1. So let me get this straight. The majority of Americans want

out, the soldiers want out, the Iraqis want us out, and the only thing keeping us there is Dimson/Cheney/Rummy?
What's wrong with this picture?:-(

Not to mention the bodies, the caskets, the wounded, the outraged, the mourning...all the stuff the public doesn't see because it's too 'messy'.
Thanks for this.

2. War for profit.

Oil. Control of the Middle East. I just can't wrap my mind around their way of thinking.

I weep for our country. I really do. :cry:

[babylonsister]

3. I think it's beyond that. This admin

royally screwed up and doesn't know how to make it all better. Profit in Iraq? I doubt it - we're being played at the expense of a lot of lives, and that's more untenable than profit.

[im10ashus]

5. Oh, I fully agree.

The profit was their impetus for going in - to get control of the oil-rich region. But they saw how it backfired and quickly.

[AuntiBush]

12. How much more do they want?

profit-wise? I mean, how much more?

[babylonsister]

26. I honestly don't think it's about money anymore. It's about saving

face at the expense of sweet young men or women, or older guys who used to be in the reserve, or anyone else they sold this war to....

[im10ashus]

27. I agree, sister.

They can't admit when they are wrong. EVER. And now they will continue to dig a deeper hole and then someone else will have to dig us out of there. It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

4. Extraordinary.

Thank you for the link.

[im10ashus]

8. You are welcome.

I wish more people would view it. I think it is the most profound statement.

:shrug:

[ClayZ]

31. It blew us away! K and R

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

6. Everyone should see this. nt.

[im10ashus]

7. I agree. n/t

[SlavesandBulldozers]

23. yeah, and not necessarily hear it.

that song sucks.

sorry. it does.
:eyes:

powerful images though. Though I've seen them before. The song detracts from the images,immensely, the show's much more powerful on mute.


just saying.

[niyad]

9. that link locked up my computer.

[im10ashus]

10. Strange.

It's worked for mine and others. Perhaps the problem is on your end?

:shrug:

[im10ashus]

11. KICK!

So the freeper on board tonight can see!'

:mad:

[alittlelark]

13. You are discussing my mothers God...

He/ she/ it is sooo f*cked up.


There is no retribution.

[im10ashus]

14. I am sorry.

You have lost me. :shrug:

[alittlelark]

30. My mothers God is whatever she needs IT to be... but it is MALE

And the MALE God she sees is hateful.

15. Kicked Recommended & Thank YOU for posting this!

I couldn't read the quotes in red at the beginning and end of the video, could someone put them up here?

"I'll blow your fuckin' head off, for my country"

Maybe that line fits in the other current war topic this evening, eh?

[im10ashus]

16. Right here:

"Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime."

-Ernest Hemmingway

"The pioneers of a warless world are the youth that refuse military service."

-Albert Einstein

[countryjake]

24. Thanks!

I've listened to it three times now. Good to get our heads cleared of bullshit!

[im10ashus]

25. You are welcome.

Yeah, we need to see the truth. Even if it hurts. :hi:

[countryjake]

29. It kinda reminds me of...

Simon and Garfunkel's Seven O'clock News/Silent Night, the way it starts out.

[EFerrari]

17. Number 8 here. n/t

[im10ashus]

18. Hey doll!

This video made me cry.

[EFerrari]

19. It made me put my head in my hands.

You were right.

[im10ashus]

20. Quickly followed by anger.

I feel like I am going through all the stages of grieving now. So sad.
