Oh, my bad, lets go back to talking about how George Bush is satan and question how our proud men and woman must be feeling in wheelchairs.
Did you see 60 minutes tonight? Where were all those appreciative citizens? Seems to me they want us to go home like yesterday.

let's not forget the giant welfare system is also giving out money to war profiteers, military, war contractors, war equipment suppliers, and all the other handout jobs that depend on a useless war.

Who wrote those statements for them? Looks like good propaganda but still doesn't answer my question when reporters were just walking the streets and talking to people impromptu on 60 minutes.

You wouldn't be so smiling to be among those people.
And that hand writing so perfect, considering they don't use the Latin alphabet.

Right, I would much rather live in a place where I had no vote in who runs my country, and a place where I'd be killed if I weren't to be part of an evil regime. Right on!!!

For example, are you paying less for gas, do you have more savings and investment money, residual income, educational savings for your children, etc. Since you are the ones who support the war, please tell the rest of America, how "winning" has made YOUR LIFE BETTER.
Your life isn't over yet, is it?

This is absolutely unbelieveable. A very simple question was asked about the improvement of the quality of your life since the war, and you come back with talking about how good life has become for the Iraqi citizens. Geesh.
