...happy holidays to all...better days are ahead...

Yep. Except 100 billion more for Iraq and an additional 25,000 troops.

...ouch...

are the 3,000 troops added to the 9/11 tower/airliner casualties for total death-count against U.S. democracy? what about the Iraqi troops/civilians. Cause if all this thats followed stems from that initial event and it's all about maximum carnage (as the gov't would have us believe), then it looks like the "terrorists" have lured us and are getting just what they wanted and will keep getting it.

...the peeps voted dem for dissatisfaction with Iraq charades, and look what is going on...more troops more war...similar to the border/immagration issue, while it is good to vote, I really don't think our vote means a thing to the folks running the show, just gives us something to involve ourselves in, like a big soap opera while they carry on with their master plan...

Our poor troops. Most of them will never be the same. Kinda like what Vietnam did to our men. They are caught up in some bullshit. I hope they can make it back home alive. Its a damn shame they have to be there.

...if service people see action in a war in a foreign land, and they make it back home, they should be taken care of, health care and salary for life...it's only fair if you risk your life for the country...

Damn straight tthunderdan. But our government finds ways to fuck everyone over.
