24. MEANWHILE THE CHIMPANZEE IGNORES THE SUFFERING
AWOL can't go to a funeral for fear the deceased relatives will ask why their loved one died for Haliburton, Exxon or the Carlyle Group.

2. 1, 2, 3 a day
Hell has broken loose, and the Bush Gang still sits on their hands, refusing to beg the UN to take over..
Murdering our sons, as Bush takes his vacation and the neocons think up more spin and lies.
These people are the most vicious bastards I have ever seen all my years of living.
Rest in peace, young men and women who are dying for NOTHING in the name of the goddamned bastards and their corporate buddies who sent you over to protect their greed.
AMERICA WAKE UP

16. Get your son out of the country . . .
Don't let him go.

I understand that you are going through hell . . . I take it that he must be in the reserves or the military already. I hope that he doesn't go to Iraq.

There is nothing honorable about going over to Iraq to die for Haliburton and the Carlyle Group.

My son tuns 18 next June, and should there be a draft, we've already agreed that he's leaving the country.

I'd rather break the law than let them kill my son in their dispicable invasion.

17. Why Leave The Country When You Can Just Be Gay?
He won't have to serve if he just says he's gay. I say we use the military's homophobia to get out of being forced to join. Why not?

18. You're a genius!!!!!
Yes, when my son turns 18 he's going to come out of the closet!

What a brilliant idea. I'm going to pass it around to a few of my friends who are mothers of teenage boys.

23. Oh, Mari
I'm so sorry. You must save your son, even if it means helping him to run away.

This is horrible, unbelievable. I can't believe my country is doing this terrible thing.

4. Come on, people, vote this up
It wasn't on my yahoo home page, maybe it's just happened, but we need to keep it up in people's faces.

The tin-foil hat part of me wonders if they keep these pieces of news under wraps until the morning "news" shows are over, ie "Today" or "GMA".

12. what an a*hole................
what else can you say, the a*hole plays golf while our troops die, his big concern is if he can fit some more corporate oil Dick in mouth. Now he's sweating over his popularity witnessed by the fact that at his Vet speech he said Iraq may not have been the U.S.'s last strike. Oh, and anyone listen to NPR this morning regarding the piece on the record deficit, to paraphrase, well the deficit won't cause immediate harm right now, it's down the road that'll be a problem, we shouldn't leave our children with such a large debt. WTF!!!!!! We've gone from a $350Billion surplus to a $401+Billion dollar deficit in TWO FUCKING YEARS!!!!!!!!!!! We need to get a handle on this fucker now! or we'll be fucked beyond all perception

9. May they rest in peace
And may their families be comforted by the Commander-in-Chief's grief. I'm sure he'll call them and express his condolences.

13. Repugs pissed media "focuses" on deaths
Acutally, I bet the Repugs are getting pissed that the media is focusing on deaths on purpose to "make us look like losers", it's war there's going to be death, oh yeah, well why to don't you send your lilly white Republican ASS to Iraq and really fight for what you so whole heartedly believe in.
While we Democrats fight for sanity and balance in a world of 6 Billion people with limited resources and hundreds of different religions and ethnic groups

14. They Repugs have been on cable news preaching that now for several days
Just about everywhere. That is all I am hearing lately. If the media didn't report all of these American deaths that would make everything just fine again is what they say.They are idiots. But the people who belive that crap are the real idiots.
