In time, George W. Bush will be, and should be, arrested, tried, convicted, and backed up against a wall at Leavenworth Federal Prison, for treason, and desertion of duty. That day will, forever, be a national holiday. Nothing less is good enough for this scum sucking, yellow bellied, freaking deserting bastard.

Is his need for revenge on Dems for his being a big, fatmouthed loser so great that he woud cut off his own nose (and some nose it is), just to spite his ugly face? The answer for our troops is unfortunately, yes. Damn him and the rest of is Republican't friends. Yeah that Joe Liebermouth is some piece of work.

I was startled! The evening news is so distilled by the corp. owner of the station and influenced by those in power(the administration) that this clip was a SHOCK to me. The citizens of this country need to become aware of what we as taxpayers are spending so much money on,and,more importantly,how the lives of so many families are being affected. We need to know more of the TRUTH of our occupation of Iraq. News used to be REAL news-not anymore! This was candid coverage on ABC(via British Broadcastig). I was startled!

Positively gut-wrenching. Broke my heart to see that old woman sobbing like that. I got the feeling that this was about the millionth time her house was searched like that. Oh, and remind me not to get a job as a taxi driver in Iraq, as I could quite easily be mistaken for a insurgent. Especially upsetting was the morale of those troops. Talk about the thousand yard stare. What's sad is they'll get done their 15 month tour and have to go back after 9 months leave. I saw this report live the other day. Positively gut-wrenching.

Somehow I don't think that soldier will be punished. The government hasn't changed since the days I put my time in as a grunt in Nam, and the last thing the officers are gonna want to do is "screw the pooch" by retaliating. The network might not be following the guy in the field, but if the Army wants to start anything, they'll be all over it. The last thing the military wants is that kind of publicity. And besides, the officers who do it might just get fragged.....trouble is, with all that sand, where do you dig the hole? Heh Heh. We need Snarkcassandra on this blog.
