Anyone have the photo of the girl crying at her dad's funeral? (Iraq)
I think there was a flag in the photo. It was really touching. I want to post it to defend Boxers comments about Rice not knowing how it feels to lose a family member.

1. In Rice's Defense
And believe me I'm one of the last people to defend her, she does know how it feels to lose a family member. Regardless of what we might think, she did have parents and both are dead, her mother died of cancer, which my own personal experinece with my mother, is a painful thing to deal with.

I think that Senator Boxer was referring to the loss of a child, not a family member in general.

2. Rice has never lost a family member because of her decision to
go to war in Iraq, I think was the point.

3. Boxer was talking about the price of the escalation. Most everyone has a deceased family member.
Boxer was saying the price of the escalation is measured in the loss of a child due to war. The escalation will cause more American soldiers to die and for what? Bush's legacy? Oil? Iraqi freedom from what themselves?

24. Unless she caused her mother's cancer
it really isn't the same thing.

5. Fugg Rice
I don't care what Barbara Boxer says about her. Condi's deeds speak for Condi - she is responsible for over 600,000 dead Iraqis and over 3000 dead US soldiers, not to mention the thousands of injured and pschologically destroyed. Condi is not making a single fugging sacrifice -she is the devil in Italian shoes.

Until we can collect Condi's shoes and pelt them at her, let Barbara attack her as she wishes. Boo fugging hoo if she's all hurt about Boxer's comments.

10. Can you provide any more detail?

How long ago, where? Whatever you can remember.

11. It is "hard work." But since you got wood. It was about 5 months
ago, I think in the NYT. A cute little girl was crying at a memorial service. It was enough to make you cry and anrgy at the same time.

19. It's true one picture says a thousand words
This photo writes a sad and horrid book, all of these criminals should be made to see this picture before they go to sleep and wake up with it in their face.
