6. Well my Marine Brother In Law
Edited on Wed May-23-07 01:35 AM by temperancedissent
died early on in this fucking war. Left behind his wife and 2 kids. He was my younger Brother's best friend.

And he died for what? Lies Lies Lies on top of more Lies. And you know they're Lies.

Go to that website, go to the year 2003, March, scroll down to the bottom of that page and tell me who the second name from the bottom listed is and that's how fucking long we've been missing him.

I've had enough of WAR:mad: and death:cry: and killing:-(

I find it insulting that you would even consider the idea of a draft much less be an advocate for one. Indeed!

on edit: add month of March

The rich won't stand for it. We have the same goal, just different ways to obtain that goal.

They have that option.

9. i hear 9 more
deaths were announced this morning. AND they may have found the body of one of the missing soldiers. IF he was tortured does anyone think the MSM will mention Abu-Ghraib (sp)?

10. It is time to impeach Bush
It is way past time to impeach Bush
If our Democrat leadership doesn't get the ball rolling soon, bush will walk and never have to answer for this mess.
