[Whoa_Nelly]

1. I'd say forward this and every daily report to the WH, but...

were * to even glance at such reports, am sure his first thought would be:
"Oh, well. Am sure the names will be released soon enough so all their folks can be proud of the sacrifice." :grr:

[WatchWhatISay]

2. Why can't the prolifers see everyone of these names as potential babies

that will never be born because their mother/father was killed for nothing.

[hfojvt]

5. If it was an average day

at least 2,739 fetuses were aborted yesterday. 2,739 > 24. If each of the 24 had ten kids still 2,739 > 240.

Why can't we see these soldiers as people who risked and gave their lives to keep murderous, oppressive thugs from coming to power? Some people in Iraq are blowing up women, children and random crowds of civilians. Some are killing police and teachers and leaders and people of other religions.

I never wanted this war to start, but I also admit that it has not killed as many people as I feared it would. At this point though, I think it is necessary to leave Iraq as peaceful as, say, Turkey. I do not trust Bush to have that same objective though, nor do I expect him to sincerely work for a noble objective.

But I don't trust the a$$holes who are shooting down our helicopters either. Much as I hate him, I cannot blame Bush for their actions.

7. Huh?

But I don't trust the a$$holes who are shooting down our helicopters either. Much as I hate him, I cannot blame Bush for their actions

If Bush had not invaded the country, our helicopter's wouldn't be there to shoot down. They are tired of having their families murdered by our own troops who are there to "liberate" them and bring them democracy. They are sick of their children being the victims of our depleted uranium. They are suffering from the effects of white phosphorus. They have no clean water. They go without food and electricity. They are killed on their way to school and their is no hospital care that is viable... If it was your neighborhood, your country, that had been invaded, who would you shoot at?

[hfojvt]

9. Depends on the circumstances.

If I am a German living in Rottweil and the Americans invade and defeat Hitler am I going to be upset? Am I going to take the opportunity to start killing teachers, police, and fellow Rottweilers who happen to be Protestant if I am Catholic or Catholic if I am Protestant? How many Iraqis were killed yesterday by other Iraqis or agent provacateurs from Iran? If we left yesterday would those insurgents then use their energy trying to rebuild Iraq? Or would they be further unleashed to try to take over Iraq? They could have clean water, electricity, food and jobs if so many of their fellow Iraqis were not blowing up their own country and trying to kill their fellow Iraqis. Bush destroyed their infrastructure, but it is the insurgents and the civil warriors who are keeping it from being rebuilt. Bush put the helicopters in the firing range, but the blame now belongs to those who pull the trigger and who manufacture and plant the IEDs. Fu$% them with a capital F!

3. Again, we are reminded in heartbreaking ways---

For Whom The Bell Tolls
John Donne

No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manner of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.

[cornermouse]

4. Shucky darns.

There you go with that touchy feelie left wing communistic democratic femi-nazi "it takes a village" stuff again. :eyes:

[QueenOfCalifornia]

6. If only these people who were "SACRIFICED..."

...were two week old blastocysts which had just implanted on the wall of a uterus... THEN THE RED-STATE, RELIGIOUS-FANATIC-BIBLE-THUMPING-IDIOTS WOULD GET ALL CRAZY AND SCREAM MURDER!!!

Errrrr.
