Here's something you'll never hear from any pundit, news reporter, or politician this Memorial Day: an apology.

To all the soldiers who have been maimed and killed in the wars of the Bush-Cheney regime:

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I didn't do more to voice my opposition when it mattered.

I'm sorry I have kept paying for the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan with my tax dollars, without doing more to ensure that you had all the equipment and training you needed to stay alive. I'm sorry I didn't do more to prevent all the money spent so far from being written in the form of blank checks to Halliburton and other war profiteers.

I'm sorry for all the pain, suffering, and death you've had to endure.

I'm sorry you were sent in without a clear mission, without an objective, and without constraints on your behavior so you could avoid being put in the position of committing war crimes on the orders of your inferiors in Washington.

I'm sorry some of you were allowed to be in the military, when your recruiters and training instructors knew you had little or no moral compass, when they knew you might gladly mistreat prisoners at places such as Abu Ghraib and Gitmo. The actions carried out by these disgraces to their uniforms have tarnished the reputation of the military as a whole.

I'm sorry many of you who were maimed -- mentally, physically, or both -- were tricked out of your health care benefits by a Pentagon so greedy for money that it decided it could get away with fraudulently listing your conditions as pre-existing.

I'm sorry I didn't make a bigger, louder, and more effective effort to call for the impeachment, prosecution, and conviction of those whose lies sent you into the hell of Iraq and Afghanistan with no way out.

To the families who have lost loved ones to these horrific wars and occupations:

I'm sorry your friends and relatives have suffered and died in vain. I'm sorry their sacrifices have been swept under the rug, their true stories and their names and faces hidden away so that the public feels little connection to what's being done in our name. I'm sorry your loved ones have been turned into instruments of propaganda and political posturing.

To the people of Iraq:

I'm sorry for everything you've had to endure.

yup, you are the "sorriest" person I have ever met, and so eloquent at expressing it


whoops, sorry, I did not read the bottom line. Did not realize that was a laughing monkey saying that and not you. How do you feel about it yourself, or does the giggling monkey speak for your thoughts also?

I take it your not sorry?

actually one would have to stand in line behind you for that honor....

can I stand behind you Symbelmyne?

only if you stand really close....

Oh baby

the author did forget to say to future generations that we were sorry we bankrupted the country

I'm sorry for believing that when the United States invaded Afghanistan, we were actually going to get Bin Laden.

I'm sorry that more Americans don't take the time to step away from their own lives and listen to our injured vets, to show that "support the troops" isn't just a bunch of rhetorical propaganda.

Willy,

That monkey ALWAYS speaks for Mr. madman. Such a shame to post something so disgraceful and disgusting at a time such as now when we are paying tribute to our fallen heroes during Memorial Day observances.

I know how to speak for myself and for my gratefulness and appreciation of our troops.

There was a segment on a local Christian television show where one of our soldiers, a Christian, started taking photos of the Iraq people and how they thank our troops for all they are doing for them. This soldier is half way through his SECOND tour in Iraq.

Of course, you will NEVER hear of anything such as this on the left wing liberal full of hate media.

But do not fear, God ALWAYS has a way of getting the truth through!! Sorry madman, you just cannot defeat GOD!!

PTL

Is the American government loyal to you?

The American government would just as soon lock you up for life

The American government doesnt represent the citizens

Look at how the government treats us

Its all about money

Not loyalty, not honor

And certainly not about the "GOD" of love

I still luv ya Lindyy

Holy crap!? Madman is straight and flirting? Wonder if he gets his lines and moves by cutting and pasting?

Maybe doing that would help you

How sad is it to minimilize what is in fact an apology for the troops, that Americans didn't stand up for them more when it was needed. Politics be damned.
If anyone wants to know the good that our men and women are doing in Iraq (and there is good being done there contrary to the overall MSM reporting)then take some time to read something, instead of relying on Corporate controlled media.

I could care less that this piece came from the Smirking chimp site, to me that doesn't detract from the heart that this has.
Besides, anyone who is still supporting George Bush, has in fact been following a Smirking Chimp for the last 7 1/2 years or so anyways.

"God ALWAYS has a way of getting the truth through!! Sorry madman, you just cannot defeat GOD!!"
You should seriously examine and reexamine what you see in your own mirror before you invoke the Lord while preaching a political agenda.

surly Lyndy dear if there is a god then we would never have been mislead in Iraq and again ifthere is a god Bush will have some explaining to do

Don't know what your remark means, does not matter. I speak the way I feel the Holy Spirit moves me in certain topics, this specific topic is one that I REALLY felt led by the Holy Spirit to say.

You see Warmachine, you yourself are a victim of only wanting to hear or see a certain point of view. The Christian Television stations in the US are the only source of media that tells the truth with no bias, prejudice or agenda attached to it.

AGAIN "God ALWAYS has a way of getting the truth through!! Sorry,you just cannot defeat GOD!!"

I guess we simply disagree on this topic. No biggie.

Lindyy


P.S. Sorry warmachine, your little 'dig' about following President Bush for the last 7 1/2 years, I would vote for President Bush all over again!!

Did not know you have subcumbed to the name calling antics of madman. I guess 'birds of a feather, flock together.'

Mirror,

All is well, but you MUST keep in mind that the government changes at least every 2 years, with different people constantly being elected.

SO, what is the GOVERNMENT?

Lindyy

Im sorry that there are still people who support our government after it has failed us so miserably in every way possible, but let us at least be thankfull they didnt privatize social security. I was wondering though with all this self rightouse indignity how many of you actualy visited a vetreans home? How many actualy took an hour from your long weekend and dropped in to see how well the crippled and maimed are being treated?
