Fourteen Marines will touch down at Dover Air Force Base tomorrow; their lives cut-short in a brutal war that has yet to produce a rationale.

The architect of that war will be landing at nearly the same time at his vacation home in Crawford, Texas; resting up from the grueling task of sending other-mother's-sons to die for nothing.

Where's the outrage?

Of the 14 men who were killed, not one was named Bush, or Cheney or Rumsfeld. They were all just grunts doing their jobs; fighting for their country. Or, so they thought.

1. How about it?

"...What'll it take to enrage the American people, to send them into the streets, to hurl them against the White House gates, to bang on their pots and pans until the politicians scramble for their bunkers?

And, when will the people gather en masse in front of the Time-Warner Building, and FOX News, and MSNBC, and CNN; rattling the windows and pounding on the doors.

We don't want their war anymore; we don't want their news anymore; we don't want them anymore.

Get out!

Leave!

Kill someone else's sons and daughters. Steal someone else's wealth. Ruin someone else's country.

Just get out!"

LET'S DO IT SEPTEMBER 24-26!

2. ...doing his goddam job.

It's supposed to be a tough job; slackers and bums shouldn't take it.

3. C'mon, guys

You know the outrage is reserved for private acts, although they are only worthy of outrage if done by Dems.

4. How long did it take for people to become enraged about Vietnam?

I was just a kid then. Seems to me it was several years before big demonstrations began.

How many thousands had to die for nothing in that war?
