What a waste!! Yet the neocons and Halliburton et al still get richer. It's bad enough that the GUYS are/were getting wasted. It's even worse when they're dying in stalemates/endless wars! The people need to wake up and resist!

Anonymous: The media will NEVER wakeup becaused the media is "in the tank" to the Bush administration, and much of the media is owned by big corporations who also own companies that are making money hand over fist on the war.
