it's about time someone smacked these ragheads around a little bit! we were Attacked 3 Time on Clintons Watch WTC the USS Cole and The US Embassy and He Did Nothing Just like a true Lib. I'm no Fan of Bush and I wish we Had someone with Balls to tell CONgress that Were Fighting terrorists not a Recognized Military, and the Geneva Conventions Don't Apply then unleash a Brutal Assault on Terrorism! if Terrorists are Hiding in a Mosque Blow it up, as Far as I'm Concerned there should be NO safe Haven for terrorists. thats My Opinion and if you Disagree with Me I DON'T CARE AND WILL NOT RESPOND TO YOU.

Being patriotic and honoring soldiers has absolutely nothing to do with not seeing that the administrations agenda was not for the American people. The agenda was personal and that makes it a crime. We were struck by bin laden, not Saddam. Saddam has been what he has been long before 9/11 (we utilized him as an ally on more than on occasion)and should not have had to pay for 9/11 with his life. Iraq did not ask us to save them from Saddam, Iraq did not ask to be democricized, therefore we are as tyranical as Saddam in our zest for the personal agenda of this administration. :hu

I agree, but not a single candidate is saying we should simply up and out. They are saying over the course of several years we will significantly lower the number of soldiers in Iraq. I don't think that is such a bad thing.
People just over simplify it when they don't like the sound of it.

Sir, it was not me who spat upon you, nor would I ever do such a thing. I have great respect for those who are willing to lay down their lives for the protection of others. I just hate to see lives wasted in such a way.
I guess the plan is to stay in Iraq forever then? What if they moved their training to Vietnam? I suppose we'd bring the war there, or anywhere else in the world? I'm really just asking that we take a look at the path we are on.
And no I don't believe the media.
But that begs an interesting question, why exactly is it that we are willing to put up with being lied to by either the media or our president? Because we have become complacent and apathetic. So people who decide to speak up against the powers are practically laughed at.
I'm sorry, normally I refrain from writing and preaching in such a way...but seriously, enough is enough. Open your eyes.
Change.

touchybear..what years did you serve

I'm with you Madison...these people are nuts.
Bush lied to the entire world...several times...started a large scale war...while "protecting" us got many of our sons, brothers, sisters killed...attempted to take away our rights...went into a country we had no business being in...and managed to F*ck it all up so bad that it will take years and years to repair.

And for those of you who want to compare these vets to Vietnam vets...I'd say that would be most appropriate. Because this war is really no different than the Vietnam war was. A percieved threat, American lives being tossed away. So think back on Vietnam and how you felt about that war...because it is happening again and will only continue if McCain is elected. The guy is a Warhawk, plain and simple.

To quote a speech from the Vietnam era,"America will no longer be associated with Freedom and Democracy, but violent imperialism."

But who cares what the rest of the world thinks right? We are Americans! We are better! ...makes me sick...

And don't even get me started on wether or not Bush is a man of God. If you don't think God knows that there is no difference between killing a man and telling someone else to kill a man...then you are dead wrong.

I sometimes laugh at the folks who spew the standerd propoganda about the war in Iraq and often wonder how they can live in that "spun" reality. I would suggest people should read up on the subject one book I recomend is "Legacy of Ashes" by Tim Weiner, winner of the pulitzer prize, he uses freedom of information act documents and declasified material as a source, there is no spin involved and as our friend "Joe Friday" would say "just the facts Ma'm. It is a real eye opener as to how the world realy operates and is available at that liberal institution known as a public library.

Good moring to all I think most of us are cought up in looks.
Education B,S, don't miss He, She, because of looks you just.
