[ohiocash330]

that right he died for oil

[celticlofts]

Sadly your husband did die for nothing, I wonder what was going through her head watching Bush making jokes about looking for WMD's under his couch while young men and women were coming home in caskets? ..

[bsammy28]

americankiller1, you sir, are a douchebag

[Americankiller1]

Die stupid americans die hahahahahaha!

[glen24567]

The only way to win this war is to show our true power and take out all these damn muslims even the ones here if you agree hit me up.

[stephens2007]

4000 is a lot but i don't why everyone is acting like this we have been there since 2003 thats over 6 years. hell on d day we lost over 11,000 in one day so 4000 we are not doing to bad

[Louisbr]

4.000 estadunidenses mortos. Iraquianos não se conta. Para os estadunidenses iraquianos não são seres humanos.

[ahmed742]

Only 4,000 american soldiers???

Come on dude, what about the others in Q??

Have you not heard of "wait and see policy"??

Their sacrifice will not go in vain, when oil will start pouring into this great country, the country fellow will definitely remember the poor soldiers in their pubs and casinos.

[thevoiceofreason02]

It's only considered a war when two

armies fight. Iraq is not a war, more

along the lines of mass slaughter...

U.S Casualties: 4,684

IRAQ Casualties: 1,322,115

[Frogstomp121]

Like the mass slaughter of the hundreds of thousands of innocent Japanese families nuked into oblivion. The mass slaughter of the Filipinos in the Spanish American War after being promised democracy by the U.S. from the Spaniards. The mass slaughter of North Vietnam.

[thevoiceofreason02]

My position on the subject has changed dramatically over the past 3 months.

[Frogstomp121]

I respond to a lot of things I read, regardless of dates. That's cool though.

[Beep161]

Huitzilopochtli wants your blood!

[kakuma08]

you husband has gone to hell

[IndoAtheist]

a lie cooked by zio zombie PENTAGON said that 'only' 4000's US PUPPET soldiers died in iraq what a fuckin' joke at least 15000's DEAD from gulf war 1 until now...!!!! and thousand more end up in rehab camp without arms or legs or even half their brain, the others who survive has commited suicide or even worst they're becoming PSYCHOPATE..!!! yupp the 'mainstreem' media filtered about this sensitive information for american MORALE SAKE...

[PeekaPeep]

To all those interested in joining the military-DON'T! You'll no longer be serving your country or its people if you do, but rather the insanely profit-driven corporate elite and/or those sects who simply wish to control and enslave us for their own self-centered agendas. A MASSIVE anti-war movement(including those who've already participated in these now silly and irrelevant "war on terror" campaigns) is what's needed to turn the tide back to the side of what's good for all humanity...

>;-)

[togocure]

How come we never hear the terrorist death toll? we are winning the war. all we ever hear is "So many americans have died in the war." THE TERRORISTS ARE LOSING MORE! American soldiers chose to join the military. They aren't drafted, they chose to risk their lives. It was their choice, let them do what they chose to do.

[7mares3]

haha im naked!!! who wants a strip tease msg me! r

[subi06230]

as far as Muslims are concerned if they want to to win this war which I feel that we are doing a great deal of they need to get off of their ass and figure if they want to be able to live in their country without the aid of coalition troops get up and start establishing the IRAQ police and the Iraq Army then they will be able to run the country the way that they feel

[neoKonscioius]

fuck the VETS and FUCK MCCAIN

McCaine is a WHITEY!! Whitey has turned their backs on us before, they WILL do it again !!!

Farrakan / Rev Wright/ Obama 08

Time for some real change

[togocure]

Dude... wtf? your such a retard... go fuck yourself!

[spunkysm]

[ardijan9682]

We might have lost the War. Bt from our loss we gain peace. Allah can make lossing winning, he can also make winning lossing.

[togocure]

You know what I think? You and allah can go fuck eachother in hell. Cause that's where your going. now GTFO and go kill yourself like the fucking moron you are.

[glen24567]

[ardijan9682]

[AssyrianBeast357]

Allah means God. plenty of iraqi Christains use the word Allah

[djcobolt]

LMAO? "America is such a racist little bitch country" and then wait for the hypocrite, HERE IT COMES!!! " I love to see these cracker die"

Awesome. Think about what your hate breeds.

[caesaryholly]

yes as sad as it sounds your husband die protecting somebodie elses greed and I consider that to be vane.

[DescryMind]

Ma'am, I hope you're willing to understand grief in its broadest sense, and not just your experience of it. It would be ashamed to teach people wrongly according to your life only. There is a much much bigger picture to grief I could only wish you will be willing to understand from a non personal perspective. In the hopes you can help head off all grief before it hits anyone's homes. As it has done yours. I say this because I see what you dont understand, yet you're going to be helping others?

[DescryMind]

And we are all fighting for survival. We're all guilty of this. Not just the Rich. They are just better at it. We need to all see though.

We have to be that peace if we truely want peace.

[togocure]

There will never be peace on earth, as sad as it is, Humans are too corrupt. And we will never be perfect.

[DescryMind]

The only war worth fighting, is the war to bring out the truth! So every man can learn out of ignorance. Not hidden so the intellegent can take advantage of the nieve. This is the evils we are fighting. Knowledge vs ignorance. A fight for survival. It doesn't have to be this way. It shouldn't be survival, we have the man power to help all men on the face of this earth. Too bad our very lives are filled with trying to survive ourselves. Please see Mr. Buckminster Fuller's videos. Good and Wise

[DescryMind]

We must learn from our mistakes and talk about them so all of us can grow. Americans are an oppressed and blind people. How can we function without seeing? Without knowledge? Without understanding? Without kindness? We are capable of doing so much good in the world, and in 1 generation, destroy so much trust that the world once had in us. We must wake up! Because we are only a very sophisticated ignorant country with an open account to all the money we dare to borrow.

We will destroy ourselves.

[DescryMind]

I want to open people's minds a bit. We have to understand that half the truth is not the whole truth. Miss information is also a weapon of mass distruction. Control of the masses, if not done to educate and bring about truth and intellegence is also a weapon of mass distruction. Greed is a weapon of mass distruction. Sending in armies is a weapon of mass distruction. Weapons of mass distruction is NOT LIMITED to only nuclear warheads. It is in all things that ruin the masses as a whole.

[DescryMind]

Are we going to kill 2 million or more people in every country on the planet just to try to rid the world of terrorism? We need to band together and turn these people in. This is evil creating more evil. The wise know this.

I cannot support such a terrorist act. If I do, then I am supporting the very attack on our Twin Towers of 9/11. It was wrong then, and its wrong now.

The killing of innocent people has to stop. This is NOT JUSTICE! This is a false reason to justify mass murder!

[DescryMind]

People need to understand something.... We are fighting Terrorists willing to innocent people, but the way we are doing it is COMPLETELY WRONG! We cannot invade countries and kill 2,000,000+ people just to make the terrorists flee. We are pissing many people off and its just a matter of time I assure you before they retaliate. You CANNOT kill innocent people. You have to kill these terrorists ONLY. If one innocent life is taken, then you become a terrorist yourself.

Peace from America!

[DescryMind]

Once we understand the big picture, I can assure you that their armies will crumble before their eyes when the people educate themselves in what's really going on and why they are being called to wars. The messages in this post is not an attack on this poor lady and her child or her husband, its just the reality of the big picture of what's really going on. The loss of 4000 lives doesn't even compare to the 2,000,000+ lives lost in Iraq. Every one of them are tragic.

[djcobolt]

Where are you getting your Facts? I am being serious, I am not challenging anything you are saying I am just asking where you get your facts?

[DescryMind]

Ma'am.. to you and your son.. In your world, and in mine, your husband is a hero. No doubt in my mind. He acted upon the best understanding he possibly could. And for that I salute him! And to all the troops who sign up for our military to protect this country, you are of the greatest people to have ever walked this earth. No matter what country you are from. But we must arm ourselves with understanding and wisdom before we take such a step. And this is where we fail as a country.

Peace

[beastshawnee]

I'm so sorry that your husband died and shattered your life. Grief also needs to include acceptance. And in this case acceptance he died for a lie. You need to examine how you talk to your son about his father so that he doesn't join the next generation of young men to go fight just because someone waves a flag in front of them. Do not continue this foolishness. It is okay to be angry and to revolt against this waste. Fight for justice everywhere, not against innocent people.

[tommylodz2004]

so basically he helped rebuild what he destroyed. hero he is...

[sandreniner]

Your husbands died for nothing!! he shouldn't have been there! he died for nothing!! NOTHING!! draw your army back off Iraq!!

[PILGARLIC42]

Your husband did die for nothing, you can get oil newhere ,So fucking sad that you would stand up for bush, THE BASTARD.

[atif7865]

yes your husband did contribute towards the quality of life of every one on this planet,,,, but a quality down the drain.

[exacerbatedtaboo]

Your husband did die for nothing lady. Sorry to say it but that's the truth. No wait, your husband died for George Bush and corporate gains.

[ambientdiscord]

i agree, the guy did die for absolutely nothing but she needs a coping mechanism. sadly she will need to get over it. her husbands death did not contribute to the quality of life of anyone, in fact it detracted from the quality of life of anyone that was in Iraq.

[pdalaigh]

He did die for nothing, tell me what have ye acheived? and now most of america doesn't even care, mrs he shouldn't have been there, how can you still support that monster bush?

[divinejudge1]

Amanda Jordan is foolish to have that outlook towards people who this war as a mistake. She needs to rethink the issues/geopolitical situation that created this conflict.

Does she understand the US uses its armed forces for economic expansion and imperialism??? Spanish American War - THE PRESENT.

[imbabci2]

Bush lied...4000 died.

[muchfaster1]

4000 dead 146000 more to go. InshAllah

[ig7157]

But what if people's lives where not made better by that man's death? He would never make someones life worse, I'm sure. But The Iraq war has made many life for many families all over the world much worse. Then the Iraq is no where near what it was before the war started. If that man had died in vain it was not because of any flaw of character, but the situation he was in.

[deliciousmorton]

her husband DID die for nothing.

[antigay7]

dying or oil lol!!! thats stupid get our boys home please

[tommybarresi]

POOR LADY IS IN A FOG OF DENIAL

[zhao4long2]

ur husband didnt die for nothing! but the war gotta stop! ur husband is a HERO

[shahram72]

Iraqi government or people never attacked us, they all died for nothing, along with a million Iraqis.

[willcharlton]

It is my belief that your husband did die for

nothing save a few lies. However, you can choose to attach meaning and value to his death by honoring him and the other 3999 other soldiers who died for the same reasons by fighting our imperialistic government and bring the rest of them home. I was lucky enough to make it home from Iraq and I made it back with all of my Marines as well. Mike Gravel said it best - "The only thing worse than a soldier dieing in vain is more soldiers dieing in vain".

[ig7157]

but what keep us from leaving is the guilt that we screwed up so bad that we can't leave Iraq in the terrible state it is in.

[1DarkWingDuck]

what keeps us from leaving..IS OIL..While the general public might feel guilt this ADMINISTRATION and the DAVID ROCKEFELLERS of the world could care less about who dies as long as it gets them what they want..A NEW WORLD ORDER..

[EyesoreII]

This is disturbing, I really don't know what to say. On one hand I feel I need to criticize this woman for her ignorance, on the other hand I pity her because she has been hypnotized into believing something that was a total lie. For her to be a supporter of George Bush at this time is just atrocious, he is a war criminal. Amnesty International said that he may have been the worst president of all time and I think this encapsulates my thoughts on the matter.

[barbarossa0067]

Oh! Wait! How callous of me. Your husband did die for something. He died to put more caviar on the dinner menu for the stock holders of the Military-Industrial Complex.

[SCOTSDOC]

How many of BUSH or CHENEY's relatives have served in AFGHANISTAN or  IRAQ? I think you find the figure is ZERO!!

[takotheoktopus]

What's especially ironic about the figure zero is that the oldest known text to use zero was introduced by a muslim named Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī.

[barbarossa0067]

Yes. Your husband died for a lie. Don't be upset with people who are of that opinion. Be upset with George Bush for not waiting for two months for Hans Blix to check out all of the sites that the United States and Britain CLAIMED had weapons of mass destruction. Then go get your thank you letter from the one Iraqi whose life he helped and the hate mail from the 10 Iraqis who have died because of his part in the invasion.

[TWI08]

That's 4000 less american terrorists to terrorize the world.

[DulbahanteGirl]

Your husband DID die for nothing. Try to convince yourself otherwise if you like lol. I doubt that he contributed to making anyone's life better. He probably contributed to making the lives of many Iraqis a million times worse probably. Does this woman live in a hole? She just doesn't have a clue. We all love our family members and want to support them-but she needs to get real.

[abarzilai664]

Military widows who support the war is quite a rarity in the news media. Kudos to al-Jazzera for finding someone that does not try to out-Shehan Cindy Shehan.

[Killa8]

4000 in 5 year ain't that bad compared with tens of thousands dying in other countries in amount of months.Well May the soldiers rest in peace!

[tralliboll]

thats a pretty bold statement concisdering how many iraqis has died since the invasion. 4000 us soldiers is damn near nothing compared to the amount casualties in that country alone...

[Killa8]

That is what I am saying man! there was an average of 30 iraqis dying everyday last I remember, either by a sucide bomb or something else. The Americans are making this a big deal that is what I am saying.And of course every lose of life whether American or not is sadning.
