Support the troops, blah, blah, blah. Whatever you do don't
listen to them speak truth about the horrors of war! For four
days veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars told their
personal stories about the reality of war on the ground. Where
was the media?

A media that is supposed to be a mouthpiece for Liberal
propaganda passed on a chance to rub Republicans noses in the
horror that their arrogant and incompetent administration
unleashed on our troops and the people of the Middle East.

For four days REAL soldiers, not "in-bedded" puppets
and blubbering phony war cheerleaders told their real life
stories while our President trotted around playing damage
control for his own pathetic ass.

The Bush administration has ushered in the era of the media
friendly fantasy war. Where reality is made up like a video
game plot and blood, pain, death and mutilation is invisible.
A war bought on credit with the citizens paying the bill.

Please see the following sites for more information and to
hear about the reality of the terror this administration has
wrought. The price of which we will pay for generations to
come.

6. The Media is Ignoring It On Purpose. If the Truth Came Out Congress Would Be Demanded...
Edited on Mon Mar-24-08 06:16 PM by fascisthunter
to Stop Funding it!

Why? Because this war especially was trumped up on lies and misconceptions that the media and their professional punditry paid by the GOP have been telling average Americans. A war cannot be maintained on lies and half-truths, not while good people die on both sides. Iraqi civilians, as well as American soldiers.....

If this war was really a noble one, you wouldn't see Chickenhawks talking shit. Even they know this war is BS... it's why they aren't willing to make the sacrifice themselves. WWII? People enlisted and were proud to... they understood what was at stake! This war? We all know it's BS, even the chickenhawks promoting it!

Oh... kicked and recommended.

8. One of these links is not like the others
It looks like www.wintersoldier.com was set up by the Swiftboat Veterans who smeared John Kerry.
