The Warrior in the White House and U.S. Casualties
Deaf, blind, arrogant, hypocrite. All the adjectives fit President Bush -- the man who thought that AG Alberto Gonzales did a great job during his appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee. And our soldiers are dying and suffering injuries for this man! Baffling. Why do the military families remain mute ? Of course, there are families that believe in the president's war and feel that their loved ones died in a just cause. It is not known whether they constitute the majority. The ones who have had enough of the lies and utter disregard of facts in Iraq need to speak out and send a message to the president. He is likely to tune them out as he does all critics, but it would strengthen the efforts of those who are trying to bring an end to the mess. There is nothing shameful about admitting a mistake.
Troop Surge, Death Toll Surge
86 soldiers, including nine from the 82nd Airbone Division,Fort Bragg,NC,have lost their lives in this cruel month of April.

Pat Tillman, Jessica Lynch - Pentagon's Lies Exposed
Washington Post
"An Army Ranger who was with Pat Tillman when the former football star was cut down by friendly fire in Afghanistan said Tuesday a commanding officer had ordered him to keep quiet about what happened."
"Jessica Lynch, the US army private who became the heroic American face of the Iraq war when her convoy was ambushed soon after the invasion, lambasted the Bush Administration yesterday for lying about the incident.
She was testifying to Congress, along with the brother of Pat Tillman, the US Army Ranger who gave up a lucrative career as an American football star only to be killed by his own platoon in Afghanistan, and the two decried the Pentagon’s “deceit” in turning their disastrous experiences into false tales of heroism. "
