Nothing New

I've had this flyer since 1972; produced by the McGovern folks. Richard Nixon ran as a peace candidate in 1968, and didn't end the war. Obama ran as a peace candidate in 2008, and won't end this war. The difference? In 1972 the people still cared. Now? Not so sure.

From my friend Ian

Ian Ebright is a friend who writes for online site "Broken Telegraph"

4,430 U.S. Troops killed
31,920 U.S. Troops wounded
9,765 Iraqi Police and Soldiers Killed
98,000- 108,000 Iraqi civilian deaths from violence
Over 2,000,000 Iraqis displaced (driven by necessity into neighboring countries)

Where is the Christian outrage? There is no "just war" theory to cover this, plus murder dressed up as "drone strikes."

Just saying.
