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

6. What you said!

Just going to type something in the same vein, but you said it better!

I'll be DAMNED if they're going to take MY SON or MY NEPHEWS for their f****** cannon fodder!

BRING THESE KIDS HOME!!!

[Mari333]

8. Im live daily in terror that they might take my son

he's trying so hard to get out of it..Im sickened, crying, terrified...horrified every day we wake up to this hell..national nightmare..I dont think I can stand it much longer..every fucking day...
My god why are the US people allowing this??? why isnt this asshole being THROWN out of the White House??? what the hell has happened to the citizenry are they this blind???

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?

[femmecahors]

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.

[Mari333]

19. Im trying to get him to leave but he wont

Hes working on all kinds of ways to get out..he did 6 years in the Guard and is supposed to be out in Nov...but the bastards put a Stop Lock on his unit for guardsmen who have done their time...
If worse comes to worse, he will leave...right now we are working on options like crazy.....

20. I hope all goes well for him and you . . .

But think about the gay option . . . it's brilliant!

[wryter2000]

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.

[Maeve]

3. Damn.

Damn it all.

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".

5. I hope that * is having a LOVELY vacation.

NOT. The "man" has no conscience.

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

7. Attacks in the morning...

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.

10. what part of get the fuck out don't we get?

I mean really, we could at least make a half hearted attempt at a humaritarian mission that might stem the tide of violence but noooooooo, we got to secure that oil. oh and by the by, gas hit $1.89 at the pump here in MI yesterday.

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

[NNN0LHI]

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.
