<<< Yes, Iraq is working like a magnet. It is atracting the lowlife of that part of the world. We can kill them over there much easier than over here. I wish we could get out, but we have some trash to remove first. >>>

This is a noecon myth. The majority of people fighting us in Iraq are Iraqis. They were under Saddam's thumb until we set them free. Nice gratitude they've shown us, huh? Big mistake.

 

<<< Why such a negative nancy view on the whole deal.>>>

Why? We've occupied Iraq for a year and a half, is it getting better? Have the attcks on our soldiers stopped or even slowed down?

<<<Yes some of them are radical anti western civilization and thats what you see on tv. if they are all that way they should prolly just all die. >>>


Some of them? Hah! In a country of 25 million......some...... equals around 5 million.

 

<<<You need to stop using catch phrases from Ralph Nader. Heck, he can't even get his name on the ballots in half the states.>>>>

YUeah, thats a shame. He is more honest than either candidate. Thats why the media either ignores him or paints him as half crazy. If he got in office the corperate payoffs would stop. For both parties.......

<<<Yah, like going there for a few months and then coming back and turning on your fellow soldiers is some how noble.>>>

He served, he earned the right to speak out. BTW, is anyone here gonna say VietNam wasn't a mistake? So in essense Kerry was right. You just don't like his methods....


<<<Did any "Thinking man" honestly believe that this was going to be easy? Or that it would happen over night? It isn't an easy task, but nothing worthwhile ever is. >>>


Well, I'm nopt so sure Bush is a thinking man, I know he doesn't read by his own admission. But, him standing on a aircraft carrier, in a flight suit, with a MISSION ACCOMPLISHED sign..........leads me to believe he thought it was easy. He had no idea what a mess he was getting this country into.



<<<The death toll of Americans is over 1000 now, and all of the liberals are coming out of the woodwork, like 1000 is some magic number. I say even 1 American death is a tragedy. But unfortunately it is a product of war and inevitable. The men and women serving in our military and dieing for us are being done an injustice by the liberals that are making their deaths a tool for political gain. They should be ashamed, I know I am of them.>>>


Admittedly, 1000 is not a huge number for war losses. However, the point you're missing is that not 1 life is worth losing if you are squandering troops in a useless mission against the wrong country. I'm ashamed that instead of admitting their folly, the republicans will hold firm to a failed plan, at the expense of American lives. Thats pretty damm arrogant IMO.

 

bush lovers just don;t get ......maybe there blind/deaf?.......[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

Not blind or deaf I want a strong defense I like all the places I can ride my ATV and I love the 2nd amendent. If you don't think all would change under Scarry Kerry then you haven't read his 18 year voting record. When you look at the statements he made after he came back from Viet Nam he spit in the face of every American who has served this country from the American Revolution to the present.

 

How old are you warrior350 ripper?

This gentleman felt so strongly about this that he paid for a full page ad in the September 6th Edition of the Army Times.

By Dexter Lehtinen, an Army paratrooper and Ranger, severely wounded in 1971 while a reconnaissance platoon leader in Vietnam. He later graduated first in his class from Stanford Law School and later served as a Florida State Senator and the United States Attorney in Miami.

Here is his Full Page Advertisement:

John Kerry & Vietnam THE WOUNDS THAT NEVER HEAL In 1971, I awakened after three days of unconsciousness aboard a hospital ship off the coast of Vietnam. I could not see, my jaws were wired shut, and my left cheekbone was missing, a gaping hole in its place.

Later, while still in that condition at St Albans Naval Hospital, one of my earliest recollections was hearing of John Kerry's testimony before Congress. I remember lying there, in disbelief, as I learned how Kerry told the world that I served in an Army reminiscent of Genghis Khans; that officers like me routinely let their men plunder villages and rape villagers at will; that "war crimes" committed in Vietnam by my fellow soldiers "were not isolated incidents but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command."

Then Kerry went to Paris, meeting with the North Vietnamese enemy officials, all while our soldiers still fought in the field. The pain and disbelief I felt listening to his words went deeper than the pain I felt from the enemy fire which seriously wounded my face.

Eighteen months later I was discharged from the hospital, the wounds inflicted by the enemy fully healed. But more than 30 years later, the wounds inflicted by John Kerry continue to bring pain to scores of Vietnam veterans. Those wounds--the bearing of false witness against me and a generation of courageous young Americans who fought and died in Vietnam--are much more serious than any wound warranting a Purple Heart. Those wounds go to the heart and soul. Those wounds never go away.

Today, my son is a Marine Corps weapons officer, flying the F/A 18 Hornet. He belongs to the same Marine Corps Kerry ridiculed with his 1971 book cover showing protesters simulating the Iwo Jima Memorial, raising an upside-down American flag. He flies the same F/A 18 fighter jet that Kerry voted against in the U. S. Senate. And today, Kerry's picture hangs in an honored place in Saigon's war museum, as a hero to the Vietnamese Communists. Yet, John Kerry shamelessly drapes himself in the imagery of Vietnam military service and the support of veterans devoid of any media scrutiny.

Meanwhile, the criticism and disapproval of Kerry by scores of veterans continues to fall on deaf ears. Worse yet, any legitimate criticism of Kerry's post-war record is discredited as a "personal" attack or an attack against his service.
John Kerry is quick to surround himself with a handful of veterans and claims overwhelming support from the veteran community. He ignores, however, the wounds he inflicted on millions of veterans, and he refuses to sign a waiver to release his military personal records and medical
records. This is the portrait of a man who has failed to comes to terms with his treacherous past.

I, Dexter Lehtinen, paid for this ad personally, without any connection to other individuals or groups, because I want the public to know what John Kerry did to our Vietnam veterans.
