Once again, nothing from Surge ON BiS, ZifKnob, the usual tools... I guess when even they must submit to the preponderence of the evidence they just curl up in the snailshells and let REAL MEN hold the court. Pathetic non-men!

"You know this isn't really what we signed up to do. This isn't really what I believe America is about," an Army intelligence officer says, speaking from his base in Iraq.

Lt. Cmdr. Mark Dearden, a naval surgeon who served two tours in Iraq, says members of Congress would move faster to end the war if their relatives were there.

"I don't see enough questioning by people who don't have family members in the military or who aren't being asked to sacrifice anything," Dearden says.

"I don't believe the Iraq war has provided freedom for the people of Iraq," [29-year-old Navy petty officer Jonathan Hutto] tells a modest crowd during a recent lecture in Richmond, Va. "The people of Iraq right now are caught up in a vicious civil war and our troops are caught in the middle of it.

"There's mayhem, sectarian violence claiming too many lives," he adds, as members of the crowd nod their heads in agreement.

Zif,

Nice words of others. What do you think should be done now? What are your personal plans to fix this problem? And what would you have done after 9/11 had you been President?

"What do you think should be done now? What are your personal plans to fix this problem? And what would you have done after 9/11 had you been President?"

Withdraw and regroup while redeploying troops to Afganistan where they can do some good. I, personally, plan on supporting anti-War candidates for office while supporting local veteran's charities. Had I been President? I'd have payed more attention to the report "Bin Laden Determined to Strike America" that my predecessor passed me and acted more diligently to prevent the attrocity of 9/11 from ever happening.

Commie "Monday Morning Quaterbacks" are just wonderful, aren't they?

On the other hand, this is a boom for Chiropractors! So many yellow-bellied Americans with no spines...

Just stick your heads in the sand with the rest of the "defeatocrat" ostriches, and next time your door-bell rings it won't be "Avon calling," or Domino's Pizza, but "Al-Qaeda Home Delivery"!

"redeploying"

We were in Afghanistan before 9/11? Who knew?

Hey, Zif...

Good deal. The last question, though, you didn't answer. It was: What would you have done AFTER 9/11 if you were president?

Definitely agree with you on supporting veteran's charities.

Althor is a coward.
