In Blackhawk Down we lost 18 soldiers, in the last 24 hours we lost 22.

Oh but that was big big news back then...today, it's hardly a headline!

1. I don't think Bruckheimer's picking up this project. nt

[mopaul]

2. i'm sure there'll be an episode of 'over there' that covers it

[Justitia]

3. Isn't that something??? Hardly a blip in the news.

But taking a shim out of the space shuttle was BIG NEWS FOR AN HOUR.

:crazy:

Maybe it's because the prez is on vacation.
Then again, probably not, because I'm sure he doesn't give 2 shits.

4. DOD still hasn't released the names

of the three remaining Marine reservists that were killed on the 1st from Ohio. Two of my friends are in the 3rd Battalion. I keep refreshing that site and get nothing.

I'm worried and optimistic at the same time.

This . . er . . . "struggle" is NeoCon delusion right now. These kids haven't even gotten a chance to live their lives. Cut your damned losses and start formulating an exit plan. PLEASE.

5. and Les Aspen resigned Sec of Defense over it.

[Greeby]

7. And the President was forced to pull the troops out

A lot changes in 12 years :grr:

6. Just goes to show how disgusting the right wing is

They don't care about lives. They don't care about people.

[Toots]

8. American bodies are not being dragged through the streets now

If america were to start seeing that on their local news stations maybe things might come to a head.

9. bush has had his many "Blackhawks Down"

(his favorite movie remember) plus he's had many Chinooks Down, OH-58's Down and many, many others but never a mention of any of this crap - and we don't even know if we are having people dragged thru the streets - who in the hell would report it, anyway?
