Iraq War Grief


Pass the flame on. This in not my graphic, it's from Iraq War Grief

President GHW Bush once referred to 1,000 points of light. Well, friends, we need to be point of light for the Iraqi children. I strongly suggest every day that you read Iraq Daily War Grief. Today it's on day 292. I'll warn you ahead of time this is graphic stuff. This is the war the networks aren't televising. This is real life, not Hollywood special effects. It's available at DailyKos, Booman Tribune, European Tribune, and My Left Wing.

This is the war your sons and daughters and husbands and wives and partners are fighting. This is the face of the war you need to remember when you are judging the Powers-That-Be that lied to get us into their war. he faces of those children, could soon be our children if we don't find our way out of "Bush's Folly" as I like to call it.

When Iraqis and the rest of the world see these pictures, especially the ones of of children with the blood of their parents splattered on them, the pictures of Abu Graib -- it gives them a reason to despise the US. Don't anyone give me any crap about "these pictures are only one side of a story". There's always more that one side. What you need to ask is why pictures like these aren't in the media. Remember Viet Nam. I remember vomiting more than once on seeing photographs and footage from that war. That's one of the reason people became so outraged and we finally got out. Get outraged!

Since the Republicans are in their own little bubble, fellow Democrats, it's left to us. Tell the truth, present the evidence. Let's not screw it up.

2006, then 2008. Start now and change the future.
