Please stand behind our troops. They need all the prayers they can get.
they say that all is fair in love and war... i am beginning to wonder. the whole world is condemning america, because we're in iraq, because of our treatment of prisoners... dispicable, yes... shameful, yes...
but who speaks for the four american contractors?
on march 31, in fallujah, four civilian security guards were ambushed... their bodies burned... beaten and mutilated... put on display hanging from a bridge... is this not dispicable? is this not shameful?
but who speaks for those who died for their country?
while insurgents danced in the streets, celebrating their "victory" over each american life lost... too many of them lately... who served honorably without reservations... is this not dispicable? is this not shameful?
WHO SPEAKS FOR THEM???
