It's also wrong of JUNIOR to call our Troops in the ME, OIL COPS. Which means he thinks they are there because of our need for oil, not for the WOT.

Ford says troop morale high in Iraq According to this, we oil cops are too stupid to know how terrible Iraq is:

After making his fourth trip to observe conditions in Iraq, U.S. Senate hopeful Harold Ford Jr. reported Thursday that U.S. troop morale is "high" and soldiers are not in favor of a quick pullout.

"Troops are excited about the progress being made," the Memphis Democrat told reporters during a teleconference. "They are more concerned about America and U.S. policymakers getting the policy right on the ground and are more concerned about doing their jobs. They don't believe we should leave prematurely because there are fears that if we do, their kids will have to come back and fight this war."

Well this bit of Ford hypocrisy does not quite square with what he has said in the past:

"There's no need to overstate the progress we're making on the ground," Ford told The Associated Press yesterday. "You [Presient Bush] risk losing America's confidence."

...Ford said yesterday that the United States needed a better international image to earn the support of allies while fighting terrorism.

The progress we have made in Iraq is undeniable.

Thanks. I'll try to use this to post a new thread.

Such pompous asses as Kerry and the anonymous writer of this editorial,no doubt have the same contemptuous attitude toward Firemen, Policemen, Mechanics, construction workers, plumbers, cooks and everyone else who chooses professions where they may work with their hands as well as their brains.

The fact of todays Military members is that on average they are much better educated than others in their age category.

There was only one time in recent history that the Military had a member more ignorant than theses blue nose snobs. That was during the few months a certain elitist dip sh*t spent among the ranks of America's finest.

It just so happened that today my mother called to cancel her Tennesseean subscription. She had not read this editorial.

The person on the phone asked why she was cancelling. She replied that the Tennesseean is too liberal. The person asked if there was something specific in today's paper which caused my mom to want to cancel. My mom said no, there wasn't.

Shortly after that phone conversation my mom read the editorial and realized that the Tennesseean must be getting a lot of heat for this article.

This cannot help Jr. either.
