Why didn't ANY of the Senators mention the 100,000 dead Iraqis?

Not one of them mentioned the fact that, because of Condiliar, over 100,000 innocent Iraqis have died. Even the Senators who voted no omitted that fact from their speeches. Why? Don't they want the sheeple to know? Or do they just not give a crap? They did mention our soldiers who were injured and killed and I kept waiting for one of them to say something about the Iraqis and no one ever did. :( <sigh>

to mention the obvious: as a necessary condition of fighting a guerilla war, "our young men and women" are killing Iraqi civilians. While this is indisputably true, highlighting it is considered bad form, in that it besmudges the reflexively constructed image of unassailable nobility of our troops. Hence the automatic "I support the troops" declaration from every member of Congress, whether they criticize the war or not.

their job is to maintain the status quo, while giving those of us who DO oppose, someone to vote for that has the false appearance of being non-status quo

the 2-party system at its finest

I don't think I have EVER heard a Congressperson say ANYTHING about the death of Iraqis. That's disturbing. :(

their buddies are getting rich too, after all

Money is more important than the life of a human being? ~~~~shiver~~~~ Gives me the creeps! :scared:

the more things change the more they stay the same and all that


for a plutocrat, nothing is more important than money, especially the lives of brown-skineed 'savages'

:puke:

didn't he say something like - as well as thousands and thousands of Iraqi civilians - I was so fascinated by his sheer determination, I missed a lot of what he said.

He seems to be the only Dem remaining who will stand and speak the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth.

didn't. It really saddens me as people just don't know what havoc our nation has created. You have no idea how I am horrified that these people were killed in cold blood in my name.

These are Human Beings that were husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, cousins, nieces, nephews, lovers, best friends, neighbors. And each one of their deaths will affect deeply those who are surviving.

During the Coronation, Ron Reagan Jr. in response to a comment that Chris Matthews said about the victims of 9/11 spoke out and said, that there are many more children dead in Iraq because of the war. He had the guts to mention the unmentionable, and yet to my best recall, not one single Senator......

Karma is going to bite us deeply in the ass.

I believe that people whose skins aren't necessarily, you know, are a different color than white, can self-govern.
