The Bill Rodgers said:On Loyalty An Open Letter to US Troops in Afghanistan and Iraq By STAN
GOFF
I was a soldier for most of the time between 1970 and 1996. I signed
out on my retirement from 3rd Special Forces in Ft. Bragg. I had also
served in 7th Special Forces, on three Ranger assignments, with Delta
for almost four years, as a Cavalry Scout for a while, and in the 82nd
Airborne Division as an infantryman. I started my career in Vietnam
with the 173rd Airborne Brigade.
I thugged around in eight different places in East Asia, Latin
America, and Africa, where I pointed guns at people. Like you, I was
an instrument of American foreign policies policies controlled, then
as now, by the rich.
Quoted message said:But that brain-dead piece of [censored] in the White House who is legally
your boss, and all his handlers, starting with Vice President [censored]
"Halliburton" Cheney they sent you to do this thing anyway.
It's good to see a solider with real courage and integrity
telling it like it is.
Quoted message said:"You get out there and ransack people's houses in the middle of the
night, and make their babies cry together, as buddies."
"You get out there and set up a road block without Arabic signs or
interpreters and get put into that situation where you are tense and
don't know, and you shoot up that car and kill parents in front of
their children, and you have to live with that for the rest of your
lives together, because you are loyal buddies."
"You get out there and lose life, limb, or eyesight face mental and
physical ailments for the rest of your lives together, as an act of
loyalty to your buddies."
The way these draft dodging cowards and war criminals use and
abuse the members of our military for personal gain is definitely
shameful, despicable, and treasonous.
Quoted message said:Here's how you can exercise a deeper loyalty to the troops there now,
and to all those who will continue to go as long as this obscenity
continues:
Do everything you can to stop the war.
Indeed. Signing this petition is one small way we can
all support them in their struggle against the war
crimes and treason of the bu$h regime.

In September and October 2003, McClellan said he had spoken
directly with Rove about the matter and that "he was not
involved" in leaking Plame's identity to the news media.
McClellan said at the time: "The president knows that Karl
Rove wasn't involved," "It was a ridiculous suggestion"
and "It's not true."
Yet another in the endless stirng of bu$h's lies.
"We argued, as did the security services in this country,
that the attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq would increase the
threat of terrorist attack in Britain. Tragically Londoners
have now paid the price of the Government ignoring such
warnings." Respect MP George Galloway 7-7-05
"They are waging a campaign of murder and destruction. And
there is no limit to the innocent lives they are willing to
take... men with blind hatred and armed with lethal weapons
who are capable of any atrocity... they respect no laws of
warfare or morality."

"Brutal and sadistic? By what girly-man standards? Compared
to how Saddam treated his prisoners, a bit of humiliation was
a walk in the park. AFAIK, No one died or even lost any blood."
-Albert Nurick, a usenet kook and blatant liar, on the rape,
torture and murder at bu$h's Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President,
or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is
not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable
to the American public."

Don't let bu$h do to the United States what his very close
friend and top campaign contributor, Ken Lay, did to Enron...
