I understand Saddam gassing his own people. I never said Saddam should stay, and I am very far from being a liberal. As far as tipping my hat I can give G.W, partial credit there is no doubt to the effectiveness of the surge. It should have happened a long time ago. It should have happened from day one.
My complaint is he wants to act like it is all his doing. I am saying that Sadir has called back his dogs for now. That is also partially why the surge is working. Another thing, what about the
oil paying for the war? It is us who is paying, and all we get in return is hate from the M.E. Yet the friends of the White House are making millions, and I do know that is a long tradition.
CDC,
first thing you do is call someone a liberal. Hell I would think a grown man like yourself should stop wearing those little white panties, and especially get that bunched up part out of your crack. Liberal, I think not, if it was me there would be death & destruction all over Iraq.They would know they were beaten, and as far as waging a peace action. There would be no such hand holding. We would fight like we did in WWI &II.
The great thing about this country is we have a right to disagree. I would have continued the shock & awe until they were in the stone age, and those that didn't join would be considered the enemy, and dealt with as such. Just because G.W. is the President does not mean I have to follow him blindly. If that was the case we would still belong to England. Rabble rousers, and trouble makers set us free. I hold them all dear in my heart for having the courage to speak up, and back it up with their fortunes, and lives.
If my speaking of my concern over policy bothers you then maybe I am the true American, and you who refuse my concerns & only want to see it your way. Then I have my doubts about you. That is the way Putin thinks. One country one mind, and everybody needs tape over their mouth. As far as policy? How is our policy working? Can any of you really say it is? This policy has us in over our heads. If you can't see that then you have your head in the sand like an ostrich.
I am only using the privilege of the first amendment.... FREEDOM OF SPEECH, and you would take that away? You would hold me as less an American? I am sometimes left, sometimes right, and sometimes moderate in my thinking. I am not be stuffed into one peghole, and my mind closed to all other ideas. It was open minds that set this country free.
When I sail into a foreign country. I fly the courtesy flag of the host country above the Stars & Stripes, because that is etiquette. On my backstay proudly displayed is a flag 5 times larger than my courtesy flag. 50 stars, and the accompaning stripes, RED, WHITE & BLUE for all to see.
As far as Hilary, and B.O. I wouldn't give them the time of day. They do absolutely nothing to stimulate my blood flow. They outright worry me. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
