Wow! Look at what my friend did today!!
Mr. Hatch was repeatedly interrupted by a woman in the audience, who said that her son was a marine due to return soon to Iraq for his third tour of duty there. Mr. Bush’s plan calls for 4,000 additional marines to be deployed to Anbar province. “He can’t go back,” she said.

This is an infuriating story. The day after her son got back from the march in DC, he was recalled to duty. So what's a mother to do? Why, interrupt a US senator during a committee hearing!

Go Tina GO!!

2. Good for her for standing up to them.. Our men and women
are exhausted and they are in danger of never leaving the hell that * has started.

This has to end now.

8. Shouldn't you be in Iraq yourself?

What's the problem?

Maybe one mother's son could come home and you could take his place.


On edit: Okay--maybe you left off your :sarcasm: ??

9. That is if bush ever lets these souls go home to their
hometown and loved ones.

It is so sad that kids have to risk death to get an education, but then that is bush's America.
