Celebrating the 2000th American Death in the Iraq War
ZombieTime ^ | 10/26/2005

Posted on 10/27/2005 2:32:40 PM PDT by NapkinUser

The following pictures were taken in San Francisco on October 26, 2005, at the rally "commemorating" the 2000th death of an American soldier in the Iraq War.

A minor imbroglio erupted few days earlier when the blogs littlegreenfootballs.com and michellemalkin.com made posts mocking the American Friends Service Committee's plans to politicize the 2000th death of an American soldier in the Iraq War, with both blogs describing the upcoming nationwide events as "parties." Many anti-war blogs (which were also politicizing this artificial "milestone") took deep umbrage at this ironic insult, venting their anger at both bloggers, and insisting that the comemmorative events would be somber and respectful.

I decided to check out the AFSC's "Not One More Death, Not One More Dollar" event in San Francisco to settle the dispute. Would the rally be a somber and respectful memorial to our troops -- or a fun and exciting "death party"?

You decide.

This is more about Bush being President than the U.S. being in Iraq.

Direction Note to the Left: When attending a "Somber Vigil", smiling makes your intentions seem disingenuous. Which is what we have suspected they have been all along anyhow.

I especially liked the two code pink girls "chatting" each other up.

Liberals spew hatred, wish people dead and dance on peoples' graves, all in the name of compassion and justice.

The press truck in the background is a nice touch.

The American Friends Service, that I remember in Quang Ngai City, RVN, was a Quaker organization. They had a small compound in the city that was staffed with personnel who made prosthetics for Vietnamese who had lost limbs during the war.

This can't possibly be the same organization.

I did a net search and they are one and the same. What a disappointment.
