Marines had to beg for food
The Bush administration's rush to war meant that our soldier's were not only undermanned, but they were also grossly underequipped. They had to scavenge for food, water, weapons, ammunition, and spare parts.

Loud mouthed conservatives who supported and enabled this administration are also responsible for the gross criminal behavior exhibited by the incompetent bastards in the White House and in the Pentagon.

2. When we kick Bush out...
I say we release all the detainees back into Afghanistan and put Bush, his entire administration, DeLay and Lott, into the cages under military guard. Make sure the soldiers who are guarding them are the same ones who were stuck in Iraq, begging for supplies. Jesus, this makes me angry!

4. Now with Bill Moyers
Interviewed a top Military watchdog that says the Trillions of unaccountable tax dollars does not go to the troops (nothing new here... same as Reagan era). It goes to Fat Cat in the Military/Industrial/Congressional Complex (not new either).

What was new was the new guise of "War on Terror" and ther big shocker is he blamed these mega-thieves as the Un-Americans weakening our defense. Yes America, the guys are stealing money for schools, welfare and other social programs and infra-structure as they weaken our defenses!

6. I saw this and it was great
they use the fear of terrorists to get more defense spending. They are using it for the Star Wars missle defense, which would not help at all in terrorist attacks. Worse, it does not work at all. They have taken away a lot of the accountability of the pentagon as to where the money is going. It's a sick thing.

8. How sad
And now the Bush team repays the pentagon by axing its general
who dissagreed with the mighty tyrant.
