Almost 500 dead troops. Yeah, Happy New Year!

[caledesi]

What is it w/ me? When I think about all those young troops dying in Iraq, I feel so sad. For what, I ask you Mr. pResident, for what?

You, Mr. pResident, think that you are going to look good next November. I beg to differ w/ you. If the stocks are up - great, but it just means that rich people are investing. No trickle-down here. You have lost close to 3 million jobs and we will not FORGET. Where are the jobs?

We will not forget WMD as the reason we invaded, yes invaded Iraq.

We will not forget how you have alienated our beloved country from the rest of the world.

We will not forgot ALL the lies and during the presidential campaign, they WILL be brought up. The pink tutus have come off.

We will not forget how you spent the surplus.

There is only one thing that we will remember and that is our troops in the f*cking shooting gallery, you call Iraq.

Pass the rubber drumstick, please.

7. Looks like the poll has already been freeped.

How can so many people be so optimistic when we have chimp in office? Not to add to the doom and gloom of the new year, but everything seems to go his way. I'm glad everyone is safe this new year, but I can imagine the lap-dog press today spinning that shrub was the reason we didn't have any attacks last night. The new year is already lining up in his favor. Wake me in 2008.

15. call me an idealist, but I'm optimistic about the 2004 election

I'm hoping this time next year Bush and Co will be in jail.

[Cheesehead]

16. We can be optimistic that we will be successful and sanity

will prevail. 2004 could be a very bad year for Whistle Ass and his regime as the truth about his real motives and lying, secretive, scandalous administration become more widely known during the election campaign.

The question in the survey is very ambiguous. One can either be optimistic that their "Fearless Leader" (think Rocky & Bullwinkle) will prevail, or optimistic that sanity and Justice will prevail. I'm sure it was intentionally constructed that way to give the whores something to shout about as we go to hell in a hand basket under the guise of making the world a safer place.

2. yep, Happy New Year

[Booberdawg]

3. I won't forget.

I was never fooled to begin with. I saw it coming. WE saw it coming.

I hate to say it but ... okay, I won't say it.

[Mairead]

4. And then there are the thousands who are maimed for life

People who will spend the next 50 or 60 years trying to make do without legs, without arms, without eyes or jaws or lungs or the ability to live without help for the most trivial functions.

And for what will they have sacrificed their wellbeing? A few more dollars in the pockets of people who already have far too much, and a few more years of people being able to drive their SUVs to the mall.

Support Dennis Kucinich, the guy who's pledged to end all that.

5. Today my stepson leaves for Iraq

no joy here.

[G_j]

8. I'm so sorry.

I pledge to you I will continue to work to bring them home and make sure this murderous administration is held accountable.

[Mari333]

10. I too pledge this

and I am furious...Im tired of being tired, Im tired of watching everyone I love suffer.

[caledesi]

13. Mari - my cousin's son just left too. They live near Denver Colorado

Where you be? I wonder if my cousin's son and yours are in the same regiment (or whatever they are called) He's in the Army. I can find out what reg.

9. Until that lying sack of shite in the White House

and his whole goddamned administration is frog marched out of the Goddamed White House in handcuffs for treason, I wont be satisfied.
I watch the news and the smiling lying faces and all I see are LIES LIES LIES and distortion upon distortion.
they dont care...no one does
My husband is 120 lbs now..hes lying in bed vomitting and sweating, he is sick and terrified and I have no way to help him..
Nothing I can do.
I am trying to talk him into going to the hospital.
THATS because of his terror over his son going to Iraq. Thats what families are going through..
Tonight we say goodbye to him
How much longer can we all live like this????????????????????????????????

[G_j]

17. I plan on

actively advocating that these people be prosecuted for their crimes whether they manage to steal another election or not.
If they remain in power in '04 I would love to see a million people become tax resisters.

[persianwarrior]

11. ..

The real threat was never Saddam.. One of the worst regimes in the world is the Islamic Clerical regime in Iran who holds its 70 million people hostage while bathing in great oil deals with Europe..

[Mari333]

12. The real threat is PNAC

and the neocons who are making billions of dollars off of the death of our children
www.newamericancentury.org
The only Terrorists I see are Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, Perle, Wolfowitz, and all their little minions and cronies that lie lie lie lie lie lie
add to that the corporate media who dont tell truths
add to that Democrats who are spineless when it comes to throwing these Neocons OUT on their ear and demanding they be held accountable for a WAR BASED ON NOTHING BUT GREED AND LIES.

[maggrwaggr]

14. if you count those killed due to "non hostile gunshots" I'm sure

it's way over 500
