2. Great Caesar's Ghost!

That's sinister. They've totally dehumanized the armed forces to the point that they literally are their machinery.

5. One of my son's friends was killed last month

He was a hometown boy who played soccer with my son..
July 9
Lance Cpl. Jason Andrew Tetrault, 20, Moreno Valley, Calif., was killed in Kuwait on July 9 in a vehicle accident. Tetrault was assigned to 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Twentynine Palms, Calif.


and what's even weirder...my son also knew the guy who threw grenades in the tent at the beginning of the war.. He was also from here :(

6. Oh boy, Cal

Sorry to hear that. I wish Bush would go to the UN and beg for some help. Our guys are really taking the brunt of it all not only because we're 'goin it alone' but, because they're Americans.

11. He won't do that because

it may mean sharing some of the contracts with non US companies.

13. Speaking of Grenade Guy...

Why haven't we heard anything about him? I figured that was going to be big news. Have I missed something?

Thanks for wanting to help..:)

7. I saved the quote and pic together.

We can't let this one disappear. It's almost a perfect metaphor for the whole situation and it's real. Live people dying. Real people. Not humvees.

9. That is sick!

I can't believe they're saying that, implying that the lives of our soldiers mean nothing! They should go over and see if THEY could last a week in that hell that they created.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

12. They used diesel and blood in the same sentence

a Freudian moment indeed.
