Bush* is poised to send many, many Marines to their deaths...
......Fallujah in his war for oil. The Oil Ministry was the ONLY ministry protected in the aftermath of the war. There's your moral values.

1. Stop buying the "moral values" meme. It's their cover story.
Ignore it.

3. Yep - I think some people probably did vote for that reason, but
that's not what they had on their minds at all. I don't think they're going to try to pass any big "morality" legislation...they're just going to continue lining their pockets and rubbing their hands together with glee while we continue with the infighting between the "two Americas."

They want to polarize us so that they can continue their illegal war while we are focused on each other.

Cynical bastards.

11. You're righ. I would be shocked if Bush ever mentions
abortion OR gay marriage over the next 4 years. They need to keep those two issues in their pocket to rile up their base again.

5. What Is The Call To Action?
what do we do, just sit back and ignore it? Voting won't help, demonstrations are limp biscuit, what is left? I say stop paying your so called taxes! 55-million voted against the Bu$h*t, what if 40-million failed to file tax forms? Are they going to process all of us in time, I think not!

4. Most of the military voted for Bush anyway
They wanted it, they got it.

6. There's nothing holding him back anymore
He doesn't give a shit about world opinion and he damn sure doesn't care what any of us say. So it's bombs away.

Get ready for Stalingrad, Version 2.0

And when we have destroyed the city and killed thousands, Bush will say we had to destroy Fallujah to save it for democracy and his legions will stand and shout, "Amen."

7. Bush said there would be NO CASUALTIES....
Are you saying he was, *gasp*, wrong while playing "Toy Soldier" with the sons and daughters of America?

8. Sarcasm...they want to protect fetuses for this purpose....
at least until they have developed an African peace and war army to tend to the world - that is what the batterer proposed a few weeks ago. He thinks its a great idea if Africans were groomed for a world police force role.

10. frankly, I'm a whole lot less concerned about those Marines...
...who at least signed up and trained to kill people in foreign countries than I am about the citizens of Falluja who are forced to defend their city against a foreign garrison force and it's collaborators. Dozens of Iraqi civilians will die for every Marine that falls. Thousands of Iraqis will die who were once part of the justification for selling the invasion-- now they're the "enemy" necessary to continue the occupation.
