KLD nailed it.  So true.  I just read a book called "Chasing Ghosts"  I highly suggest to anyone who thinks our troops blindly follow Bush's ramblings.  It's written by a Iraq vet, and he tells it like it is...water shortages, no batteries for their night vision goggles, no Hummers when they first got there, not enough troop strength, etc.  Most people are in the military for a free education.  The military is a great option to learn a trade/skill on the gov't dollar.  I have nothing but the highest respect for service men and woman.  They are smart, they know Bush is an idiot just as much as the rest of us.  But since they are in the military, their job is do what our gov't asks them to do.  Bush is a horrible president.  Plain and simple.  He is in way over his head and does not have the moral fortitude to handle the place of power he has.  Fuck Bush, and fuck the Iraq war.  We should've never gone in the first place.  Do you really think the Iraq people have a better life now?  Now, because of us, Iraq is on the verge of civil war.  Oh yeah, I'm sure they love that.
