To all the Yellow Ribbon Bush Supporters...
When i see people who have both "support our troops" and W. stickers side by side on the bumpers of their SUV's, I want to walk up to their car, rip them both off and say, "MAKE A CHOICE. You can only have one or the other. You cannot have both."
No, I'm not talking about sending our kids into an unjustified war that has almost nothing to do with the war on terror and officially 0% with 9/11...nor am I talking about Bush/Cheney having never attended a troop's funeral...or the backdoor draft they've set up where I troops cannot get out once they're in...or the lack of an exit strategy, or dismissing every ranking member of the armed forces who said this war needed more troops, the war would be hell, or shouldn't be fought without an exit strategy...nor am I referring to Bush's closing of various VA hospitals during wartime, or the Pentagon using soldiers as poster-children, even after they have died, to promote their war...I'm also not referring to the private companies in charge of and profiting from this war like Haliburton overbilling the Pentagon, and giving them contaminated water..and I'm not talking about the fact that this war has crippled the recruiting effort for our armed forces...
I've just read this post over at YellowDogBlog, a veteran himself, and have been both angered and justified in my hatred for this president and many who support him.

Here's a snippet:
The New York Times reported yesterday on a secret Pentagon study concluding that a large number of Marines killed in Iraq – perhaps up to 80 percent of those who died of upper-body injuries – would have survived had they been properly equipped for battle.
It's bad enough to take our brave men and women in uniform and put them in combat in a country that posed no threat to our land, sovereignty or people. To do it and have them fighting daily in an urban, guerrilla war, while not coming through with the best life-saving protection money can buy, is criminal.

I just came home from the Out of Iraq demonstration and wish I could have broadcast your post there.
Mary -
I went to your site and read about the demonstration. I'm at work, so I have to scan rather quickly and must have missed it - but where was the protest held?
I remember right after the war started one of the Right-wingers I work with said something to the effect of, "I think it's horrible they're still protesting...the war has started, its time for everyone to get behind it."
What a typical Right wing stance, proving that these people are the last the ever exercise any Democracy, free thinking or individuality.
It also highlights how unaware they are that getting our kids out of harm’s way when it’s unjustified may be the most support we can give them. Call me nuts, but that is more beneficial than buying a yellow ribbon at 7-11 made in China.
you guys should make out...oh wait i mean we shoud make out!
