4. Need to change my sign

in ONE weeks time, the sign I hold on the side of
a busy Cape Cod highway will jump from 1655 to 1700.

I hold 2 signs, one "RIP 1700"
the other IMPEACH , and take to hitting
the road on Fri and Sat, during high peak
tourist traffic time.

Weve lost 15 troops in 1 weeks time:cry:

5. Rest in peace. Cpl. James L. Moore returning home to his family in Rosebur

PS (These children were supposed to be flown in at NIGHT the previous day but a bad storm hit the North West which forced a delay. THIS IS THE ONLY REASON THIS OCCURRED IN DAYLIGHT HOURS. This was reported in the local newspapers. Where are the American Liberal Press Corp who are exploiting this type of treatment to American Dead War Heros by Bush and Meyers?)

We were on our way to Seattle and stopped off in Roseburg for gas, ice-cream, and then to the hardware store. I heard some loud helicopters nearing then looked up and saw the dark images. I asked the clerk. "Is that the boy coming home?" She never answered but we both started crying immediately.

Shame on the American media. Shame on the Republican Party!

The other helicopter contains the body of what I understood was a soldier from Yreka. If someone can find out who, please PM me so that I can give him the honor he deserves as the President of the United States and GOP leadership and Conservative Media spit on his coffin.

Most of the people along the fence line collapsed as did the family next to the silver hearst. The women workers at the hardware store all collapsed. The men, all macho rednecks, did everything they could to not burst out in tears. Most of the men disappeared within seconds.

Only the Bush/GOP Crime Family, American Corporate Whore Media, and sucking coward Republicans sending other people's children to die support the Slaughter Invasion of Iraq!

Being me an honest anti-aWol-slaugther DU member. What would you guess the odds that we happen to be driving by a town in the middle of nowhere, stopping at a hardware store which happens to be opposite of a country airport, and having soldiers coming home? This must have been divine intervention.

7. HOW MANY MORE GEORGIE, HOW MANY MORE?

No Man Can Find The War


Photographs of guns and flame
Scarlet skull and distant game
Bayonet and jungle grin
Nightmares dreamed by bleeding men
Lookouts tremble on the shore
But no man can find the war

Tape recorders echo scream
Orders fly like bullet stream
Drums and cannons laugh aloud
Whistles come from ashen shroud
Leaders damn the world and roar
But no man can find the war

Is the war across the sea?
Is the war behind the sky?
Have you each and all gone blind:
Is the war inside your mind?

Humans weep at human death
All the talkers lose their breath
Movies paint a chaos tale
Singers see and poets wail
All the world kows the score
But no man can find the war
