At this point its no big secret that I am less than thrilled with our president and pretty well over the war in Iraq. While I understand that there were valid reasons beyond the WMD myth to go into Iraq I am irritated at the arrogance of the Bush Administration to think that the American public wouldn't accept these reasons. Lying is soooo much better.
I am also a former Navy wife. My husband was in the Navy until 2002 and fortunately was allowed to leave military service with an Honorable Discharge when his contract expired. However, I still have friends and family who are enlisted in various branches of the military and I still know people who are currently in Iraq. I worry for them every second of every day. Every American should worry for every service member every second of every day.
I am ashamed that the American media thinks whoever Jennifer Aniston is dating at the moment is more important than what is going on in Iraq. What the fuck?
So I say screw the Bush Administration, who is THRILLED with J.A.'s love life, and screw the American media. Until this war is over I am going to keep a tally of the American lives lost in this sham of a war.
Yes, I understand everyone over there volunteered to join military service and I respect that. My intentions are not to criticize these men and women in any way, shape or form. I am intimately aware of the risks they take and the sacrifices they and their families make every day. I can not describe how grateful I am to each and every one of them. I am devastated at the loss of their lives and would like to honor these brave mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, sons and daughters, our friends and colleagues.
As of today, November 2nd, 2005, 2031 members of the American military have been killed in this war.
It is also worth noting that as October 26, 1053 people have been confirmed dead as a result of Hurricane Katrina.
Thanks, W.
Tell me, how many cluster fucks can one administration get away with?
