- truthmatters, on 04/20/2008, -0/+6I just watched the movie "Stop-Loss" last night and gained a new perspective on why there are so many returning soldiers suffering from PTSD. These soldiers are being stressed beyond their psychological limits fighting our "war on terror." I was sadly aware of the near empty movie theater on a Saturday night, and felt it spoke of the apathy surrounding this war. We as citizens need to demand the impeachment of Bush/Cheney for this illegal war and many other violations, and elect a president who will support our troops by getting them out of harms way and bringing them home.

- cageybee, on 04/20/2008, -1/+4Afghanistan bankrupted the Soviet Union. how could someone think that invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq would not do the same to US? i doubt that Bush is that delusional. The threat must have been lethal for an American empire that prompted an invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq. I don't think Al Qaeda was that big of a threat, do you? do you believe that 19 "terrorists" could hijack 4 planes on a same day and hit 3 out of 4 targets? it had to be a concentrated work of some sort of government covert agency. could US outsource the "terror" act to a foreign covert action agency like Mossad to create a diplomatic cover "war on terror" to hide the real reasons for invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq? Very possible! You just have to know what the real threat was and still is and know how much of a damage it can cause to understand that 9/11 could easily be created by our own government to protect BIGGER interests of US that relate to US national security.
The threat was and still is a concentrated attack on US oil monopoly and on US dollar. After KGB came back to power in 1999 (Putin forcing Yeltsin to resign and pass the power to him), US already knew back then that Russia is about to take a different course than the one US had Yeltsin take. Look at what's happening to the Russian economy and its financial power. Read Z. Brzezinski's book called "The Grand Chessboard."

- OgniAsuob, on 04/21/2008, -0/+2Americans: Do you really think that, as a person, you can go abroad, kill people & watch people getting killed and tortured in the most horrible ways all day long ..and then come home to friends and family, stroke the dog and then go to bed with a smile on your face??? Everybody in Irak [not just soldiers], surrounded by extreme violence all the time, is ***** FOR LIFE. While Bush & all the other wankers stroke the dog & go to bed with a smile on their face. Because they do the work of GOD. And get richer and richer each day while giving no ***** about "The Soldier". Because doing the work of god obviously means to sacrifice others while sitting at home with the feet up, counting the cash.
WAKE UP! - AvangionQ, on 04/21/2008, -0/+2How many more of our brave military men and women have to come home as walking wounded before we declare a stalemate in Iraq and bring out troops home ...
