Bush War Lies #19

Today, I'd like you to take a moment from your routine and do something nobody in the Bush administration has ever done.

No, I don't mean "serve honourably in the military." Oh you wags! :)

No, I suggest you read an actual letter from an actual GI who is attempting to stay alive over in Iraq. For once, get your news and form your opinions on the situation over their not from partisans and operatives and toadies, but from real people who have really put their lives on the line over there. A typical excerpt:

They have frozen all redeployments, so no one is going anywhere anytime soon, and our Congress goes on vacation July 25 so nothing is going to happen until mid fall. Not what we all want to hear out here. We are under siege out here, without supplies, without a mission and we can only roll the dice so many times and not get our (expletive) shot. More and more body bags and amputees will be coming home.

Food for thought.
