60 Minutes, On treating the wounded in Iraq

[Botany]

Why are we there?

Why I am crying?

Oh for the love of God please make it stop. I know that Saddam was an S.O.B.
and that the hatreds go back generations but I can't help but watch and feel that
we have opened the jaws of hell .... operation Iraqi Freedom, please.

1. I agree. In tears, too.

Just awful.

[Botany]

5. I am a guy ..

I shouldn't cry like that.

I deer hunt a little, held friends & family for those last few minutes but to see that
baby and the 23 year man from West Virginia is just too much.

No damn good reason for all that blood & pain.

2. My wife and I changed the channel.

I thought it was a good idea to go into Iraq. I now realize it was a mistake. Part of the problem, only a part, is that many of those people don't react the way one would expect.

8. HOW could you have thought that??

Iraqis HATE US for our ILLEGAL INVASION WAR CRIME; is THAT how they "don't react the way one would expect"?
Well, SOME of us expected it.

12. It was never a good idea to go into Iraq. And the oil companies

won't see a dime out of that country. It was about oil and only oil. We will all have to live with what we have done or failed to do to cause this debacle. We're all guilty.

[OllieLotte]

15. Yes. Maybe. No. Yes. Sounds harsh.

IMHO

16. War and war mongering isn't about kittens. We did this.

3. They are just canon fodder for the military industrial complex

The corporate whores in the White House might as well just feed the flesh and blood of young servicemen and women directly into the Wall Street trading pits.

4. How does the blivet sleep at night?

:grr:

7. Ambien, Lunesta, Scotch, Valium, a little Prozac to boot n/t

[acmejack]

13. He never lost a wink.

He couldn't care less. His parents went golfing the day his Sister died! The Bushes aren't big on compassion even for their own, how can they possibly give a shit about the "rabble"?

[WinkyDink]

6. That young woman soldier who died after getting shrapnel in her brain; that child

with the amputated arm~~~THIS WAR IS EVIL. There is NO other word. And for that doctor to sit there with that child and to say to Scott that "it's worth it"---HE is EVIL, TOO.

Satan rules, even if there is no Satan.

ETA: I sit corrected~~~THAT INNOCENT NON-COMBATANT with the shrapnel in her brain.

[Botany]

10. She wasn't a soldier

She was just an Iraqi in the wrong place & the wrong time.

Thanx to the war we brought to her country.

[BOSSHOG]

9. That story is a result of republican values

Our kids are getting slaughtered because conservative have no values. And imagine the death toll if those professionals weren't doing the outstanding job that they do. bush would fuck up putting a bandaid on his knee.

[Botany]

14. When I saw those men & women coming in and doing what they are ...

.... doing to save those people .... they make me proud. Screw politics.
Save those lives.
