It seems like every day we get a new high, or a low high, depending on how sad you are about what is happening. FU*K BUSH. AND FU*K THE LIES THAT HE STANDS FOR. AND FU*K THE SELLOUT COLUMNISTS WHO LIE FOR HIM. QUOTE THAT ON YOUR CONSERVATIVE SITE ANDREW S.

Copters Crash in Iraq, Kill 17 Soldiers
12 minutes ago

By MARIAM FAM, Associated Press Writer

MOSUL, Iraq - Two Black Hawk helicopters collided and crashed Saturday night, killing 17 American soldiers in the U.S. military's worst single loss of life since the Iraq (news - web sites) war began.


Five soldiers were injured and one was missing, the U.S. military said. The military said the cause of the crash was under investigation but a witnesses said one of the helicopters was hit by ground fire before it crashed into the other helicopter and a U.S. soldier said he heard reports that one of the choppers was hit by a rocket.


As the U.S. death toll in Iraq passed the 400 mark, the Iraqi Governing Council endorsed a U.S. plan Saturday that would create a provisional government by June. The transfer of power would provide Washington with an "exit strategy" in the face of escalating guerrilla warfare.

1. I would like to address Mr. Sullivan too
You are one smarmy bastard; people like you have blood on your hands. I'm sure you are just now figuring out that installing an unelected idiot into the White House might not have been a good idea. But you'll never admit it, will you? YOU FUCKING SUCK.

5. And you know what else Mr. Sullivan is guilty of
Selling out the very constituency he was born into, the gay populace. What kind of human being could be gay and openly support Republicans?

Think about that Andrew. Your party is run by the strict bible right. Men like Rick Santorum stand up and compare your lifestyle to having sex with animals. Beastiality.

How does that make you feel Andrew? Have you no feelings?

2. It will only get worse.
Bush will never pull out, only escalate the violence. The ranks of the resistance will swell as young men's fathers, mothers, siblings, and children are killed by american bombs. They will learn as they go and their tactics will only get more effective. Eventually we're going to pull out and a lot of collaboraters are going to get shot. I only hope that the next president doesn't keep us there out of concern for losing hawk votes, like Nixon.

Fuck everybody who started this war and supported it.

3. Rumsfeld said U.S. troops will not withdraw anytime soon.
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said U.S. troops will not withdraw anytime soon.

"The timetable or the way ahead that the Governing Council has been describing relates to the governance aspects of the country and not to the security aspects," Rumsfeld said in Japan. "That's on a separate track."

and here i thought we weren't interested in staying... just 'liberating' :puke:

btw: make that 18... =(

"Earlier in the day, a 1st Armored Division soldier was killed by a roadside bomb in Baghdad. The crash put the number of American casualties since the March invasion at 417."

peace

4. Now I wish I'd put my last post here.
Oh well.

BTW, how does someone go "missing" in a helicopter crash, especially for this long? How many other "missing" do we have, unreported?
