Amen.

WHERE'S MY BARF BUCKET?????


"In the New Year, we will remain on the offensive against the enemies of freedom, advance the security of our country, and work toward a free and unified Iraq," he said. "Defeating terrorists and extremists is the challenge of our time, and we will answer history's call with confidence and fight for liberty without wavering."

"In an interview on Dec. 21 with The Associated Press, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the war was "worth the investment" in American lives and dollars. "

10!

as that toll approaches the twin towers number of deaths, will that mean we will have to redouble our efforts to avenge twice as many lost to terrorists ? Where does geometric/exponential 'attribution' end ?

Sadly true, Sean-Paul.

It's a ten.

It is my great and fervant hope that during the next year Bush will be so personally humiliated and revealed for the corruption of his character that the whole fabric of conservatisim which he represents will shred to dust. That instead of being the hearld of "permanent" conservatisim he is the movement's Grim Reaper. I hope his tenure becomes a history and government lesson demonstrating the danger of ideolouges in government and that Americans will spur his kind for many centuries.

What a pathetic misguided man. Who knew his Daddy was the brains of the family?

Well-written, Sean Paul. How many more will die in this misguided police action before it is over? How does GWB sleep at night, knowing he has the blood of over 3000 American souls on his hands?

And the war is over? If the war is over, what are our service people still doing over there dying???? Maybe send his daughters over there...I am sure there would be an immediate withdrawl of troops.

Young George says "Osama Bin Who? I'm too busy awarding contracts to Chaneyburton. HaHa Daddy, I hung that guy you told me to. Now he can't tell our family secrets. Did I do good Daddy? Uncle Dick says he needs me to bomb another country because he's fully staffed with illegal immigrants and ready to screw the middle class. He uses too many big words for me to understand daddy but you told me to just do whatever uncle Dick says."

How about a New Year's resolution to really support our troops and BRING THEM HOME!

True, all too true. And the mind shudders at what further damage this foolish child of a man has done to our country's standing in the world.

He has succeeded in turning most of the Middle East as well as most of the world's muslims against us.

He has fostered anti-Americanism throughout the modern and third worlds.

He has destroyed our credibility as a superpower and, with the complicity of the Israeli rightwing, endangered Israel's existence and weakened our diplomatic position in the Arab capitols.

He has squandered the good will of the world after 9/11 and allowed undue prominence to accrue to the likes of Putin's Russia and China who now hold all the cards in the UN.

He has practically bankupted our government ang handed the mortgage to the Chinese.

He has acted as the aggressor to Iran, rallied the oppressed Iranian people to their leadership, and actually strengthened the position of the ruling Shiite clergy.

He has ignored the true war on terrorism and depleted our limited manpower and resources in chasing phantoms in Iraq.

He has made us a laughingstock in the world.

With guardians like Bush America doesn't need enemies.

Sean- -we lost twice that in one day at D-Day.

Was it worth it? Or is there something wrong with your measure?

Yeah?

Jay, D-Day was the start of a campaign with a strategic goal: the unconditional surrender of Germany. Don't insult my intelligence by drawing a comparison to WWII and Iraq. They are not comparable, no matter how much you want this to be a gigantoric uber-cosmic WW IX or whichever number you are up to fight between the forces of light and dark. It's not. It never was. Al Qaeda was a thread. But as the president said, there were no links between Iraq and al Qaeda before 9-11.

The war was a mistake from the start. More than 65% of the American public now realizes it. Accept it. Deal with it.

There IS a whole bunch of Wisdom contained in the bulk of these comments ! (the one Bush Lover put aside)

How sad such blind, narrow, and uninformed analysis can exisit in a Country where a free press exsits.

If the commentators sound enraged and bitter if might be because all of this grim unfolding was foretold fairly accurately by academics, diplomats, foreign service workers who had real knowledge and expericence in this region.
Even our European allies correctly suggested that problems in Iraq were better contained by the UN-sponsored fly-over surveillance than they would be by invasion.

For their troubles, they were ridiculed, reviled, and called traitors.

Bush, even now, does not seem to recognize the havoc he has wreaked.

Even if you are a right wing Republican...it has to be impossible to agree with George Bush! That just shows how ignorant right wing Republicans are! Any president who uses words like "I'm the decider" needs to be removed from power immediately! My 15 year old son speaks with more intelligence than Bush! I hope the real truth about how the Bush admistration fabricated the reasons for the war comes out publicly in the next year! These lies are much worse than anything Nixon's cronnies ever did, and he would have been impeached. It's time for the American public to take back Washington, and let these idiots know that they are supposed to be our humble public servants, not our tyranical leaders! We must also insist on a balanced budget! I don't spend more than I make every year! And the next mega-super power (China) holds all our contries loans...I can hardly wait for them to foreclose on them!

Yes, it is horrible. Beyond belief horrible.It shall continue awhile longer, too, I fear.

The fact that 65 percent of Americans NOW consider the war to have been a mistake. What about those among us who KNEW it was a mistake BEFORE March, 2003?

The anti-war effort is TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE.

Wake up everybody and get moving !

SPK, this would be perfect for my group The Renewed Activist.

I started the group last year basically to motivate people toward anti-war efforts.

My feelings exactly, Kathryn E-O !

Several hundred thousand people marched in New York in 2003, protesting the stupitity of this action, and chanting "Not in My Name" - not wanting the terror of September 11 to be manipulated as a cause for this arrogant action.

For our efforts, we were scolded by Dick Cheyney and sneeringly derided by Faux News and much of the mainstream press.

There is still a lot of left wing anger at the New York Times for rolling over and giving the Bushies a pass on the fraudulent war build-up.

I think the NYTs is only liberal in comparison, that by design to keep the avowed Liberals on board amenable to being dis-informed in their sly and subtle way ... there is no major media of any kind that this not owned and controlled behind the scenes by the very same interests that promote that which they do to further their hidden power and control. Just a differing editorial policy ... liberal only to the degree it serves their greater interests.

Unfortunately but predictably, I didn't see that much coverage of protests on American television. The milestone you cite is a grim one, indeed.
