Mitchell: Karen spent Saturday night with us. The news from San Antonio is horrible. Below are some portions of what she told us Saturday night. She flies down this Friday. Sally and Bill can go into Adam's room. The only place not burned or had skin harvested for a graft was on Adam's stomach. The doctors would let them into the burn unit of the ICU only after Bill and Sally had full scrubs on. Sally could put her hand on Adam's stomach and talk to him. Last Thursday/Friday he had another surgery. They found more wound in his right gluteious muscle and had to remove the entire glut. muscle. The surgeons then had to put in a colostomy bag to prevent infections. So now Sally does not even have a spot on Adam's stomach to rub or hold him.

Sally also learned to not ask any family members of other soldiers how long they have been in San Antonio. She asked one lady on Friday and she replied; "Twelve Months." At least Adam is not in the shape of the husband of a woman who also sits in the waiting room. This woman and her husband have a 3 year old and 10 month old. The kids are with them in the hospital waiting room and visiting room. His burns are worse than Adam's burns plus he has lost both of his arms at the shoulder.

The hospital is an absolute hell of carnage. Young boys with no ears, noses gone, prosthetic limbs. Last night they were bringing in 5 seriously wounded. Today they are bringing in 15 more. Subscribe to *9-11*

Dear God...

And all for lies heaped upon more lies. The decideror and his entire cabal need to be held to account alright - with the same fate as Iraq's ousted dictator met!

As many have mentioned, we owe Tom a big thank you for having the presence of mind to bring us these updates. As Kiki so well stated, this has for the first time for many of us brought a sense of actually "knowing" one of the casualties of this war.

This illegal war is costing us dearly in several ways.
The most important is obviously the cost in human suffering. These young men and women and their families have had their lives wrecked - and it will take a long time to put the shattered pieces back together.
It is also costing everyone in the US in the true sense of the word "cost" - expense. As of the time I write this, we have spent $431,624,868,560 on this war. And for anyone that has not seen how quickly that expense is escalating, you should check out this site. It is simply mind bending. I doubt if that is factoring in the cost of the medical care for the wounded such as Tom's nephew. And I'm quite sure it's not factoring in the future cost of those who will be permanently disabled - many to the point of never being able to do any productive work. The true expense of this wretched mess will easily run into the trillions, and be a burden upon us for many generations to come.
Another way it's costing the entire nation is in our world standing. Several months ago I met a man from Turkey that travels the world on business. We had the opportunity to visit at length. He told me that before the US started the war in Iraq, most other countries actually liked the US; and of even the ones that didn't, we were at least respected. But since the invasion of Iraq, we are hated the world over, and have lost all respect.
We have practically guaranteed that we have created more "terrorists" than ever existed in history, and will face problems on the world stage for a long time to come.

I hang my head in shame. We all should, if for no other reason than to have allowed and continuing to allow this evil cabal to wreak carnage upon the world stage. Alas, in small numbers we can do little about it. And the recent Memorial weekend brought to light to me just how few there are that really care. Our small town was literally covered in American flags (which I'd venture to guess the majority of were made in China) as if to say "I'm proud to be an American". Just about made me want to puke...

Small town folks are kept in a bubble. Their small town newspapers feed them syndicated bilge and their local cable outlet serves up Fox News. They and their naive patriotism are being preyed upon by the Neocon cabal as surely as Iraq is being preyed upon by rural America's benighted sons and daughters (most of whom have been economically press-ganged into becoming expendable cannon fodder for the MIC). Small town Americans and the Iraqis they mindlessly kill have a common enemy, but only one side of this waste of a war (so far) knows it.

Yes. And Big Town folks are kept in a little larger bubble.

Very true. When I visit my parents in small town Kansas, though, I am shocked by the misinformation bubble they live in. It's like we now live in different worlds, worlds that are hard to bridge. Did I mention that they are avid Fox News fans and watch O'Reilly nightly? Oh, and the local paper that weekend featured a column by Michael Reagan that had the gall to charge those exposing the shameless Pentagon propaganda re: Tillman and Lynch with "not supporting the troops"?
