While Rumsfeld was callously comparing the deaths of our soldiers to the number of people killed in traffic accident, a mother went ballistic that her son should be considered by the Bush administration as a mere statistic. Her son shed his blood for America, and what thanks does he get? He gets to be nothing more than a statistic in the Bush propaganda machine.
President Bush had better start listening to the mothers, fathers, and even the soldiers, who now realize that this war is immoral. This is not about numbers, Mr. President. Its about doing the right thing for a change. If you really supported the troops, you would not have EVER sent them into harms way in such a flippant manner. Shame on you. And shame on the Democrats too for not having the cajonas to prevent it, but to put the pettiness of keeping their jobs ahead of their country. I am sorry, but I must say it. While the Republican party promoted this shameful act, the Democratic leaders showed all America the gutless worms they really are. Sorry if this sounds harsh, but too many of our soldiers are unnecessarily standing at their final roll call, and it is the fault of our own petty leaders, both Republican and Democratic, who sent them there.
