if he's ashamed of them?

He doesn't want Americans to know he's killing so many off just because he can. What power! No one can stop him.

Whenever anyone questions the wisdom of these deaths, right-wingeers speak right up: "They knew what they were getting into when they signed up."

5. Rest in Peace, Marines. Please come back and haunt Dumbya
and ask him how much longer they have to wait before coming up with a new plan for Iraq, and why he's playing politics with it by waiting until after the election.

16. They always call it "al-Anbar Province" & not Fallujah
or Haditha.

18. Thank God they were all volunteers
Imagine the public outcry and opposition to this bullshit war if these dead American men and women were draftees!

Oh yeah, how many Iraqi dead during this same period? 10X, 20X, 30X as many? Who is counting and who really cares?

20. Stack 'em higher and then start a new pile

Grass Bush

Pile the bodies high in Austerlitz and Waterloo Iraq
Shovel them under and let me work--
I am the grass; bush; I cover all.

And pile them high in Gettyburg Baghdad
And pile them high in Ypres and Vedum Mossoul and Al Fallaujah

Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:
What place is this?

I am the grass bush.
Let me work.

Carl Sandburg


Support the war - Donate a Son a Daughter
The GOP working for a better America
God Bless America
