Article from Yahoo just now

"Veterans' burials nonstop at cemeteries"

Think about that the entire Memorial Day weekend.

And for any- and everyone who voted for George W. Bush once or twice, and/or supported this goofy-assed idea of a war, you're welcome to accept the responsibility for it, too.

"The scene at the Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery is repeated nationwide more than 100 times a day. Military veterans are being buried at such a rapid rate that national cemeteries use heavy equipment to make room."

Think about it.

More importantly this weekend, let's all think about what we can do to support our troops and get out of Iraq and this war.

You can see the entire article at:

I see where the "Current Occupant", in his weekly radio address, asked all Americans to "keep Vets in mind" this Memorial Day weekend.

That's rich.

The way his administration took them into this war so more than 4,000 could die and so the others, who are wounded, could be neglected and/or mistreated by his own Veteran's Administration? US keep the Vets in mind?

How about "W" keeping them in mind?

How about "W" getting them out of his hair-brained, illegal, groundless, baseless war?

Now THAT would be keeping the Vets in mind.

We all owe it to ourselves--and the Vets--to read this article. Sure the Vets dying are, for the most part, from previous wars but it's the ones in harms way now to whom we owe thought and commitment.

For some background and information, go to the following link to read the 10 reasons by there is a group Iraq Veterans Against the War (see links on the right of this page): http://ivaw.org/faq.

There should be no better source for information and reasons why we should get out of Iraq than taking it from the very soldiers who have fought or are fighting this absurd, ugly war.
