Bush Really Feels Their Pain

Another life snuffed out for no good reason, another grieving family, another request to fight the war correctly or get out.

CLEVELAND - The day after burying their son, parents of a fallen Marine urged President Bush to either send more reinforcements to
Iraq or withdraw U.S. troops altogether.

"We feel you either have to fight this war right or get out," Rosemary Palmer, mother of Lance Cpl. Edward Schroeder II, said Tuesday.

Schroeder, 23, died two weeks ago in a roadside explosion, one of 16 Ohio-based Marines killed recently in Iraq.

The soldier's father said his son and other Marines were being misused as a stabilizing force in Iraq.

"Our comments are not just those of grieving parents," Paul Schroeder said in front of the couple's home. "They are based on anger, Mr. President, not grief. Anger is an honest emotion when someone's family has been violated."

Palmer accused the president of refusing to make changes in a war gone bad. "Whether he leads them out by putting more troops on the ground or pulling them out — he can't just let it continue," she said.

You know, it's sad that so many people hang on to the mistaken notion that we were ever there for a good reason. I suppose that is the safe harbor of the soul who has a loved one in harms way. This war was never about "protecting our freedoms". This was always the war of an insolent self-centered moron trying to prove he isn't that dickless piece of shit always having his sorry ass bailed out by daddy's friends. Nope, he has a big enough penis to send other people's kids, moms, dads, brothers, sisters, and loved ones to fight for those same fuckfaces that paved his driveway with gold bricks.

God help the poor souls of those left behind the Bush turd parade. They'd better have some big shovels.
