Another of our local boys is killed in Iraq
Edited on Sat Aug-14-04 01:01 PM by Nightjock
Michael Tarlavsky of New Jersey, 30 years old, was killed Thursday during a raid in the city of Najaf.
Tarlavsky was married in 2002 and had a 10-month-old son.

I was driving home with lunch for MY 11 MONTH OLD BOY when I heard that on the radio....
and the middle of traffic in my car...
my stomach sank...

and to know one in particular I said "Fucking George Bush."

How can people vote for him because he's religous and a good man?

when children are growing up without a parent..
and parents are burying thier children...

in a war we DID NOT have to fight!!!!
And that smirky bastard says he would do it all over again.

Some people say it is wrong to say you hate George Bush. But how should you feel about someone destroying entire families?
I hate him. And I do not apologize for it.

1. I loathe and despise him and all his crew
but I have a horrible feeling he may win this time. I have never felt so anxious about the future of this country and of the world, as I do knowing we have a total moron in charge. It's like "The Dead Zone", and it's really frightening.

3. Here is a snippet from the story
CLIFTON, N.J. (AP) Family members remembered a Clifton man killed in Iraq as a natural athlete who dreamed as a youngster of becoming a soldier.

Michael Tarlavsky, 30, was killed Thursday during a raid in the holy city of Najaf, according to a published report. He was a captain with the 1st Battalion, 5th Special Forces Group, based in Fort Campbell, Ky.

Tarlavsky was married in 2002 and had a 10-month-old son, his family told the Herald News of West Paterson for Saturday's editions.

they just are what they are, therefore no apologies necessary.
