I didn't just calmly announce a change in plan for a 53-year old practice. Think of all the movies you've seen where the platoon has to go back in to retrieve the body of one of their own.

We Americans have killed 1.5 million Iraqis in the past 12 years to protect Haliburton oil's (one of the Cheney companies) monopoly on Iraqi oil. Only company that can trade 'oil for humanitarian supplies'. And American bombing and sanctions have led to the deaths of a million and a half in the past 12 years...direct bombardments and destruction of clean water, electrical and sewage facilities, etc. But all you heard on the government-controlled media regarding Iraq during that time was an occasional mention of a U.S. plane being shot at.

'Out of sight, out of mind' is the rule which was applied to the U.S. military's murders in Iraq since the end of the war, and it worked so well that now they're going to do the same with American troops. Hell yes there will be mass casualties, but they DON'T WANT THE SIGHT OF BODY BAGS COMING HOME LIKE WE SAW IN VIET NAM! YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE BURNED LIKE TRASH IN THE FIELD, PEOPLE! WAKE UP!
