I'm fed up with the lie that these activists love the troops, but hate the war. No, you hate the troops as well

My two cents: this war would have been over years ago if it weren't for the anti-war movement, and the press. Every time some jerk in Iraq carries out a suicide bombing, it's presented to the world by the press not as a random act by a nut, or group of nuts, but as evidence of an intractable quagmire. Anti-war marchers in the States then take to the streets and the press covers that, too. Aspiring nuts in Iraq see all this on CNN, conclude that suicide bombings work, and decide to carry out more suicide bombings, and the war (really the clean-up after the war, because our much-maligned troops won this war a long time ago) is perpetuated.

The anti-war movement is thus the pro-war movement.

And of course, Iran has got its hands in the pot, too.

"I'm fed up with the lie that these activists love the troops, but hate the war. No, you hate the troops as well.

You don't want us redeployed. You want us unemployed.

Dissent is not the highest form of patriotism. The highest form of dissent, however, is treason."

leftist scum couldn't give a rats @$$ about the troops. they make me sick!!!
