1. Explain the "something" that he died for.

It certainly wasn't to protect our freedoms, as Iraqis aren't exactly capable of coming over here by the planeload, invading America, burning our Constitution (King George already beat them to it) and holding our womens hostage.

It wasn't to protect me from the evil Iraqi citizens, countless amounts of whom have been obliterated as a result of this lie.

It wasn't to protect my right to Freedom of Speech - that's already granted to me. And you. And everyone.

So exactly WHY was he killed, 45%ers? Do tell, I'm ALL ears.

3. As I just said in another thread - OIL. n/t

5. Unfortunately, yes. This is a shameful chapter in American history. nt

2. Well his death did help Bush become a War President

which I guess is what Bush was hoping to be, to try to get re-elected, and he was willing to get any number of people killed for his political motives.

But since Bush is nothing, Cindy's son died for nothing.

4. He was a pawn in a rich man's game...

Same as the rest of us.
