2. My wife called them "sitting ducks" just this morning.
Suddenly, we're getting all this reporting and footage of US military vehicles being blown up in a spectacular way.

The MSM meme has shifted.

3. Did you see that poor soldier on CNN with no nose?
Anderson Cooper, I think.

It was sickening.

4. This could generate a very powerful meme.
Edited on Tue Nov-22-05 04:20 AM by Sinistrous
Perhaps an editorial cartoonist could draw bush at the lanyard of a trap loaded with an American GI. The shooter could be your choice of bad guy. The caption would, of course, be simply "Pull".

Sick? Not as sick as the carnage in Iraq.

Edited to add:
(Oh, silly me, I forgot the bush anthrax gambit.)

5. "Okay, men . . . today's mission is to drive down the streets . . .
of Baghdad until someone starts shooting at you" . . .

9. Exactly. If the Republican argument that we are "fighting them there
so we don't have to fight them here", doesn't that mean that BushCo is using our troops as bait?

6. Hey -- you guys are talking about "reality"! Isn't that against
the law in today's 'Murka?

Nobody wants to be bothered with dead American soldiers during the Holidays...c'mon, where is your Christmas spirit? Slap the yellow ribbon on your car and all is well with the world...You are doing your part.

I have never felt such hate and rage like I feel for this administration. The fact that these fuckers lied to our country to make a case for war, didn't plan a fucking thing and then sent our men and women into harm's way without the support they needed makes me sick to my stomach.

How many innocent men, women and children have been killed, injured and maimed for life so these chickenhawk pieces of shit can play "soldier"? Try and tell me that this war isn't about oil...go ahead, try it. I will laugh in your fucking face.

This whole administration should be tried as war criminals. All the money that Darth Cheney has made off of his Haliburton stocks should be confiscated. Isn't that what they do to drug dealers? Cheney is a fucking "death dealer"; take that money away.

Bush - guilty
Cheney - guilty
Wolfowitz - guilty
Rice -- guilty
Powell -- guilty
Rove -- guilty
Libby - guilty
Bolton -- guilty
Tenet -- guilty

Any of you media fucks that helped them -- you are guilty too. Get in line and wait your turn. We'll get to you, don't you worry.
