another wasted life --- blood on the hands of cheney, condi, chimpy and yes you laura, gates, mcconnell and especially nancy pelosi -- for NOT fighting to stop this madness

i feel for the family of Andrew Olmsted and the other almost 4000 men who went to fight and defend for chimpys ego and pocketbook

There are no words for this horror. And to honor Major Olmsted's request, we must not politicize his death.

But in sorrow there can be understanding.
