    Shit. Goddamnit.

    There will be 3000 of them dead before the end of the year.

    Support the Troops and Honor the Dead — get them the f*ck out of there.

    How many more families will have their lives shattered by Bush’s illegal war?

    Shock & Awe…
    but at the cost of grieving Mothers & Fathers in the USA.
    Mr. President,
    The American people are shocked you choose to continue letting our young die in a war you made up.
    The only ‘awe’ we’re experiencing is the ‘06 elections.
    Your act has grown old & tired.
    The World hates you!
    How’s that for a shock?
    Mr. President?…

    Saw an interesting one of those magnetic ribbon bumper stickers. It said “Pretend Everything is O.K.” very fitting.

    Every death that occurs is not necessary except for the decision of one man. I don’t mean to make light of the topic but sometimes I feel that this president mirrors comedic fiction more an more. Unfortunately real people are dieing because of it.

    Zapp Brannigan is arrogant, incompetent and cocky. His battle tactics are impulsive, generally stupid, and almost always unnecessary. He takes delight in sending his men to die in ridiculous, easily avoidable altercations, viewing this as proof of their loyalty. Notable examples include an (unseen) battle with “Killbots,” a battle which Brannigan won by sending wave after wave of his own men at the killbots until they reached their pre-programmed kill limit.

    One death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic.

    #11……..
    keep them thumbs on the X-Box control and your eyes on the monitor, and you’ll do just fine………….!

    At this rate, before Christmas 100 more families will receive the black news that their daughter or son is dead and we will have surpassed the 3000 mark. It’s just a number, for those making millions off their precious blood.

    My condolences to their families.

    May they someday find peace.

    If people are truly concerned about ending the fighting and occupation in Iraq, then they should remember that today is National Mandate for Peace Congressional Call-In Day. Call your respective Representatives and Senators at the Congressional Switchboard at 1-202-224-3121 to urge them to push for the withdrawal of those troops from that quagmire in Iraq now and to call for an end to the funding in Iraq. Congress cut off the funding for the war in Vietnam over thirty years ago which helped to bring about the end of that war. The same thing can be done to this illegal war if enough people tell their congressmembers to cut off the funding for this unnecessary war. Congressman Dennis Kucinich should not be expected to carry this burden by himself.

    Will Christmas be a replay of 911? 2973


  17. Marie says:

    “Numbers.” “Commas.” They’re all “fungible.” These are words our leaders use to describe the deaths in Iraq.
    Who will be the last one to die for this insanity? We all know we’re getting out; we lal know it’s not going to be any better; but the politicians still debate and procrastinate, awaiting the best possible political timing to make the announcement that we already know — while every day there are more deaths.

    Tobey Tall,

    #11 was a parody.

    #19 – Zooey,
    I was going to make a simular post, but then, I live in Florida. There are more military plates in the HS parking lots here than there are at the Pentagon.


  20. Zooey says:

    Walt,

    I can believe that. :)

    #23 – Karim,
    Sorry, just stating what I see.


  24. WaltTheMan says:

    Why did #11 disappear? No satire or puns allowed? Tobey Tall in full control of TP? The content still exists on at least one of my hard drives as well as millions of others on the network.
