Pictures from inside war torn Iraq leave me with little to say and if you know me that’s saying a lot. As the war and U.S. led occupation rumbles toward another year I am amazed at the level of politics that are being played with American soldiers lives swinging in the balance.
Democrats and Republicans are jostling over legislation that will support the soldier’s by bringing them back home and neither of these political groups can recognize that fact. There is a pissing match going on in Washington while Iraq continues to hurtle to the abyss. Some Republican lawmakers are warning the Democrats that they are making a mistake by not listening to military personnel in the warzone. I can remember not too long ago COLIN POWELL, a military chief, sitting before Congress and describing Iraq’s WMD’s. Shame on you for fooling me once. Shame on me for letting it go down all over again. The truth is that the people in that area have fought each other since time immemorial and there is nothing we can do to stop that. Democrats and Republicans have to put aside their politics and return the American soldiers to their families.
What’s this reedonkulous talk of building a wall in Baghdad?!? Didn’t we agree that for forty years this was a bad idea in Berlin? At least in Berlin we didn’t have to worry about people blowing themselves up with their rucksacks. I’m embarrassed to think that these are the decisions being created by professional war planners.
Desperate times do call for desperate measures and the idea that Iran is being acknowledged for their influence in the region means that the BUSH Administration would be willing to talk to anyone to save face.
Too bad SADDAM HUSSEIN’s dead already.
It’s funny…at the same time they bash democrats for timetables, Gates says they need to put pressure on Iraqis to stand up. How do you pressure them to do anything and then say we’ll be there indefinitely? Maddness…double talk.
As I read this, I’m watching Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove. I’m not trying to be profound or pretentious, I just am, I can multitask like that.
Yo Dallas , I got this clip somewhere, where a 12-year old kid was chopping some snitches head off in Iraq, shit was actually pretty gruesome……..Stop Snitching is Universal….I think he had a stop snitching shirt on but I couldnt read the arabic
What a wicked waste of life, time & money operation Free Iraq has been. The Bush adminstration has no plan other than stay the course and dump this mess in President Mccain’s lap.
Doctor Strangelove is a classic piece Nigeria….and that multitasking talent you mention is just A.D.D. I got a PHD in A.D.D. I spent About 12 years of my life watching TV, Reading, listening to music and smoking de herb all at the same time. I’m all effed up now.
Not to mention the fact that 7/10 Iraqis want us gone–and most believe that violence will slow once the occupation ends.
Queen Laura actually took her frighteningly bland ass on TV and said that throughout this war, nobody is ‘hurting more than her and King George.’ I think that kid in the picture above might beg to differ. I bet 3300 US families might beg to differ.
Laser-guided, depleted uranium tipped, M4-A1 democracy. Works 100% of the time 1% of the time.
Got Damn.
I come from Poland and I Think You did’t now how important are this teritorries. At now we can’t do anything to stop this “war”. Irak, Iran, Afganiastan – we must controlled it because if we go off with there – ity can be a truelly fuckin serious war for a few years – think about it. It not so easy to have some decisions with it. Soldiers who goes to army now that they maybe must go and fight for a point. In Poland we hace peace and no enemys there, but You county can be in dangerous for a few years if you leave Iraq.
I beg to differ as well FBomb, especially with his dumb happy ass trying to entertain folks dancing and playing the drums in Africa. I did not find the ish funny. People are losing their children, wives, and husbands over what went from terrorism, WMD’s, now freedom for Iraq. Dude is about to leave office and go live on his Texas ranch, happily ever after. 55% of the American people want this ish to be done. Dude says he doesn’t watch the polls so basically we should just eff off because he doesn’t give a sh*t!
Yeah as a kid I like gruesome, morbid crap. As you get older and experience violence either firsthand or directly witness it, you change.
I get the message in the text and the truths within. But I can’t handle the truth in the picture. You’re killing me. While I still like and watch combatitive sports and some knockouts make me queazy. I mess with Rotten.com every once in a 6-7 month period. THAT PICTURE IS SICK. I totally understand pacifist, but action is some times necessary . . . I’m just not picking up a rifle. Life is precious.
Thanks for the constant reminder, outside of the more really important news like Imus crap, the media vs. hip-hop, Sports, celebrity-worship news, and the campaign follies of who’s not going to win the next presidency, DP reminds me that Bush is responsible for ruining the futures of Iraq and Americans.
