Sick, wounded U.S. troops held in squalor
This is disgusting and unsupportable. How much lower will the Bush administration get before being squashed by public ire? Is it possible that not enough people actually give a shit? Comes a point yhen yellow ribbons around trees and flag waving no longer indicates Patriotism..

3. This is criminal.
Edited on Fri Oct-17-03 07:24 PM by sheeeeeesh
Where are the ambulance-chasing lawyers? Where is the
ACLU? Where are the local tv stations with their cameras?
Where's Oprah, The Today Show etc?

Every damned one of them should be on this and not
let up.

Not letting up also applies to the rest of the BushCo
regime's activities.

Edit to add: I don't expect any action from any
of the current elected Democrats and don't have
any expectations from the wannabe's.

5. Watch the movies "Born on the 4th of July"
Edited on Fri Oct-17-03 07:44 PM by Submariner
and "Article 99" to get a good idea of the care that military personnel got during Vietnam. This is the same BS. The government unfortunately is full of chickenhawks who never served and have no idea what military veterans are up against, and they don't care.

They do not "SUPPORT THE TROOPS". That phrease is just campaign jingoism to them.

7. These men and women mean NOTHING to the Neocons
they are meaningless to them...meaningless...they dont care who dies, they dont care how many of our sons and daughters die, they dont care how much terror they wreak or havoc they wreak on anyone or anything..the Neocon Bush thugs are sitting in large beachhouses, condos, apartments on Park Avenue, and have maids and butlers wiping their asses for them..
Our children die in the dirt daily , so that these bastards can make money, so that people like Cheney, Wolfowitz, Perle, and their corporate buddies can slice up Iraq and make money hand over fist.
The BushCabal has taken over OUR country..they are intent upon destroying it, they are intent upon murdering our children right before our eyes..and what do we do about it...

8. One has to wonder why
Kerry, Pelosi, and/or Jim Marshall (D) GA are not on this. What a squandered opportunity to be a human being and score some points at the same time. Is it any wonder the party is considered weak and leaderless?
