Remember this?

Six years ago today, U.S. military action against Iraq began. Since then over 4,000 Americans soldiers and marines have died, some 31,000 have been wounded, and countless Iraqi civilians have been hurt or lost their lives. For or against this war, these fatal statistics are not debateable. For a full list of U.S. military victims for whom we all owe our respect, visit AntiWar.com.



(For those of you with cast iron stomachs and nonexistent gag-reflexes, if you really want to see the kind of devastating shit that happens to people in war zones, click here. WARNING: These are real photographs of dismembered and mutilated bodies and corpses. I found the site by mistake looking for the type of chart/list that's posted above. I only scanned a few images before having to turn my head and close the window. It's gruesome, and something any motherfucker with the authority to declare war should be forced to look at before deciding to immerse his country into a conflict in which it might be ill-prepared.

You know, on this sixth anniversary of America's most recent imperialistic military foray, and given Cheney's recent media rounds and criticizing of Obama, there's only one thing to say to the Bush administration and all the policticians and officials that supported the invasion of Iraq: FUCK YOU.)
