Re: My brother the Solider
That quote's a little out of context, but whatever. We're still in Afghanistan and people are still being shot at, which means there must be some targets there.

Re: My brother the Solider
The operation in Afganistan has been hampered by the shift of resources to Iraq.
Where is Bin Laden? Didn't we capture Saddam a while back? |

If you expect to be taken seriously then I suggest that you drop the Michael Moore-wannabe act and give proper context to the quotes you give. Or maybe I'm wrong and you actually don't know the context behind these quotes and are just swiping them from liberal talking points without a care as to the context. Lord knows it's happened before... |

[/ QUOTE ] Problem is Bush and Rumsfeld don't listen to their own generals. How much more clearer can I make it that Bush doesn't put a priority on punishing OBL for 9/11 than give you quotes from the proverbial horse's mouth... Jump up and down and scream liberal all you want. It doesn't change the fact that Bush said those things in response to direct questions about the hunt for OBL. |

My point was here my brother is in the military protecting our way of life and this woman on the day he leaves says such a thing...now she is a bush hater, but still if theres any day of the year to bite your tongue it is that day..his blood could spill on iraq soil and her comment is the best she can do? [/ QUOTE ] I think you should solve your problems with her and don't waste our time with your personal vendettas. |

Yes, she probably could have chosen her words better, but considering the general political climate surrounding the war in Iraq I don't see how her comments could be a huge surprise, especially given your knowledge that she is a "Bush hater." |
