Isn't Bush from Yale? Hah, complete circle.

Irony is amazing.

 

Yeah,but at least he graduated. Ted Kennedy flunked out of the same institute.

 

say what you will about bush, i am proud to fight under him. he had the ***** to make the choice to go into iraq and not to back down. people think he made a wrong choice, saying they are not who we should be after. but in my opinion, a terrorist is a terrorist. they are all dangerous to our way of life, and any one of them would stuff you and hang you as a prize over their wall. we are hated globally by terrorist and even some of our supposed allies, cough, cough, france, cough, cough. but didn't you notice after we made the march to baghdad and took saddam's sacred city, they finally wanted to help out, screw them, they should be stripped from nato, they have no right to be there, they sure as hell didn't earn it. the british, now there's a good bunch of warriors. i've fought along side british marines, and they are as tough as they come, and no matter where you go, a marine is a marine. we need a leader willing to make sacrifices for the greater cause, not someone who pussyfoots around trying to play nice with everyone, cough cough, bill clinton, cough cough. we are in the fight for the long haul, but i'd rather take the fight to them, then them take the fight to our homeland. and when you see the casualties on cnn, don't get upset at our president, you should be ****** at those cowards who did it to them. we signed up knowing that we might be killed doing our job, if you're allergic to lead, keep your *** off the battlefield.

 

Well said! Thanks for your service!

 

Hoo raah! Salute!

Let me first thank you for the sacrifice you are giving for America. You are though showing your youth on the history end. In the late thirties Hitler was sweeping over Europe, in mortal combat with England, America could not respond because the people wanted isolationism, would not allow us to legally join the war. Our ships were being sunk, but America would not, could not join the forces to put him down. Many went to Canada to join and fight, we did the lend-lease bill to get arms to Europe, but no help from America. It took a major event like Pearl Harbor to get America involved, some two or three years too late. That bit probably cost millions of lives and thousands of ours.

See Americans are a peaceful people and will put on the rose colored glasses to walk in a false sense of security. One day that all comes down and we are getting close. Some major event will transform out populace to go for it and devote all of our energy to taking back freedom, not just for us but for others also. Mistakes will be made, many killed unjustly, but that is war. This new form of terrorism will either back off or there will be a major war to cure the problem. Right now, especially liberals are looking through rose colored glasses, that is way over there, not here, when ti gets here big time, then the minds change. Of course that will all be Bush's fault for waiting, someone has to be the blame.

 

Great post....


I wanted to add something that seems to be forgotten and most seem to not understant the American Government and how it works. Most need to blow the dust off the old highschool history books and read, it is Modern History 101 if you missed it in High School. Read Greek history and how it defeated itself.

Less than 100 years ago, a President had a slip of the tongue, called our system Democracy. A misnomer. We are not a democracy, we are a republic, remember "and to the Republic for which it stands" Democracy amounts to mob rule as was stated on other threads. The forefathers had the fore site to build a system that has checks and balances and still works but is not understood. Does this protect us from mistakes of a monumental nature? Of course not, but overall it has formed the greatest government in the history of the world. We elect representatives to make the decisions for us as we as a group cannot do that on our own. Their job is to make decisions for us to run the country as best THEY know to do. If you don't like the decisions you elect someone else next time. We do not vote on these decisions and not one here, not me, not anyone has the information to disagree with the decisions, even though we may think so.

The Presidents total job in the port deal was to say nothing. That was his job unless he disapproved of it, or disapproved with a decision of congress. Where was the news when China took over the West Coast ports. I bet the president at the time was not involved nor other than reports, even knew much about it.

Americans, I have faith in them. We have had dope problems, liquor problems, wrong wars, banking takeovers, illegal deals on momentous proportions. Then came the forties and so on. We may get to the brink, but I have faith in America that when the timing is right, before a total collapse of our system, America will respond, maybe too much. Remember what the Admiral from Japan said while off the coast of Pearl Harbor "we have just wakened the sleeping giant" See he knew. The Arabs do not yet, but they will. Mexstan has said many times, wake up America, yes, America is asleep. I believe they will wake up when really needed. History will not even record the objection to curing this problem, but it will be done.

 

point made and taken. hey come on now, they don't pay me to think,

 

youre absolutely right, we need to wake up. we have a fight coming and most people sit at home, watch cnn, and think"oh well, that's over there, it has nothing to do with me". from witnessing it first hand, war is not pretty, it sucks, but sometimes it is nescessary. i have no doubt in my mind we will win this war. there's nothing greater than freezing your *** of at night sleeping ina fighting hole, waking up the next morning in 130 degree heat, covered head to toe in sand, and the marines around you still have the abillity to crack a smile. because over there, the little things keep you going. that's the old marine corps spirit right there. things like that make me still have faith in our country and our future. you boys don't have anything to worry about, you are in good hands, oorah


p.s. you guys should join up, i bet you would make great marines
