Capitol Hill Blue Forums Political Issues Iraq & Afghanistan Run out the Clock

Line 'em up. Let the President who when faced with the possibility of stepping up and being a man got his daddy to help him weenie out of serving his country in the manner of being up close and personal, where the real deal separates the mouthy and s*** hearted from the men who walk the talk; let him line 'em up and tell them they are going to die. Let the Vice President, who was so very truly self-serving that he got 7, SEVEN, draft deferments because he "had other priorities"; let him line 'em up and tell them, face to face, "you are going to die". Let the this chickenshit, bullshit, nutless Congress line them up and tell them. Let the "Christians" who love Jesus but want to use dead GIs as leverage, let them line up the troops and tell them that their children, fathers, grandfathers, sons, daughters, husbands and wives are going to die so that the war we have already f*cking lost, the war the Administration lied us into, will eventually play itself out. Line 'em up and look them in the eyes, and tell their loved ones YOU can accept their suffering and their deaths.

Tell the parents BEFORE it happens, tell them face to face, tell the families, tell their children, tell the loved ones that YOU, the President who couldn't face the commitment, that YOU and the VP who pissed on being an American, that YOU, lover of Jesus, are willing to have their son have their penis and balls and a leg cut off in surgery; that YOU are willing to have their father come home blind; that YOU are willing to have their daughter return home without the ability of ever having children or being able to walk; that YOU are willing to have their child return home deaf and blind; that YOU are willing to have their husband return home a psychological basket-case so that the war war can wind down on its own and play out.

YOU TELL THEM YOURSELF THAT YOU CAN LIVE WITH THAT HAPPENING TO THEIR FATHER OR MOTHER, OR SON OR DAUGHTER, OR HUSBAND OR WIFE. YOU TELL THEM THAT FACE TO FACE, EACH ONE!!!

YOU go to Iraq and Afghanistan on the terms that the troops face it - no entourage, no safe tour of secured areas, no cleared camera op - and YOU tell them that tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow and on and on that they are going to have wake up once again and again and again and again and again, knowing the terror of being in the s***, and do once more. Tell them YOU faced it, tell them YOU'VE sucked it up everyday and walked back into hell untold, and gutted it out day after, day after day after day. Tell them you've seen the elephant, you know first hand what it is like facing the terror alone (because in the real world you do face it alone) and tell them YOU would give up YOUR own life so that they would not have to face the monster one day more and put YOURSELF out there so that they would not have to do it again and again and again and again. YOU tell them that. Live with them for 24 hours exactly as they live and tell them YOU want them to gear up and move out and get maimed and die. What man or woman is worth that? Give me their names and tell me YOU have told their loved ones that YOU support their pain and suffering and sometimes their death. Which Americans are worth that? Tell me their names and tell me how it is YOU, along with President George Bush, who went AWOL during Vietnam and how VP Dick Cheney who f*cking weenied and whinned out 7 times! have decided that they and YOU can live with it.

Which people are YOU willing to suffer for a lifetime and which people are YOU willing to die to buy time for Bush's war? Which ones? Give me their names and tell me YOU are willing to tell the people they love that YOU can live with their sacrifice.

Tell me that's what Jesus would do.
