Carton of Kleenex alert...I am bawling my eyes out after watching this:

http://www.glumbert.com/media/welcomehome

GOD DAMN THE DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE
FOR THE TRAUMA OF THIS INSANE WAR.

I say we hold them all accountable, here and now.

1. Kicking for the real face of this war- 6 years old.

Edited on Sun Jun-17-07 08:02 PM by BeHereNow

Did anyone hear what the kid says near the end of the clip?
The damned voice over muffles it, but I swear
the kid says somethng along the line of
"I don't want you to get killed daddy..."

Just think of how many young children are living with this
fear today- and for WHAT?

Dick Cheney's stockholders?

4. It's hard

It's real hard, and...it's hard work. Daddy's got a big job gettin' the bad guys. You just gotta toughen up, little soldier and sacrifice. We all gotta sacrifice. Your daddy is bringin' democrucy to the folks in Iraq.

5. Welcome to DU

Yeah, how dare that little boy not shoulder his burden
in helping Dick Cheney and his Global Elite Club, the Congress
Piggies and various other shady characters rape and pillage the planet.
Send that kid to the wood shed, we'll give him something to cry about...
just like the good x-tians.
Spare the rod, spoil the profit pot.

6. Saw That A Few Weeks Ago. Definitely Moving. I Blame The Repubs And Bush Though, Not The Democrats

I former two should most definitely be held accountable for all they've done to perpetuate this war. The dems are doing the best they can. Hopefully in the future they can do even better.

7. Don't hold your breath OMC- war profiteering and greed controls both sides of the aisle.

SO much money to be made, and so little accountability required to
WE, the people.

8. Sorry, But I Support The Democrats. I Absolutely Think They're Doing The Best They Can And I Also

don't think their fight is over by a longshot.

Now you can spout Nader-like talking points all night at me if ya want, but it's really more a matter of you wasting your breath than it is of me holding mine. The Dems are doing what they can with what they have. I know they have more fight than they've shown and I also know there are more things coming in the future. I'm not disillusioned enough to lump all of them together as one big guilty party, as I still have my head in far more control of my objectivity than my emotions.

But I do hope the repubs and this administration do receive their accountability; someday.

9. For the record- I detest Nadar.

You and I are going to have to agree to disagree about certain things-
That is clear.

Mark my words on this though-
TPTB NEED to have a democrat in office to launch the next
phase of operation global insanity.
Mark my words, it's already been decided who it will be.
The rest is theatrics for the masses.
I wish I could believe what you do, but I can't.

The game is rigged and has been for years.
Do you really think TPTB are going away in our lifetimes?
I hate to tell you that this monster is global
and it intends to devour evey single soul,
it cares not about your party or beliefs-
it controls the whole damn mess- on BOTH SIDES.

11. Hell no- THE POWERS THAT BE...

Edited on Sun Jun-17-07 09:46 PM by BeHereNow

Bush Sr, Cheney, Kissinger, Armitage, Carlucci and a thousand others
you and I will never know the names of.
In short, the global elite.
They flip our Congress members some rather hefty
crumbs from their table to remain complicit with
"the plan." Hideous wealth for a few; servitude
and poverty for the rest of us.
Guess which end the Congress piggies want to
be on when all is said and done with that measuring stick.

On edit: Wake up OMC; they don't give a damn about WE, the people.

14. I Know What TPTB Stands For. But Everyone's Definition Of Who They Are Is Different.

Wanted to know what yours was.

And I'm awake just fine; thank you.

If I wasn't, I may accidentally sleepwalk and find myself wearing too big of a tin foil hat too.

13. Just About All Of Them. He's A Friggin Piece Of Shit Lunatic.

Obviously you're a Nader lover. Well wooooohooooo!! But I can't stand the deceitful, ignorant, arrogant, egotistical, narcissistic, lying, manipulating, misguided, narrow minded, selfish self centered piece of fucking filth. So generally, I'd rather not listen to any of that lunatic's talking points. Tell ya what though; feel free to listen to them for me.

22. If that is the best they could do, from the beginning

and before the war to this day.. if that is the best they can do, then no wonder we've created a literal hell on earth.

interested in body counts?

Edited on Sun Jun-17-07 11:34 PM by BeHereNow

:hi: :hug:

I don't blame people for clinging to hope-
unfortunately, I happen to be a realist.
The facts are the facts.
We are on our own.
I think knowing this greatly increases one's chance
of surviving the coming years.
I sure as shit aint counting on the Congress Piggies.
They will take care of their own, understandably-human nature and all.

Unfortunately for the rest of us, no one else will
act in the best interest of WE, the people- that corporate
payola is just too tempting.

I know, I'm preaching to the choir.
Love ya-

19. What killed me was near the end of the clip the little boy whimpered something about

Not wanting his daddy to be killed.
Good lord, someone tell me why a child that age
should have such worries...
And let's not even go into what life is like for the
innocent Iraqi children.
GOD DAMN the global elite.
I can't say that enough.
I think I'll say it again...
GOD DAMN THE GLOBAL ELITE and
their GREED.

And reptiles like Bush look at things like this with dry eyes and mouth platitudes like "it's hard work".

Heartwrenching and infuriating at the same time.

It reminded me of the scene in Sicko when the dad went off to Iraq just as the grandparents were moving in. That was gut-wrenching too.

One of the comments on the page for that video had the gall to try and justify the damn invasion. Scumbags.
