One comforting reality hit while watching Nightline.......
Seeing those images of those men and women...their lives sacrificed for nothing.....so many of them....so many young people with their whole lives ahead of them....reality crept in and I realized that there is one small grain of comfort in seeing the pictures and hearing their names spoken:

The blood of each and every one of them is on W's hands. That's an enormous amount of blood. I wonder if W stands in the bathroom at night, alone and frightened, trying to wash the blood off his hands ala MacBeth?

I think that someday when W is an old man lingering on his death bed, he will think about all that blood on his hands and be tortured at the thought of what will await him on the other side as a result of him capriciously spilling that blood as if it were nothing more than spilled milk.

I suspect he will be a fearful, haunted old man.

That shouldn't make me feel better...but it does.

Sociopaths usually never feel bad about anything they do, anyone they have hurt/killed.

Also, I watched that Frontline Jesus thing last night, and is some pix, Bush appears insane. Insane.

In one picture, he actually looks like Ted Bundy.

2. Bush will never feel shame
It is a foreign concept to him. He's the most narcicistic (sp?) person in history. His selfishness is amazing.

3. I think you're wrong. Bush thinks he is doing what God told him.
He really doesn't think there's anything wrong with this war. He's SAVING the people of Iraq and he'll be rewarded.

I think he's nuts, but that's what he thinks

4. unfortunately for all of us Kzoo, Bush has already told us he doesn't
spend much time "analyzing" what he does and why he does them. I really really wish this guy would find a 12 step program. A little 4th step (Step 4 "Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves") work would do wonders for him and the rest of the world.

5. You're assumimg...............
that Bush has a conscience. I've seen no evidence throughout his entire lifetime that this is so. As previously stated, God has PERSONALLY told Bush that this is the correct action to be taken. It scares the bejeebuzz out of me when people tell me they have a direct link to God. What they DO have is a direct link to mental illness.
Bush has no conscience, he's mentally unsound.

They are all guilty

6. I'd agree with you, but
GWB doesn't give a shit. He ordered those brave young men and women to their deaths without a second thought. His holy war has been realized, and the dead mean nothing to him. It's times like this that I wish I believed in Hell. If there were such a place he'd burn in it forever, the murderous bastard.

8. I heard that he refers to the dead solders as OFUs'
It was at the website called take back the media. If I recall correctly, symbolman used it in one of his flash movies. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember it to mean ONE FODDER UNIT.

10. funny you mention that
I long time ago i had a vision about Rumsfeld 20-25 years from now, coming clean with a McNamara-like book, and admitting he was wrong and he knew it all along...

11. the only comfort I will find is if these pictures prompt Americans . . .
to wake up and begin to understand just how dangerous and destructive BushCo really is . . . I tell myself that no one could watch that and not be affected, bt then I wonder how many who have supported Bush actually watched it . . .
