BUSH LIED.
THESE FLORIDIANS DIED.

These soldiers died for no good reason.
Not for FREEDOM. Not for DEMOCRACY. Not to keep America safe.
They died for oil, they died so that Bush administration cronies could swindle money from taxpayers,
they died for LIES.


Floridians who died for the Bush Administration's lies
(current as of Memorial Day 5/26/08)

 

Dying for a Lie

"Every U.S. soldier who died in Iraq died for a lie.
They may have died for Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice,
the U.S. global empire, the U.S. government,
the military-industrial complex, or Halliburton,
but none of them died for the American people or our freedoms...
Every member of Congress that continues to vote
to fund this war is complicit in these lies.

How many more dead American soldiers
and billions of dollars will it take before
Congress finally says enough is enough?"
- Laurence M. Vance



"The American public knows the importance of this war. They are not as casualty sensitive as the weenies in the American press are". - Fox News pundit and Weekly Standard executive editor Fred Barnes.

"I feel that my willingness to fight for this country has been used and exploited."
- US Army Sgt and Iraq War veteran John Bruhns




No WMDs here!

"We're proud of our president. Americans love having a guy as president, a guy who has a little swagger, who's physical, who's not a complicated guy like Clinton or even like Dukakis or Mondale, all those guys, McGovern. They want a guy who's president. Women like a guy who's president. Check it out. The women like this war. I think we like having a hero as our president. It's simple. - " Shameless ass kisser Chris Matthews
