		<description>What&#039;s so sad is we will soon be at 6,000. Then 7,000. How long until we hit the big five-digit territory?</description>

		<description>Of course you&#039;ll more than likely hear the talking bobble heads who supported this murderous fiasco saying that it&#039;s in bad taste to bandy about numbers of the dead.  Gee!  Ya think so? Guess we should never talk about the dead from any past horrors then.  That would be &quot;unseemly&quot;.</description>

		<description>I agree 100%, just like veitnam we the people have learned nothing, and this fighting for greed has got to stop.

we the people our paying more attention, but it may be to late, and the end of time as we know it might be here


note I have found the Goldern Years, for me it was in the 60, didn&#039;t get payed much, but time were good and family stayed together, same wife 43 years, rasied three kids, I put Veitman behind me, even though I lost a foot do to a land mine, I still worked for 35 years. and this is the greatest thing I have taugh my family good work and good family value, it a shame the people we elected don&#039;t have these same values

		<description>If anyone is curious please Google &#039;what does one trillion dollars look like&#039;. Then consider some economists estimate the war in Iraq will cost us THREE trillion dollars.</description>

		<description>I agree that redeployment and demobilization are in order, although I shudder to think what sort of blowback we would be unleashing upon the citizenry at home by doing so (Charles Whitman and Timothy McVeigh are two names that come to mind when I think of the future).

As for why anyone would join the U.S. armed forces today, it&#039;s almost exclusively for economic reasons, as has been the case for the entire post-Vietnam War history of America&#039;s &quot;All Volunteer&quot; armed forces.  For all of Michael Moore&#039;s inexcusable faults, his documentary segment in &lt;i&gt;Fahrenheit 911&lt;/i&gt; in which he followed two Marine Corps recruiters through the slums of his hometown of Flint, Michigan as they pitched their routine to disadvantaged blue-collar whites and unemployed blacks was spot-on.  NO ONE, especially not the children of the upper middle class and the rich, would willingly become cannon fodder for the Red, White, and Blue Empire if they had other viable options.  As for &quot;defending&quot; America or its freedoms, not one in 10,000 pieces of cannon fodder inducted into today&#039;s U.S. armed forces has the even vaguest notion of what that really means.  Publik skool indoctrination has seen to it that none of these young minds grasps the concepts behind the nation&#039;s founding.  Combine this with economic desperation and you have whole populations of desperate youth who will willingly do ANYTHING for three squares, a roof over their head, and a paycheck - including the commission of mass murder.</description>

		<description>Professional murderers, torturers are mercenaries and should know that those who live by the sword die by the sword.

Resistance to anglo-american Nazis will only increase, new fronts against Iran and North Korea + Russia are still to be played out.</description>
