Post surge VACATION: Over 4,000 dead--nearing 30,000 wounded

READ THIS: Most people gave up on the Iraq War last August after the U.S. Congress, Iraqi Parliament,and President Bush deserted their posts to go on V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N;

'Power Is a Tool, Not a Toy' (from Rule # 25 in Craig Crawford's, The Politics of Life: 25 Rules for Survival in a Brutal and Manipulative World):

'...Power should not be a play-thing
for a politician's amusement...'

It is the 11th hour, And they went on:
V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N

The war in Iraq is at the heart of
the instability in the Middle East.
It is now the third-longest running
war in U.S. history: longer than the
American Civil War, WWI, WWII, and the Korean War.

Only the Philippine-American and
Vietnam Wars have lasted longer.

Over 4,000 U.S. troops have been
killed, with another 30,000 wounded.

Some estimates put the Iraqi death toll
at over 655,000 since the war began
in early 2003.

The United Nations estimates that more
than 2,000,000 Iraqis are now refugees
in neighboring countries.

And more than 1,900,000 are internally
displaced within Iraq (roughly 1/6 the country's population)...

It is the 11th hour, And they went on:
V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N!

Featured song: Connie Francis,
'V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N' August marks the
45th anniversary of the hit tune;
also produced and co-written by
Ms. Francis. She is fondly remembered
for touring Vietnam during that war
to entertain our troops.

You have good points, but you don't have to get vulger to get your point across.

[madmanstan7025]

all us slaves around the world need to stop pointing our guns at eachother and turn in unison toward the world bank. bastards are going to take everything we hold dear, just as soon as they complete their world conquest.Truth is every time we go to war it is just like walking up to Mr. Rockefeller and saying here's my house my children and everything I own, oh and here you go take my gun so you can blow my brains out after your done having me trim your hedges and suck your dick.

[madmanstan7025]

The cold and sorry truth is that the world banks are the ones making all the money off of this. Every dollar printed is borrowed from the world bank with interest, and every cent we put into the war is borrowed from the world bank with interest, all of us sorry bastards are holding money that with its very existance carries a debt, and you think anyone is in power other than the world bank owners like Rockefeller. We go to war so they can put us more in debt to them, we are slaves.

This would be funny if the issue wasn't so sad. I feel so bad for our military families and the incredible pain and hardship that Bushco has forced upon them. Never in all of my many years have I seen our military so incredibly abused.

Democracy is dead...we need a new form of government cuz they no longer listen to our voices, if they did, Bush would have been removed long before now!! Envious of them tho', we can't even afford a vacation...Peace!
