Does anyone remember duct tape and plastic sheeting?
The most damning thing to George in the DSM memo is where the British intelligence officer who wrote the memo claims that the intelligence to base Great Britain and the US staging a devastating invasion on Iraq was being “fixed around the policy.”

Now, after over three years of relentless propaganda, it is difficult to distinguish the proven lies from the new “truth:” that this occupation is bringing freedom and democracy to the people of Iraq.

3. Little 6 year old 1st grade girl said to me,
"If we put plastic all over the windows and tape it up, won't we all suffocate?"

Sorry, state of affairs when 6 year olds make more sense than grown ups.

10. Every time I see a movie with the twin towers in them
It hurts.About what happened that day and how much our country has changed for the worse since then.I had an inkling that something like this would happen eventually,but not this soon.

11. I was pretty spooked but calmed down afterward
I thought it was just "desperately wanting to win" and it would be politics as usual.

I was dead wrong.

5. Nothing like spreading freedom and Democracy
through the barrel of a gun. From what I understand the Iraqi "Constitution" is not exactly supporting freedom and democracy for women.

14. ...does anyone remember... Vera Lynn

Remember how she said,
That we would meet again,
Some sunny day.

Vera!
Vera!
What has become of you?
Does anybody else in here feel the way I do?
