Everyone in the "administration" should be forced to attend each funeral.

4. One at a time sometimes five or more at a time...State by State so the
full numbers have less impact. Rummy sure knew what the hell he was doing when he sent our National Guard off to Iraq to fight and made sure that without a "DRAFT" that those little numbers of grieving devastated souls who mourn their dead just aren't quite enough to notice.

The CYNICAL...Disgustingness of these people knows no bounds. They found a way to fight an "unseen war" and owning the media made sure Vietnam protests would never happen again. Just let it seem that some "A.N.S.W.E.R." Protests in the MILLIONS even BEFORE THE WAR...go unreported because they are "Commie/Hippies" and the media goes into "lockdown."

Then report that the Average American isn't Protesting and let THAT become the Meme.

It's sickening...but it was clever. In this case it makes one want to vomit more..

5. Hey Rita Cosby....WHERE ARE YOU ON THIS STORY? CNN/MSNBC
ABSENT... Aren't these Great Visuals? You want Pix we got em. Grieving wives, crying children..we got it...but WHERE ARE YOU!

Shame in your soul you traitors...Shame in your Soul... But, they know no SHAME...they belong to the corporatists who pay their vacations, perks and finance their lavish lifestyles of houses in exotic places, Nannies who are constantly there and most of all their FANTASY OF POWER!

6. Shame is a great equalizer.
It should be shouted at them at every opportunity. The neo-cons wouldn't be affected, but their "moral" minions might stop and think, if only for a moment.

7. KoKo, I was thinking today at the gym
Edited on Wed May-17-06 05:31 PM by leftchick
as all of that mindless crap on CNN,MSRNC and faux went past my eyes for an hour. NOT ONE WORD ABOUT THE WAR IN IRAQ! It is shocking! Has there ever been another democracy involved in a war where there was almost ZERO coverage? It is shameful!!!! I grieve for all of these soldiers and their families and of course all of the dead Iraqis who did nothing to deserve thia horror!

46 soldiers DEAD in 17 days and HUNDREDS of Iraqis! Stop the Madness!!!

8. To both of you....it just blows our minds what's going on
doesn't it. Loss of life like this for lies and the "forgotten" who will never be heard.

I gotta back away...but then when I do...I feel like I'm as cowardly as the MSM.

You know the way those Hacks look at Iraq? They would tell you at a "cocktail party" if you asked about deaths of NG and all troops in Iraq...
Answer to Koko's question at War Cocktail Party:

"HEY...what about KOSOVO what about DARFUR...You wanna SEE DEATH BITCH (for asking) then what's going on in IRAQ ain't Nuthin!"

Because "in my heart" I know that none of these BUSH BOTS care about Average Americans I know they don't care if "I" live or Die...or anything about me.

We have tried so hard to stop this...those of us who CARE SO DEEPLY...yet we just can't seem to get some BIG MO...that causes "riots in the streets" about ALL OF THIS KILLING!!! FOR LIES!!!! :cry:

9. Did you see that General or NeoCon Mouth Piece on Cable this morning

He was defending the war and said that we are so lucky because there is new body armor and
the doctors have so many modern techniques to make the injuries heal sooner.

I wanted to smash my television.

10. what I found out about the paid military commentators is
most are paid by military contractors in addition to their roles as experts on TV. Cozy isn't it? I think the US officially has Pravda.
