Exactly five years ago this minute,shock&awe was unleashed.

[Swede]

It's been going pretty swell since.

1. Just peachy, like rumdum promised us. All our soldiers got their flowers, didn't they?

Oh, I forgot...the only flowers they got were the ones in their hospital room or funeral home.

And the Iraqis seem to be SO happy, too...

2. Five fucking years. FIVE.

That's a loooonnnnnnggg time. Enough time to get married and then divorced. Enough time to have 3 kids. Enough time to get a Master's degree.

Sheesh, what a waste of time and lives.

[bdamomma]

6. it is sickening what these thugs have done to this country.

and just think it is not over yet. We are not being bombed but everything we stood for is gone, unless we fight to get our country back, take "fight" whatever way you want to.

[bdamomma]

3. and the media was right there routing for their corporate masters.

sickening, we are causing a humanitarian crisis due to Iraqis with no homes going to places like Jordan and Syria. We have stolen another people's country, how would we react if someone..........oh never mind it has already happened in the US.

4. "Yeah, that went well", said the fly

as it sat in the middle of the fly paper.

[underpants]

5. I thought it was at night

or did we just find out about it at 10PM or there abouts?

[Swede]

9. I sat down for lunch in the lunch room just as the bombs started hitting.

It is twelve o'clock here now. We all watched those bombs blasting Baghdad in total silence.

10. That's why I'm wearing black today.

Five years ago we did not just invade Iraq. We lashed out at all mankind.

[lpbk2713]

13. IMHO that's when we became the new bullies of the world.

... stealing the little kids' milk money.

11. 12/8/41 - 8/15/45

That is the exact time length of the US involvement in WWII. 3 years 8 months and some change. After 5 years no one will even try to think up an exit strategy. There will never be a VI day. More likely it will end with ambassadors fleeing on an embassy rooftop in Baghdad in a Backhawk.

12. Hannity said, as bombs were turning people to mist, how proud he was at that moment. nt

[Iris]

14. fucking pig.

I really despise that man. He is the poster boy of anti-intellectualism.

I remember this day. I worked late and when I got home, a homeless man was walking by my apartment screaming, "Fuck America! Fuck George Bush!" And I was right there with him in that moment.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

15. "The War Will Pay For Itself"

Tell that to the dead, the wounded, and the families of the deceased. :mad:

[Redstone]

16. Lie number what, 800 or 900? I had forgotten that lie, there were so many of them.

17. I hate that this country has become nothing but a money making venture for the Neocons

all the while bleeding the country of its morality, integrity, and resources. And Iraq, we have turned into a hell on earth... :grr:
