Well all is backslapping and smiles as the Saddam monster (of US creation) is corralled. Looks like he’s been hit with a good course of benzodiazphines already, lest he begin to jabber about his old friends in the CIA and White House betraying him.
Well all is backslapping and smiles as the Saddam monster (of US creation) is corralled. Looks like he’s been hit with a good course of benzodiazphines already, lest he begin to jabber about his old friends in the CIA and White House betraying him. Old news anyway, just ask Manual Noriega.
But the partying will not last very long. Attacks on our troops continue apace. Count on it. The understanding that their lands and riches are stolen will not escape the 25 million people of this occupied country. Every child in this cradle of civilization can now breath depleted uranium poison. How did that old commercial go: “When you’ve got your health, you’ve got just about everything?” Most people of Iraq know full well what they’ve got.
In the states the neocons continue to plunder the national treasury. If bankruptcy is their goal, they have made a good start. During a press conference the commander in thief reveals himself to be a staggeringly dimwitted fascist, even for a US president. Worry that his advisors are not so dim but just as demonic.
So let’s continue the work of becoming the media. Let’s join with the growing multitudes the world over who realize what time it is and understand the necessity to resist. We have a world to gain and only further disaster to avoid. One of the best sources of information these days is the website: www.BringThemHomeNow.org Please share it and the letter below form a U.S. soldier in Iraq. jamie

Spec-4 Marshall L. Edgerton was 27years old. He was from Rocky Face, Georgia. He was assigned to [deleted], 82nd Airborne Division. We are based in Fort Bragg, N.C. Marshall was killed December 11th when he was escorting a delivery truck into the 82nd Headquarters in Ramadi, Iraq. The news told you that a furniture truck blew up outside the compound, and that our excellent defenses prevented a lot more people from being killed. That's a load of sh*t. The truck blew up inside the compound, and the reason only 15 people were hurt and one American killed is plain luck. They make us get on every vehicle that enters the compound, and plenty of vehicles come. It's like playing Russian roulette.
We understand water trucks and gasoline trucks. We need that stuff, even though there are still plenty of ways they could detonate one of those too. Let me tell you what was being delivered though, and what Marshall Edgerton died for. A general is decorating his office here. It's a nice office, a luxury office you might say. And it needed a carpet to go with all the new furniture. Now while the grunts and we [deleted] can get along with field tables and folding chairs, of course the general has to trick out his office like he's a Roman caesar or something. So these furniture trucks come onto our compound when we already know that a lot of people out there want to kill us. This truck was loaded with carpet.
Marshall came to Iraq to die for a general's carpet. Marshall's family will grieve so a general could have carpet. What we really need here are big trucks that can haul away all the bullshit. And a few to get our asses back to an airport.
Don't give my name or email address. The truth can get you in a lot of trouble here.
