Wall Street Gets Rich, Iraqis and GIs Die
by Buck
Where’s the outcry? Where’s the horror that almost 4,000 Americans have died in a foreign country that we invaded? I’m almost as angry at the American people as I am the president. I think Americans have become apathetic and placid about the whole thing.

Where’s the outcry, indeed! I’ll tell you. Those who rely solely on the MSM for their news, (which I daresay are still in the majority), are spoon fed a view of the war that is less horrible, less hideous, less everything… except less needed. On the contrary, the MSM are only too glad to pen the Bush administration’s twisted point of view on just how important and needed this damn war is. Basically, it’s a watered-down, sugar coated version with just a hint of cinnamon, for good measure.

That’s only part of the problem, of course. The sad truth is, we Americans really are fat and lazy! We’ve been told that by peoples of other nations for quite some time now. It appears they were right.

Osama hinted that bringing down those buildings on 9/11 would only be the beginning of our destruction. You can call him lots of things, but ‘dumb’ is not one of them.

Thousands Rally Against Iraq War In S.F.

SAN FRANCISCO — Thousands of people called for a swift end to the war in Iraq as they marched through downtown on Saturday, chanting and carrying signs that read: “Wall Street Gets Rich, Iraqis and GIs Die” or “Drop Tuition Not Bombs.”

The streets were filled with thousands as labor union members, anti-war activists, clergy and others rallied near City Hall before marching to Dolores Park.

As part of the demonstration, protesters fell on Market Street as part of a “die in” to commemorate the thousands of American soldiers and Iraqi citizens who have died since the conflict began in March 2003.

The protest was the largest in a series of war protests taking place in New York, Los Angeles and other U.S. cities, organizers said.
