Don't get me wrong. I am a proud American, and a Patriot. But first and foremost I am a Human being. I can not sit here no longer without expressing my opinion. The times we are living in now are very difficult to live in. How can we sit here and not feel some sense of disbelief, and sorrow of what is going on in Iraq. Coalition Soldiers are losing their lifes, and fighting for what cause? To remove a Tirant from Office? Yea right, I am sorry, but the politicst of this whole situation just simply stinks. We are also killing civilians in Iraq, woman, and children who have nothing to do with this situation, very sad. They are just humans trying to live their lives, just like us, no different. For crying outloud, Animals behave better than we do. Don't beleive everything our Government tells us, just look at the chemtrail situation, they don't tell us anything about that. I am not an idiot who goes out protesting, disturbing police, and city offices, we need all the police help we can get to protect us from future terrorism, not taking their prescious time. Not to mention the money we are spending in overtime for the officers to control the protesting. I am all for protest, but not to disruption. We need ideas to get it across to congress to stop Bush. Yes I said stop Bush. Lives are being lost just to rectify his daddy's mistake. In closing Bush keeps speeking of "VICTORY", but I am sorry President Bush, we allready lost. There is no such thing of "VICTORY" in a so called "WAR" like this. Everyone loses, except for the RICH. Please stop the violence!!!! Let the U.N go back for a year and do their jobs. Who is next, North Korea; Pakistan; India; Afganistan, where does it end. Saddamm can be dealt with, in other methods, do it get out and stop the KILLING. Thank YOu!!! |

Yep, I read from George McGovern and a MP from England that Iran, Syria, and North Korea are next.
Power is like heroin or crack. You need more and more, and eventually it makes you insane. Bush is madder than a march hare, and I read the Russians and Chinese are beefing up their defense. The Minister of Defense of Russia said they have 37% of the world's oil, so from Putin down, they are deeply concerned that the oil-soaked, cocaine and alcohol damaged Bush will march upon their country.

I'd say they are about as equally bad...but have their own shining examples of what a perfect TYRANT should be.
Remember that Bush SR. did buisness with both Saddam and the Bin Ladens.

"I WAS JUST TRYING TO GET SOME FREAKIN FOOD"!!
BAGHDAD, Iraq (March 2 - Iraq's information minister said at least 58 people were killed Friday in a crowded market in northwest Baghdad by what local officials called a coalition bombing.
The market was strewn with wreckage and there were bloodstains on a sidewalk. Crowds of mourners wailed and blood-soaked children's slippers sat on the street not far from a crater blasted into the ground.
The U.S. Central Command in Qatar said it was looking into the report. Iraqi officials have blamed U.S. forces for explosions at another market that killed 14 people on Wednesday. The Pentagon had denied targeting the neighborhood.
Early Saturday, a strong explosion shook the center of Baghdad, and it appeared to be located on the west bank of the Tigris River. Many government departments are located in the area, including the Information Ministry.
Information Minister Mohammed Saeed Sahhaf said 58 people were killed in the market explosion, and said the number was likely to rise because many others were wounded. There were conflicting reports, however, on the number of casualties.
Haqi Ismail Razouq, director of al-Nour Hospital, where the dead and injured were taken, put the death toll at 30 and the number of injured at 47; surgeon Issa Ali Ilwan said 47 were killed and 50 injured. Witnesses said they counted as many as 50 bodies.
There was no immediate explanation for the discrepancy.
''Why do they makes mistakes like these if they have the technology?'' asked Abdel-Hadi Adai, who said he lost his 27-year-old brother-in-law Najah Abdel-Rida in the blast. ''There are no military installations anywhere near here.''
Sahhaf said civilians were being targeted because Iraqi troops had defeated coalition forces in battles
''These are cowardly air raids,'' he told Lebanon's Al-Hayat LBC satellite television.
Most of the injuries were caused by shrapnel, said Dr. Ahmed Sufian.
''The women and children were screaming,'' he said. ''We were overwhelmed. What will they hit next? This hospital?''
The Al-Nasr market is in the working-class district of al-Shoala. Witnesses said the bombing took place when the market was at its busiest, around 6 p.m. They said they saw an aircraft flying high overhead just before the blast.
The explosion left a crater the size of a coffee table on a sidewalk in front of a row of food and other shops. Curiously, nothing was blackened in the immediate surrounding area.
Water was seeping from ruptured pipes and corrugated iron was dangling from the roofs of the damaged shops.
A red Volkswagen was parked only a few yards from the crater, peppered with what could have been flying shrapnel.
At the hospital, relatives of the dead and wounded wept hysterically and yelled the names of their loved ones. Many searched for relatives or friends.
Speaking from his hospital bed, Ali Kheidir Saleh, 23, said he was in a house near the market when the blast brought down part of the house.
Another of the injured, 52-year-old construction contractor Salman Zaki Kazim, was struck by shrapnel in his hip. He was shopping for a TV antenna, accompanied by his granddaughter and son-in-law, at the time of the bombing. Neither was hurt.
At the scene of the bombing, women in black chadors were sobbing outside homes where some of the victims lived. Men cried and hugged each other and participants in a funeral procession shouted the Muslim creed, ''There is no God but God,'' as they walked through the market.
Down the road, residents gathered at a Shiite Muslim mosque, crowded around seven wooden coffins draped in blankets. Some of the men stood silently. Others sobbed into trembling hands. In the background, women cried, ''Oh God! Oh God!''
Another witness, Omar Ismail, a 35-year-old engineer who witnessed the explosion, said body parts were strewn across the street.
''Why do they hate the Iraqi people so much?'' he asked.
Iraqi state television, meanwhile, said three Iraqis had been arrested for spying for the United States, alleging they were assigned to inspect areas of Baghdad that had been attacked to determine if they needed to be hit again.
The report identified the men as Ibrahim Abdel Qader, Ghareeb Ahmed Hamadeh and Hussein Shahed. Qader was quoted as saying he was given about two pounds of TNT from ''foreigners - Americans,'' and Shahed said he was recruited by an American he identified as ''Gen. Mike'' who was from the CIA.
Explosions in the capital late Thursday night and early Friday were aimed at disrupting communications between Saddam Hussein's leadership and his military, U.S. officials said. Airstrikes also targeted positions of the Republican Guard - Saddam's best-trained, best-equipped fighters - in a ring outside the city.
Sahhaf said the overnight airstrikes had killed seven people in Baghdad and wounded 92. The Arab television network Al-Jazeera reported eight people were killed at Baath party headquarters in bombing Friday afternoon.
The airstrikes hit at or near the Information and Planning ministries and at telephone installations - ''as if government buildings are empty of human beings and there are no civilians in them,'' Sahhaf said.
The attack gutted a seven-story telephone exchange building in an area called Al-Alwya.
