Memorial for Iraq War Dead During Heritage Foundation Forum

On Thursday September 13th, Medea Benjamin of CODEPINK took the stage during a conservative think tank forum. She announced that it would be appropriate to have a memorial for those who have died during the U.S. occupation, then she introduced Carlos Arredondo whose sone died in Iraq. After Carlos talked about his son, Medea read the New York Times op-ed written by 7 soldiers, two of which died in Iraq this week while General Petraeus was giving his report to Congress. After the reading, Betsy Rose sang the names of those 2 soldiers killed, and Medea responded, "We remember you."

CodePink and the father of a dead soldier enters the belly of the beast...the tax exempt beast that pushed for this war so their coffers could be filled through the blood of our loved ones. Anyone who supports the Heritage Foundation are fascist, treasonous motherfuckers. They should be very afraid of the rage the "little people" are feeling at this point.

Despite what ever Sadam could have done with his bad intentions and desire to harm UK,Israel & America.

He wouldn't have been able to kill 4000 young US solders & economic damage to the tune of us$9.5 Trillion. Tell me if Sadam is a loser & Bush and cabals are winners (J) Fun is still on and Fauxy news is thriving and Bush is still liked in USA. Let Bush, Cheney & Cabals sit in Iraqi Green zone,till they are able to bring peace in Iraq and see the last solder leave Iraq.

New American Century members should be hanged for treason!!! This is a Zionist funded organization that attempts to get America intertwined with Israels problems. Fuck New American Century and all you you Zionist bastards who got us into war for Israel. While you send your children to the finest universities in America to become doctors and lawyers, you sent our troops in harms way to achieve your Zionist, Jewish agenda. Keep it up and there will be a second holocaust.
