POPSWHILE THEY ENJOY THEIR VACATION, IRAQ'S SADNESS GOES ON AND ON!
Lately, I don't agree with CNN's outspoken Lou Dobbs on many issues, but I certainly support his lament two days ago: "The idea that our president, this Congress take time off when we have men and women dying in Iraq, Afghanistan ... there's something at best unseemly about it.. "With all the issues, serious issues confronting the country, they should be hard at work." ____________________ (Photo taken on August 16, 2007: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images) Army bugler plays Taps during US Army Specialist Christopher Todd Neiberger's funeral at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. Assigned to the 1st Infantry Division, 1st battalion, 18th infantry regiment, 2nd brigade combat team, Neiberger, 22, was killed by a roadside bomb August 6 in Baghdad, Iraq.

POPShaji haji haji A GLIMPSE INTO HELL! What if you spoke regularly of "haji food," "haji music" and "haji homes"? HAJI: (MEANING) One who has made a pilgrimage to Mecca. An article has been written about the macabre, psychotic perspective the people of Iraq and our soldiers are witnessing as the war goes on and on. The whitewashing by the mainstream media makes one believe IT'S NOT SO BAD AS WAR GOES... But as war goes, it is a horrendous nightmare never to be forgotten. I hope Bush and his Neocon cronies will read this report but I know they WILL NOT! Better to delude oneself when a gargantuan mistake such as this war is made. I am sure they, the culprits who created this hellhole must be using all means possible such as, deluding, deceiving and bamboozling themselves (they can no longer do that to us) to save their sanity. Unfortunately our guys on the Iraqi soil and those who were born there have no such means.

POPSA tangled web we weave, when practice to deceive! How sad is this... Our mainstream news would probably spin this like a benevolent story of HELP for the families who are struggling to become American citizens in this wonderful land of opportunity and advantages for the few. But the truth of the matter is... THEY NEED MORE BOOTS TO CONTINUE THIS OUTRAGEOUS WAR IN THE HOPE TO SAVE FACE!! It's hard to believe, all the efforts to continue sending troops to Iraq are only to help this president's place in history because of a war that never should have been waged. A war of lies, no matter the spin, it seems this is the only truth. "Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive!" - Sir Walter Scott Once again, how sad. thinkingblue.blogspot.com

POPSSUNDAY MORNING TEARS. I listened to this npr radio broadcast of 3 mothers who had lost sons in Iraq. As a mother myself, my empathy for these women and their loss was intense... I read and hear of the numbers dead each day but the impact is minimal, a quick tear and a feeling of helplessness is scarcely the grip I get when something is so redundant. Until you hear from the actual true sufferers of this war, THE MOTHERS, THE FAMILIES, you can't imagine the cost these people actualize. Please listen to their stories of pain. Especially, Elaine Johnson, one brave mother who dared to call Bush on his lack of knowledge and sensitivity about waging this disgusting collide with reality. Be prepared to undergo the painful tears of sorrow and grief in identification to those unfortunates caught up in a game of chess by the neoconservative think-tanker's who have only power and approval to lose.

POPSCINDY SHEEHAN, MAY BE ONLY TAKING A BREAK! This article from Politico.com suggests, Cindy is only taking a break... Good grief she earned it. I hope the word really is just "A BREAK" and not "RETIRED". WE NEED YOU CINDY, YOU ARE ONE OF US... Your burden is so much deeper than most who are not directly affected by this unjust war. You are a Mother who has suffered the ultimate blow of losing your child to an ideological dream of the idle rich to conquer the world. It's all material to them but for you it's an puncture left in your wellbeing, never to heal. WE NEED YOU CINDY. You are one of those who can truly symbolize the nasty business of war. WE NEED YOU CINDY, THE WORLD NEEDS YOU. Let's hope the day will come when we can finally come out of this nightmare Bush/Neocons have thrust us into and reignite the passions of a genuinely FREE society. Until that day Cindy Sheehan, WE NEED YOU!

POPSAnother voice of truth has been silenced. There was more sadness experienced this Memorial Day 2007. Besides all the tears shed, remembering those who died in wars and those who have died in this unnecessary Iraq war. Cindy Sheehan, has resigned from the Anti-War Movement. I hope her voice of courage and hope will not be silenced for too long. Cindy, we need you. thinkingblue.blogspot.com

They tout in unison that their war is good and call those who fight, brave soldiers. Yet, they treat them like children when their illusionary "WAR IS GOOD" image is jeopardized. "HEY KIDS, NO MORE COMPUTER TIME FOR YOU BECAUSE SOMEONE MAY SEE YOUR CREATIONS AFTER YOU'RE DEAD AND THINK YOUR DEATH IS SAD! THAT IS NOT THE MESSAGE WE WISH TO SEND!"
