I don't have too much time here -
Maybe we are just all screwed.

Please tell me, WHO let those dumb kids die for this, please!!

They are dieing, and they are GOOD kids - so why???

Patronizing not acceptable - don't do it.

The day this president can answer the question he deserves my listening -
He can't do it though.

Some of us knew some of those kids dieing now, we know a lot better.

WHY DID THEY HAVE TO DIE,

It IS the question.


This ain't Nazi Germany and this isn't 1944 - who is the "Brainchild" of this thing??

I think you need to go!!

Bless those kids, they had to do so much with so little.

Joe

1. They are proud of those deaths, those wounds, those sacrifices.
They don't care. They just hype and lie a little louder.

I am patriotic. I believe in decency - the decency that so many people over so many decades thought we had. We learn each day that we've been living a lie for a long time. We had a chance to be decent. We still have a chance to be decent. But not with these leaders and the PNAC Roadmap with the barons profiting.

4. Blood still flows red -
I know you are a patriot - you are here.

I know sometimes you have to call "BULLSHIT"

Time is now.

You guys better call it, for Gods sake, cause some of us really believed in the oath sworn by officer's that you'd protect the constitution -

And we call "Bullshit" - DO your job, man.

A lot of kids are gonna die here if you don't.

Do the right thing!!

Joe

9. I cry for them
I do not understand how others cannot.

That phrase we heard so long ago - "What-so-ever-you-do, to the least of my brothers" - it is ringing in their ears now -

They truly understand it -

Bless those kids, God bless them,


Joe

5. answers....
Following its bombing of Iraq in 1991, the United States wound up with military bases in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and the United Arab Emirates.
Following its bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999, the United States wound up with military bases in Kosovo, Albania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Hungary, Bosnia and Croatia.
Following its bombing of Afghanistan in 2001-2, the United States wound up with military bases in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia, Yemen and Djibouti.
Following its bombing and invasion of Iraq in 2003, the United States wound up with Iraq.
This is not very subtle foreign policy. Certainly not covert. The men who run the American Empire are not easily embarrassed.
And that's the way the empire grows -- a base in every region, ready to be mobilized to put down any threat to imperial rule, real or imagined. Sixty years after World War II ended, the United States still has major bases in Germany and Japan; fifty-two years after the end of the Korean War, tens of thousands of American armed forces continue to be stationed in South Korea.

February 14, 2002: US Military Bases Line Afghan Pipeline Route
http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/timeline.jsp?timeline=complete_911_timeline&before_9/11=pipelinePolitics
The Israeli newspaper Ma’ariv notes: “If one looks at the map of the big American bases created , one is struck by the fact that they are completely identical to the route of the projected oil pipeline to the Indian Ocean.” Ma’ariv also states, “Osama bin Laden did not comprehend that his actions serve American interests... If I were a believer in conspiracy theory, I would think that bin Laden is an American agent. Not being one I can only wonder at the coincidence.”

6. AT the end of the day -
The adults get to decide the direction -

This idiot couldn't answer quesitons from 2nd year grad students - you know??

I looked in those eyes - those kids are looking for a direction, they really are.

They went to some boot, no college - where are their questions, you know??

There is something seriously wrong here -

And those kids will die because of the lack of real questions.

I think a lot of those kids -

7. Project for a New American Century. PNAC.
http://www.newamericancentury.org

A right wing genocidal and profiteering organization bent on setting themselves up as the dominant force on the planet, ruling by the forceful acquisition of basic human needs, like oil and water.

Scariest fukcers on the planet are ruling YOUR world.

Read their first letter to Clinton in 1998.

8. WE are America - not those assholes.
MANY of our fathers fought such a thing, who do those people think they are??

We better teach them - right here.

America is about a lot more than they understand, could possibly understand.

And they are here because many of our fathers understood that, too many.

11. It only took the US to decide - and about 400,000 of our kids.

We have a good chance here - we are the children of those boys,

FDR's chlidren, so to speak,

14. Why did they have to die?
So Bush could use the excuse "We're at war" to justify every illegal action he has taken since 9/11.

He is a very sick and evil man. I don't believe in heaven and hell but sometimes I wish I did, just so I could imagine the look on his face when he comes face to face with the Devil.

15. They died because of ignorance.
Charles Dickens comes to mind.

A compliant media, interested in profits only when the wind was bending in a certain direction, didn't take time to find out what was happening. They didn't have time; they were "embedded."
