silence.........RIP... young soldiers died because Bush lied.

http://www.cbsnews.com/elements/2003/07/10/in_depth_us/photoessay562644.shtml

These young men died because Bush refused to let the
United Nation inspectors do their job.

These young men died in a far off land because Bush
planned to occupy the oil fields of Iraq years ago.

These young men died because of Cheney's lust for
oil and power, and corporate profits.

These young men died because Bush lied and scared
Congress & Americans of a nuclear threat they
knew was false.



the mother who will never see her son again


a mother who will never hug her son again







the little boy who cries because his father died -





--------------

may you rot in hell Mr Bush.
may you rot in hell Mr Cheney
may you rot in hell Mr Wolfowitz
may you rot in hell Mr Pearle
may all the PNAC cabal rot in hell
with their blood money of corporate war profits

I needed a good cry today. This did it. When will people wake up!

The majority think it was a good idea. I don't think they are going to change their minds. I pray I'm wrong.

as a Desert Storm Vet, I learned war isnt something one should take lightly. There better be damn good reason to get involved in one. People's lives are too valuable for unworthy foreign intrigue.

Everytime I hear of another death over there, particulary after "mission accomplished", I become furious.

Most of these men and women are just kids in my eyes. Makes me sick.

glad you made it back ok.
