It is a sin they put his lying ass face anywhere near these dead marines.

:puke:



President Bush lamented the deaths of 14 Marines in Iraq calling the deadly attack a 'grim reminder' America is still at war, as he addressed the American Legislative Exchange Council meeting in Grapevine, Texas, near Dallas, Wednesday, Aug. 3, 2005. The ALEC brings together over 2,400 state legislators from all fifty states. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)

31. calling the deadly attack a 'grim reminder' America is still at war, huh?"
How the hell would you know, Mr. Bush? Just how the hell would you know?
Like a vampire you flee from having light shine on your war crimes.
Fuck you, Mr. Bush. Fuck you oh so righteously, Fuck you.

3. very very sad
21 Marines, killed not defending our freedom, but in the name of enriching Halliburton's bank accounts and the outright lies from * and the * loving MSM. God bless all of the victims, and may karma be a total bitch on those responsible for causing all of this suffering.

9. Thank you for posting the faces and the names.
It truly is a sadness beyond words.

Lyrics from a song in the antiwar musical "Shenandoah" come to mind every time I see the photographs of the dead: "The faceless have names; they're Jacob and James, Robert and Anne, all our daughters and sons, every one."

I've saved them and copied them to another site to give my thread there about the fourteen more bite, as if it wasn't enough.

These poor families. Those poor young men who have lost their futures. Bless them all.

13. Brook Park, OH joins Bedford VA
Edited on Wed Aug-03-05 10:12 PM by captain_change
"Company "A" of the 116th Infantry Regiment,...loss of 22 of Bedford's favorite sons in Normandy; a toll that gave the small Virginia hamlet the painful distinction as suffering the highest per capita loss of any American home town"

I read reports like this and weep for the families, and the loss to the country and humanity of fine young men & women who prove every day their patriotism and courage.

Hang in there and keep your head down for another 365 days, the BFEE will surely declare victory in August/Sept 2006 and bring the troops home in their bid to retain control of the congress

15. I have to recommend this because
we need to face the faces. These living faces of those who are lost are almost more devastating then the horrible pictures of the dead.

The twinkle in the eyes of Cpl. Edward Schroeder, that pensive gaze of Cpl. Timothy Michael Bell Jr and so on...are just haunting. Edward should be teasing his little sister, Michael should be gazing at something lovely. They should not be there and they should not be dead.

We need a military, people willing to defend the nation and sometimes soldiers die. It is always heart breaking. But it should be for a higher cause, a just war, those times are thankfully rare. It should never be for a farce, a greedy agenda.

Sorry kids...and all the grieving loved ones. (On both sides)

22. I saw the father of one of these marines on tv
today, and he said his son signed up in response to 911, and he was proud of his son for fighting the 911 terrorists. He actually still believes that Iraq was responsible, and, so, apparently, did his son.

In the state that took the heavy death toll this week.

I wonder if it would have shifted, had the election been held a week later ... this hits home way too hard. I imagine the bluer parts of Ohio are cursing the south.

I am so sorry to their families that we did not do more to stop this war already. May they all rest in eternal peace, and may the good Lord keep their souls. These photos reminded me of my friend, Mikey...almost been a year now since he was killed in Iraq. (I miss you, buddy!)

47. Jeffery Boskovitch had set the date for his wedding on Saturday
"When Cpl. Jeff Boskovitch returned from Iraq, he had a lot of planning to do for his Oct. 14, 2006, wedding.

Boskovitch, 25, of North Royalton, set the date with his fiancee, Shelly Tevis of Brunswick, when they spoke on Saturday.

An aspiring police officer, Boskovitch was a role model for his 42 cousins and a driven Marine, family members said.

"He had the biggest heart in the world," said his uncle, Dan Boskovitch. "He was just a great kid."

The members of the sniper unit were close, his uncle said. Boskovitch declined a promotion because he wanted to stay with the unit. "
