Nick Morgan, US Veteran, Trampled by Police Horse at Final Presidential Debate

On Wednesday October 15th 2008, former Army Sergeant Nick Morgan, a 24 year old veteran of the US war in Iraq, was nearly killed by riot police, his face crushed under a police horse, during a peaceful protest outside the final US presidential debates.

Morgan is a native of Annapolis, MD who spent four-years the US Army and one year in Iraq. He was a participant in the Winter Soldier hearings and is an active member of the Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW), a national organization of 'Global War On Terror' veterans who had come to the Presidential debates in Long Island, demanding that veterans' concerns be heard during these nationally televised dialogues MORE

Support = Cut Off Funding and Bring Our Troops Home

If I was one of the troops, I'd want the Democrats to take no funding action; no bill, no vote, no veto, no more support for Bush's Iraq occupation policy. That would place the ball back in Bush's court to either leave us in Iraq without resources (his choice and blame on him), or bring us home. The sooner that happens, the less likely I'd end up like Isaac Gallegos, a burned pawn in a rich man's war.

A friend reports that this picture first appeared in the San Antonio Express News last week. There is a multi-million dollar facility for wounded soldiers in San Antonio.

George Bush has been to San Antonio five times as President and he finally had the guts to come by and see the soldiers in rehab. In classic Dubya style, as the picture tells, he seems to find something really amusing. You will note the soldiers in the picture don't look too amused. This one picture says a 1000 words about that man and his presidency.
