I'm angry at the Al Qaeda terrorists that killed him, but I'm more angry that Kristian was even in Iraq.
I don't expect shit from terrorists, but I expect competence, security, and the goddamn TRUTH from my government!!
I'm angry as hell that almost FIVE years after 9/11, George Bush has yet to find Bin Laden.
I'm angry that Bush not only failed to defeat Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, but he has allowed Al Qaeda & the Taliban to regroup & stealthily regain power.
I am angry that Bush has in fact helped Al Qaeda increase its influence & prominence while getting our military & intelligence stuck in Iraq.
I am angry that Bush lied & told us Al Qaeda was in Iraq and then allowed Al Qaeda to come in there!
And I'm angry as hell that Bush & his neocons use the deaths of our soldiers to silence any criticism of [updated:] the war, the men and women who misled us to war, the incompetent handling of the war, and to begin an honest dialogue between Americans regarding what we want America to become. (sorry - I missed this due to, well, rage.)
Stop hiding behind our soldiers, you chickenhawk piece of shits! If you believe in it so damn much, you shouldn't be afraid of people asking questions!!
Let's have an open debate about the war!
My sympathies go out to the Menchaca & Tucker families. I don't know if we have the same political leaning, but we're all Americans & in this we all have the same goal: To bring justice to the killers of these two young men.
But that justice will not be complete if the people responsible for sending these men in harm's way are not held accountable also for their irresponsibility and blind zeal.
