4. My home state

so I keep an eye on the soldier's name and home when Stephanopoulous scrolls the deaths on Sunday mornings. It seems like NH has lost a lot of young kids for such a little place. Not that every death, no matter where the soldier comes from isn't another crime against this bunch of warmongers. I'd hate to be the Governor of any state with their Guard stationed in Iraq. Unlike the Chimperor, they actually have to deal with the families.
:cry:

5. It's tough everywhere, but in a small-town state somehow it seems "closer"

What a complete mess we're in.

7. Next to CA NH has the highest number of women vets.

I don't know what it is for men, but it has to be comparable.

3. Never forget that The Old Man of the Mountain lost face and crumbled

to dust on May 3, 2003 in the Granite State of NH -- the day immediately after Commander George AWOL Bush wore a codpiece and strutted the deck of the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln proclaiming "Mission Accomplished" In Iraq

Apparently the honorable Old Man of the Mountain couldn't take the Bush-Republicon lies anymore, and so the noble rock took the path of seppuku - ritual suicide.

I salute the Granite State soldiers who have given their all for their nation; while I lament the lies their government officials have told to them.

10. Pile 'em high

~~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
