Nearly everyone in Iraq has been negatively affected by this ill defined War. Orphans will grow into soldiers.

How on Earth can we (the Western nations who invaded Iraq) support these people?

I am an Australian and I feel deep and absolute shame that my government has had a part in this.

Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield and all those that caused this illegal invasion need to be held accountable for propagating this madness.

Hi all,

This is regarding the image that Christy posted this am of the small child being held by the soldier. Does anyone remember a similar image posted sometime ago ? A standing soldier carrying a small child, a tragic image. I’ve been searching for it, slogged through some of the Iraq posts – but there’re almost 500 of them. I searched using soldier. Anyone remember when around that was or a better method of searching than I’m using.

I’d appreciate some help. Gracias.

… he remains immune to the kind of embarrassment that would have required an honorable man to resign from office long ago.

What does he have to be embarassed about, it wasn’t a matter of misinterpreting intelligence or anything else – they wanted to go into Iraq and install a permanent base as part of his energy strategy – the faux rationale(s) for war were fabricated out of the whole cloth of deceit, deliberately … and they got away with it.

Someone over at gabbly just said that David Shuster just reported the same thing being scrolled at the bottom of the TV: “verdict could come at any minute.” Is Shuster still in the media room with you, Marcy? Could he know something you guys don’t?

Hey,

I bet it’s making you watch MSNBC, right? Any other questions?

The verdict could come at any moment. but we certainly haven’t gotten word that is IS coming.

Not me. I’m at work. Of course, I’ll be watching when I get home!

Okay, no more discussions that include the words Cheney or kinky, or any implications thereon. I’d like my lunch to stay inside, thanks.

Oops – just saw this.

I humbly apologize to you and your GI tract, with special apologies to the gastroesophageal sphincter.

My bad.
