The gave their life and limbs so that others may bath in Oil and Arms profits.

DEAD TROOPS = HALLIBURTON PROFITS = MONEY IN DICK CHENEY'S BLOODY TREASONOUS POCKETS.

US Troops are a disposible commodity for the Bush Criminals.

As in the song below (an excerpt), when will the soldiers say no more to this maddness? Many are, by walking away from the military or not signing up in the first place. It's bothersome that they are paying more and more money to keep good soldiers and to get recruits.

SUZANNE VEGA LYRICS

"The Queen & The Soldier"

The soldier came knocking upon the queen's door
He said, "I am not fighting for you any more"
The queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before
And slowly she let him inside.

He said, "I've watched your palace up here on the hill
And I've wondered who's the woman for whom we all kill
But I am leaving tomorrow and you can do what you will
Only first I am asking you why."

Down in the long narrow hall he was led
Into her rooms with her tapestries red
And she never once took the crown from her head
She asked him there to sit down.

He said, "I see you now, and you are so very young
But I've seen more battles lost than I have battles won
And I've got this intuition, says it's all for your fun
And now will you tell me why?"

etc., etc.

What kind of monster smiles, grins and smirks at the physical and mental destruction of another human being. Bush was having fun. Bush is a very sick human being. He looks at other's tragedy as a mild form of entertainment, as something that would never happen to him. He does not have the ability to care for another as normal human beings care for other human beings. He grew up as a destructive, sadistic child and these photos show that he still takes pleasure in looking at the end result of his destruction. I am sure he had the same cold smile as he flew over the destroyed city of New Orleans. He likes to destroy, it is his only attachment to his place in the world. Its the only way he proves to himself that he is powerful. He destroys and then he smiles.

Bush should be in tears and profusely thanking those soldiers.
IMO W looks and acts like he's back on the bottle and snortin' coke. Cheney bring the beer & coke the day after swearing in? What's he giving the Congress- herione from Afghanistan? He has successfully gotten all of US on Antidepressant- we feel nothing, numb from head to toe (flouride had run it's course)- an dif that hadn't done th etrick- send in the Lead and antifreeze to quiet any independent thouhgt.
Regardless if true or not- I'll pin that on Cheney too.Along with any other conspiracy theory out there.Oh how I hate that demon.

The MSM say 25,000 wounded. But they dare not show you the wounded. The obscenity of war is much clearer when you can put a face to these statistics.

I am horrified at these photographs and my heart goes out to those men and their families.The war is completely illegal and any tears bush sheds is through guilt,pure and simple.Its a digrace!!

"And believe me, no one suffers more than their president" - Laura Bush

Tell us Laura, where are the visible, or even the unseen evidence of George's suffering? Did you look at those pictures Laura? Do you really believe that no one suffers more? Please! You are disgustingly naive if you think we believe your sanctimoniuos drivel!

Let's all remember that there are Iraqis who have been maimed and they look even worse. Their once fine medical care system was destroyed by Bush.

650,000 Iraqis are dead and many more horribly injured like these soldiers.

If we all agree this war is about oil, let me ask you the question that we are asking at MY house. What can WE do to reduce our carbon foot print?

It's easy to critize an administration for this war...But ultimately it is OUR use of carbon-based fuels that is the root cause of this war.

Think about it.

I'm sorry, but I'm gonna say it: these poor guys were duped. And there's the duper-in-chief grinning like it was somehow honorable that they got maimed for contractor and big oil money. It isn't. Bush is a war criminal and a profiteer enabler. He dismantled the freedoms these guys are supposedly fighting for. He even has most of them believing Saddam launched 9/11. How dare he go do a photo-op with them as if her was a real leader fighting a real war. If they had any sense left they'd use their military training to strangle the life out of him.

Isn't it ironic that 19 Arab hijackers have taken away your countrys freedom and privacy?

OBL is a lot smarter than I thought.

Here's to the stolid embryonic parasite
of unknown origin and its mindless minions

WAR PIGS
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of deaths construction
In the fields of bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
poisoning their brainwashed minds,oh lord yeah
!

Polititians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role for the poor

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgement day comes,yeah!

Now in darkness,world stops turning
As the war machine keeps burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement,God is calling
On their knees,the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing,spreads his wings
All right now!
Remember that one? History has repeated itself
! AGAIN
