Update: I’ve been following the story of these brave soldiers and how they were so horribly slaughtered. I see this and feel so angry that President Bush does not say anything about their barbaric deaths! I am just dumbstruck. When there are so many people who do not understand what kind of animals we are fighting, the president is silent on this slaughter?
Deep down I realize my anger is a result of the horrific actions of these evil thugs!
Dear God, what kind of animals could have done this? What kind of animals could even think this? Bless our brave men and women in uniform!
Powerline has thoughts on how to deal with terrorist thugs like the ones who killed these good US soldiers.
