“Barbara is right, troops. Let’s try to hold the speculation in check as well as the snarking, at least until the blood has dried”

Troops who’s troops, certainly not yours, I’m with joanr16, let the snarking continue!

The shooter went to Va. Tech. It makes me wonder if he was around when the kid shot people there. What I don’t understand is, this guy had been given a bad review and was arguing with people and becoming anti war. Why would they send him over to be one on one with guys struggling in the midst of war?

Bigotry always deserves snark. The alternative is to hate right back, which only makes things worse.

I’m not sure how or why we distinguish these military deaths from the faces on the News Hour every week. A president fakes one war and blows off another; the next president carries on those wars; the Rummys and Gateses and McCrystals and Petraeuses are in denial; the citizenry likewise.

In fact, it’s a constant tragedy. The blood never dries.

Barbara is right, troops. Let’s try to hold the speculation in check as well as the snarking, at least until the blood has dried. There’s a bunch of families grieving and we owe to them to maintain some dignity & decorum as the truth emerges.

I’m not one to speculate…but I have a faint suspicion that this incident has it’s roots in the misery and suffering created by Bush’s invasion of Iraq. I think it’s all part of the tab we must pay as a nation for ever trusting in George W. Bush. And I think Satan himself would be repulsed as I am by that egotistical moron Bush.
