WE can thank ourselves for that one....99% of america was for invading Iraq in 2003 and Afganistan in 2001 when this all first started. NOBODY can't honestly say that the Pres. lied about what he told us...because neither you or I were there when he recieved that information. For all we know he recieve false intellegents like he said. Bush decided to follow through with the war instead of wimping out like 55% of America has done and forget what you are fighting for....and now he gets critisized for it. How bout we all go back to 9/11 and think....hmmmm should we leave them alone? or Destroy the people who did this and show other that this is what happens when you mess with the US!

 

I'm with you Andy. You can ALWAYS tell the left wing liberals as soon as they open thier mouths. Does anyone remember that the President said it would be a "long" fight? Well I do. Another thing...stop calling him 'Bush' or 'king George'. He is our President. Like it or not. Stop disrespecting our President and the office he holds. Disagree with his policies if you choose but don't disrespect the President of the United States. You can state your concerns without the disrespect. IF the President had NOT taken action against the terrorists, you might well have seen a mushroom cloud over LA, NY or DC. (suitcase nuk) These same people that are saying the President "lied" and that he 'started' an unjust war. Would be screaming he did nothing. Kinda like the 'bunch' who think killing unborns is ok...but stand and burn candles to save the life of a convicted serial killer...kill the inocent and save the guilty..they are the far left. Sorry to stray from the topic but 'thier same logic' applies here.

 

I hope your still around when the Draft comes along!

 

I absoulutly wiil be...I'd volunteer to be drafted...Frankly, 75% of our country are pansies and wouldnt stand up and fight if there whole family were slaughtered as many were on 9-11

 

I'll be ready...if it werent for people that join the army...either by volunteering or being drafted...life as all of us americans know it would cease to exist....we wouldnt have the freedom to get on this site and discuss what we think about stuff....and have fun with our trucks...we wouldnt get to watch our kids grow up in a safe and secure place. We would aways be haunted with a fear that we or someone we love could be killed by a roadside bomb...or get shot or anything of a serious nature. We probably be killed just because we are Christians (those of us who are). We wouldnt have the right to speak out freely against the government as we can currently do. We would be persicuted to no end just because we are american, or any other group you could possibly be put into. I am glad we have brave young men and women to join our army and defend our and others rights to live against the evil forces in the world. My younger brother who just finished a tour of duty in Iraq is one of those brave people and I would proudly join him in defending our great country if the United Stated called upon me for help.

 

Not to divert from the subject, but didn't the Prezident award the DCI Tenent with the highest civilian decoration?

 

Just because a person holds a certain position does NOT mean that he or she automatically gets respect. Respect is EARNED, it is not a given. There are plenty of people who I do not like, but I have a lot of respect for, sorry, King George is not one of them. He has done nothing to EARN my respect. Yes, he said it would be a long fight, but, so far, there has been a complete lack of direction or planning from the get go. Remember Cheney saying the cost would be 2 billion, tops? Remember the "mission accomplished"? Remember the month of looting as we stood by and watched? Remember how Cheney said we would be welcomed as heros? Where are the WMD's, that is the reason we went to war in the first place! Bush sold the war through fear, not the first time such a tactic has been used in history, and a lot of people bought it. C. Rice used the "mushroom cloud" card during one of her speeches, I listened to it. Powell used the biological weapon card, I heard that too. I also listened to Hans Blix say "there are no WMD's in Iraq, give me 3 months, let me finish my work" No, Bush had to rush to war against the wishes of the U.N. and the world. Our war plans generated the largest demonstrations in the history of man. I am not against the military, although I think we spend way too much, but I am against the war. I have a ton of respect for those who are serving in Iraq, I just wish they were not there. War should be the very last resort, it is a very serious decision to make war. Does anybody remember Bush looking under the table and joking when WMD's and their whereabouts were mentioned? People are dying over there, it is no joke, yet he can laugh about it. That does NOT earn my respect! The need to have a military is one thing, and I agree we need a military to defend ourselves, no question about it. How we USE our military is another thing.

 

ARE YOU THERE??? Are you aware of the empty war heads and the clapsable chem. stations we've found...Are you aware that many of our soldiers are welcomed with hugs and thank you's? Obviously not..Some of us, have friends and family over there who, unlike both liberal and conservitive news media, actually KNOW whats going on...we've also found burried JETS, yes FIGHTER JETS!!! So in that 2 months that the UN screwed around you think Iraqis wernt smart enoguh to send there Chemicals and WMDS to Seria...Go find someone who went to iraq...then you'll understand that "king george" was right

 

I'm glad our military is defending us from over there instead of down at the end of my block.
Maybe we can pull out and they will leave us alone if we let them have southern Cali to take target practice at, then you'll be a little closer to it. It's not too distant for me to understand what's gong on over there, but it's not close enough to you for you to understand.

As many years as we gave SH time to comply, do you really think another three months, or more idle threats from the UN would have made any difference? You don't think that three months minimum warning did not give him enough time to get their weapons out of Iraq? Do you think they were going to stop in NYC?
Liberal laws and equal rights crybabies are the ones that have caused us to loose a lot of the ability to defend ourselves from within. It's always easier for these jerks to stand up and whine when they know that regardless of what they say, King George will still be there to stay the course and do his best to keep the bad guys from taking over. I'm one of many that is darn glad he don't listen to whinnies.

 

[QUOTE=Katmandu]I hope your still around when the Draft comes along!

Kat 'kid' do...I did have a draft in my day...I didn't wait to be called. I enlisted, Viet Nam was my war. And I did my share/duty...what's your story!! Anyone who believes there were NO WMD's is living in 'fairy land'. He had'em. My son- in- law got back last summer from his second tour in Iraq (Marines) and he was watching the news with us and he said " I don't know what war they are covering...but it isn't the one I left". He told us that EVERY day..Every Day...no less than 100 Iraqi citizens came up to him or his unit and thanked them for being there and removing that "monster" . No you won't hear that one on the 'news'...there are many positives happening over there, but you will never hear about them. And that IS the truth. Not what you hear...but it is the truth.

 

And if the Dems happen to win the next election, I hope I still have the means to fight the terrorists when they come back for round two.
Or do you think the UN sending a carefully worded Nasty-Gram will keep them away from our shores?

 

Tell your son-in-law I said thank you...There would be alot more ppl supporting what he say and fought for, if we could belive what we see on the news,...
