2000 Is The Loneliest Number

A milestone that will be un-celebrated has been reached. The 2000th member of the US military has lost his life in King George's folly of war and occupation. Staff Sgt. George Alexander Jr., 34, of Killeen, Texas, died at Brooke Army Medical Center in Texas on Saturday of injuries sustained October 17 in Samarra, Iraq, when a bomb planted by insurgents detonated near his Bradley Fighting Vehicle. 2000 How many more must die before this mad man in the White House is held responsible. His response to this milestone was to say that he would continue more of the same. And shortly after giving a photo-op speech where he said "Each loss of life is heartbreaking, and the best way to honor the sacrifice of our fallen troops is to complete the mission and lay the foundation of peace by spreading freedom." what did dear leader do? Why he was wisked away for a $15,000-a-couple dinner that the Republican National Committee reported raised at least $1 million. That's right, rather than show true caring for the men and women dying daily he went to worship at the alter of his true god - the almighty dollar. Then to pour salt into the festering wound, we have Army Lt. Col. Steven Boylan, a U.S. military spokesman in Baghdad, saying the 2000th death was "not a milestone.". Tell that to George Alexander's family you asshole. Tell that to the 1,999 other families who are without a loved one today so you can play your real life war games. He went even further, encouraging newspapers in an email to downplay the story saying "The 2,000 service members killed in Iraq supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom is not a milestone. It is an artificial mark on the wall set by individuals or groups with specific agendas and ulterior motives." This shows us all quite clearly that the Pentagon, and the President himself don't care one whit about the men and women doing their bidding overseas. They lied the country into this war, and they lie to the families of the fallen when they express their phony condolences in highly featured photo-ops. SHAME.....SHAME.....SHAME
