What Do Iraq Vets Say About Bush?

Over on ElectronicIraq.net, Corporal Abdul Henderson, a Marine who served in Iraq from March until May, 2003, was asked what he would tell Bush if he could?

[He] took a deep breath and said, “It would be two hits-me hitting him and him hitting the floor. I see this guy in the most prestigious office in the world, and this guy says ‘bring it on.’ A guy who ain’t never been shot at, never seen anyone suffering, saying ‘bring it on?’ He gets to act like a cowboy in a western movie…it’s sickening to me.”

That’s all we’ve been saying. Then this, “from Alex Ryabov, a corporal in an artillery unit which was in Iraq the first three months of the invasion, asked for some time to formulate his response to the same question.”

“I don’t think Bush will ever realize how many millions of lives he and his lackeys have ruined on their quest for money, greed and power,” he says, “To take the patriotism of the American people for granted…the fact that people (his administration) are willing to lie and make excuses for you while you continue to kill and maim the youth of America and ruin countless families…and still manage to do so with a smile on your face.”

Taking a deep breath to steady himself he continues as if addressing Bush first-hand; “You needs to resign, take the billions of dollars you’ve made off the blood and sweat of US service members….all the suffering you’ve caused us, and put those billions of dollars into the VA to take care of the men and women you sent to be slaughtered. Yet all those billions aren’t enough to even try to compensate all the people who have been affected by this.”

Head over here for the entire story.

You might also want to wander over to Salon.com, where a former Iraq veteran has posted a letter that basically says this administration and its lackeys in the press have been lying about Iraq. Nothing we didn’t know already, but it’s interesting to hear it straight from a soldier’s pen. Anyone wanna call these guys unpatriotic? Anyone wanna tell these guys who were actually over there that they’re “emboldening the enemy?” Didn’t think so.
