Tomas Young joined the Army two days after September 11, 2001 and was shot and paralyzed after serving only five days in Iraq in 2004. He was the subject of the powerful 2007 documentary Body of War – with a soundtrack that included Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine and Bruce Springsteen – and since then, his health has worsened and he is currently under hospice care. On the 10th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, Young wrote a personal, heartbreaking letter to war criminals George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. It was originally posted on Truthdig.com; Young has given us permission to reprint it here.

Young was shot above the collarbone and paralyzed from the chest down just 5 days into his deployment in 2004, as chronicled in the award - winning 2007 documentary Body of War - then suffered a pulmonary embolism and a brain injury in 2008. Last November, after years of abdominal pain, doctors removed his colon.
After months of taking 20 pills a day and ingesting food thru a tube, Young plans to end his life this month by removing the tube.
But Young isn't going quietly.
On the 10th anniversay of the Iraq War last month he published a scathing open letter to George Bush and Dick Cheney.
"The Iraq War is the largest strategic blunder in U.S. history," wrote Young, adding, "On every level – moral, strategic, military and economic – Iraq was a failure. And it was you, Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney, who started this war. It is you who should pay the consequences. 'My day of reckoning is upon me. Yours will come,' he warns.
My day of reckoning is upon me. Yours will come. I hope you will be put on trial. But mostly I hope, for your sakes, that you find the moral courage to face what you have done to me and to many, many others who deserved to live. I hope that before your time on earth ends, as mine is now ending, you will find the strength of character to stand before the American public and the world, and in particular the Iraqi people, and beg for forgiveness.
Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, a close friend of Young's, was one of many who found themselves moved by Young's words. "I think that letter is the most effective piece of anti-war literature written in 50 years," says Morello.
Adds Morello, "It's a damning indictment. He's a soldier who is calling the former president a war criminal. That's news ! And accurate."
For six days in June 2009, South Carolina GovernorMark Sanford's
whereabouts were unknown and there was media coverage of what was
described as his disappearance. Subsequently the Governor reappeared and
reported that he had been in Buenos Aires, Argentina
with a woman with whom he was having an extramarital affair. He stated
that in 2001 he met and became friends with this woman and that they
started having a sexual relationship in 2008. His wife became aware of
the relationship in January 2009, and it was later revealed that two
weeks prior to June 24 Sanford and his wife had begun a trial separation. The woman was later identified as Maria Belén Chapur, an Argentine journalist.
During the six days of absence, one of the excuses offered by Sanford's spokesperson was that Sanford was hiking the Appalachian Trail.[1] As a result, "hiking the Appalachian Trail" or "hiking the Appalachians" became an acceptable euphemism in the English language
From June 18 until June 24, 2009, the whereabouts of Governor Sanford
were unknown to the public, including his wife and State Law
Enforcement Division, which provides security for him. The absence of
Governor Sanford was first reported by Jim Davenport of the Associated Press.[4][5]
This six day disappearance garnered nationwide news coverage. His state
and personal phones were turned off and he did not respond to phone or
text messages. That prompted some to believe that he was missing and
raised questions about who was acting as governor of South Carolina. His
wife, Jenny Sanford, initially stated that she was not concerned and
that he needed time away from their children to write something.[6] Sanford has apparently made similar disappearances in the past, although this was the longest.[7]
After media speculation grew, Sanford's office on June 22 stated that
he told them where he was going before he left and that he would be
"difficult to reach."[8] Later that day, Sanford's spokesman, Joel Sawyer, told the press that Sanford was hiking the Appalachian Trail.[1]
Some South Carolina politicians voiced concerns about the governor's behavior. Lieutenant GovernorAndré Bauer
announced that he could not "take lightly that his staff has not had
communication with him for more than four days, and that no one,
including his own family, knows his whereabouts."[1]The Senate Minority Leader, Democrat John Land, also questioned the fact that Sanford was absent over the Father's Day
weekend, arguing that "it's one thing for the boys to go off by
themselves, but on Father's Day to leave your family behind? That's
erratic."[6]
On June 23, spokesman Sawyer reported that Sanford had contacted his
staff that morning—after apparently being out of touch with them for
five days—and expressed surprise at all of the attention to his absence.
Sawyer announced that the governor had decided to return to work the
next day.
Con For Congress Mark Sanford Charged With Trespassing
Congressional candidates who are down in the polls often pull unexpected
stunts to try to shake up the race — but even the most cunning
strategist would have to question the wisdom of publicizing an
unredacted list of phone numbers from people who have called the
campaign.
This past weekend, former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford (R), best
known for lying about an affair with an Argentinian woman, ran a
full-page ad in the Charleston Post & Courier to support his
congressional campaign after it was revealed that he had been charged
with trespassing at his ex-wife’s house. In the ad, Sanford included his
personal cell phone number and told readers to call him “if you have
further questions.”
After Sanford published his own cell phone number, House Majority
PAC, a Democratic-aligned super PAC, included his number in a
fundraising email sent Wednesday.
Sanford responded Thursday by publishing a list of unredacted phone
numbers from anybody who had called his cell phone in an attempt to
publicly shame them.
CHARLESTON, S.C. — Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford must
appear in court two days after running for a vacant congressional seat
to answer a complaint that he trespassed at his ex-wife's home,
according to court documents acquired by The Associated Press on
Tuesday.
The complaint says Jenny Sanford confronted Sanford leaving her
Sullivans Island home on Feb. 3 by a rear door, using his cell phone for
a flashlight. Her attorney filed the complaint the next day and Jenny
Sanford confirmed Tuesday the documents are authentic.
Here is a question for South Carolina voters: If his own wife can't trust him, why should you?
The only people dumber than Bush are the people who voted for him. Then those people got stupid and voted for him again. With that in mind I present this numbskull in pictures.
You dumb fuck Republicans had much better choices in 2000 but you nominated this idiot and look at the results. Fuck you you dumb fucks!
The dick sucking Republicans are going nuts because one of their own (in name only) is telling the truth. Christie is referring to Obama's outstanding response to his Obama's handling of Hurricane Sandy.
Rebublicans are now calling Chris Christie a RINO (Republican In Name Only) but I'm calling that big fat large and in charge son of a bitch a RHINO. The man is fearless, tough as nails and he is too big right now for anyone to fuck with him. To say the Chris Christie is big is the understatment of the decade. Christie, in the minds of voters is bigger than the entire Republican party. Christie is really fucking big not only in physical size but in also in his politcal stature -- big enought to start his own party-- the pizza party,
Christie thought more about the people of New Jersey than he did his party. That takes him from politician to leader. Once again we see that fat men, eg, Bill Clinton, William Howard Taft and Teddy Roosevelt, make the best leaders. Christie's high approval rating proves that. When you put the people first people don't care as much about your politics.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie ® on Monday shrugged off criticism from Republicans who said that he was a traitor for praising President Barack Obama’s handling of Hurricane Sandy just days before the 2012 election.
Speaking to MSNBC on the six-month anniversary of the super storm, Christie doubled down by insisting that the president had “kept every promise” that he had made to help the people of New Jersey.
“A lot of conservatives say they’re done with you, you’re finished in national politics because of what you did,” MSNBC host Joe Scarborough noted. “Six months later, do you have any regrets?”
“No,” Christie replied. “I say the same thing to all my critics no matter where they are on the spectrum, and that is that I’ve got a job to do. And the fact is that there was nothing else that ever crossed my mind in the days after.”
Author John Meacham wondered how the White House had performed since the election.
“The president has kept every promise that he made,” Christie insisted. “And that fact is, that’s what I was saying at the time. What I was saying at the time, I was asked about how was the president doing? And I said, he’s doing a good job, he’s kept his word.”
“And so, everybody knows I have about 95 percent level of agreement with Barack Obama on issues of principle and philosophy, but the fact is we have a job to do. And what people expect from people they elect is to do their job.”
The governor added: “Since that time, I have to say, everything that they promised they would do, they’ve done. And so, I don’t have any complaints or arguments with them this morning on the issue of Sandy relief.”
Tea Bagger Willaim Gheen makes a good point about that sissy Lindsey Graham's closet rump raping. There are probably a lot of people in DC who are black mailing Lindsey. Gheen is suggesting that Lindsey's legislation allowing more illegal immigration may be because of blackmail. That sounds reasonable to me. Maybe they have pictures of Lindsey Graham blowing a boy.
It is interesting that a tea bagger would go after a homo because *tea bagging is a favorite activity of gay men like Lindsey Graham.
*To have a man insert his scrotum into another man's mouth in the
fashion of a teabag into a mug with an up/down (in/out) motion.
