"NATALIE MAINES: …we support the troops"

Sorry, you cannot "Support the troops" without supporting the Commander-In-Chief. You are either lying, or very uneducated about the U.S. form of government.

Sorry, you cannot "Support the troops" without supporting the Commander-In-Chief.

I emphatically disagree.

When the U.S. military was sent to Haiti, and to Kosovo, I did NOT support the Commander-in-Chief, not even a little bit.

But I supported the troops. If anyone shot at any of them, I wanted our troops to shoot back, and take him out.

I wanted our troops to win, to have a total victory, and to come home.

Yet I never, at any second, supported Bill Clinton as Commander-in-Chief. My contempt for him and my disgust with his sending them on missions that I thought had nothing to do with U.S. security or U.S. interests was profound and complete.

Amen to that. Just by saying the you support the troops does not mean that you do. These chicks need Johnny Cochran to get them out of this one.

I believe that most of the troops actually think they are doing the right thing over there. So, since the DC's disagree with the troops' own convictions on this, the DC's are really not in reality supporting the troops.

That goes for everyone on the Left who pretends to be supporting the troops.

Seems like regardless of all the dumb statements, Maines remains ashamed that her President is from Texas.

you can't "support the troops" without supporting the mission. Does she support the mission? In that case her statement was about her hatred of Bush not anything else. (remember they openly refused playing at the presidential inaguaration in 2000. Said some nasty things in rejecting the invite.)

BTW anyone have a image still of maines driking from a bidet from one of their commercials on CMT?

Kosovo? Somalia? Bells ringing? I wholeheartedly support the troops in those cases however I did not support the decisions made by the CIC. Oh, but he was a Democrat, so that makes it alright then, is that it?
