Easter Misgivings

remember when george w. bush stood on an aircraft carrier in a flight suit under a banner proclaiming, "Mission Accomplished"? 

well, independant reports now have the death toll of U.S. armed forces at over 4,000. that’s 4,000 young men and women who have lost their lives since bush declared victory. most of them were between the ages of 18-25. i don’t know what mission it is he thinks he accomplished, but i’d be willing to bet a significant portion of those 4,000 dead kids would beg to differ. this of course doesn’t even take into account the thousands upon thousands of soldiers who haven’t died, but were lucky enough to only loose a limb or two. it doesn’t include the young men and women who somehow survived after half of their faces were blown off. that nice round 4,000 number only counts those who are dead. 

the thought of that guy standing so smug on that ship makes me want to fucking puke. 

happy easter.
