Sad Sunday

[CMT]

Wont get too political or Religious or even badmouth those responsible but just wanna say as a American it saddens me to think of what the POW's are going through and to think of those fighting for us that were disrespected after there deaths just my view.....

Especially,when one considers they were executed,single bullet hole in the head,leads me to this conclusion.
They were mechanics,that ended up lost,ambushed and captured.
It tends to harden me a bit,anger says get even,logic says press forward and end this thing.
The weapons that Sadam said he doesn't have,have been found.
We look for a pristine war,no casulties,no civilian loss,but war is messy,it's about killing and conquering.
Protesting is fine,we hear how diplomatic means should have been used,given time all would be well,B.S.
This was the belief with Hitler,appease him,talk peace and all will be well,think some would learn by now.
Sadam is an evil person,who has murdered 1,000's of people.
His idea of a good time is to drop people down giant plastic shredding devices,feet first,much slower and painful.
Here's a man that after the Iran-Iraq war,asked his cabinet,if he should step down to speed up the peace process,his cabinet said NO,he asked them to talk truthfully,one man stood up,a long time friend of his and said perhaps it would benifit the negotiations if he stepped aside temporarily,Sadam thanked him for his honesty.
That afternoon,he didn't return home,his wife learned he had been arrested,she went to Sadam and begged for her husbands release.
Sadam assured her it was a terrible mistake and that he would be sent home shortly.
Early that evening,her door bell rang,when she opened the door,4 garbage bags were sitting there,they contained her husband.
Let us say we are negotiating nowin a way Sadam may understand.
His crimes are numerous, his slaughter of his own people is well documented,this latest violation is now documented,those guilty,will face war crimes trials,of course we will here the protestors shouting for their release.

The maintenance crew from Ft Bliss that was captured and shown on TV are from the same base my son is stationed at. He has a 50/50 chance of returning to the theater. And what in the world is a woman doing in the heat of battle, dammit!
