Ironic isn't it?

[Aviation Pro]

That the press can show the flag drapped coffins of the brave firefighters who lost their lives this past week:



BUT...

Nary a photo of the over seventy brave servicemembers who lost their lives this month in Iraq.

2. Rec'd, though I don't know if ironic is the word.

:mad:

[valerief]

3. Well, they can always get more firefighters, but getting more soldiers

is quite a bit tougher.

They are all evil scoundrels. (The WH not the firefighters and soldiers, of course.)

5. Damn it,I never thought of that.

9. And the politicians can crawl out

And Chertoff can speak and Bush can send a message. It's criminal.

10. No it's just ...

noble liars taking advantage of someone else's noble loss.

11. i cant make the national press cover better, but

and links to local press coverage, which is actually pretty good in most cases

[Az]

13. Thats not irony. Thats travesty

[alteredstate]

14. I live in Charleston

and am devastated by the loss of brave firefighters. My stepson is serving in Baghdad with the 82nd Airborne, and I realized what we experienced here on Monday night is just another day in Iraq.
