General Odom clearly explained in the television interview last night, why he was not more publicly vocal earlier.

Sure... because things were quiet earlier. I am tired of all the Monday Morning Quarterbacking.

Unless you have an argument against his argument, that is simply another snide comment. That, by the way, is certainly not the reason he did not go public earlier.

The fact is that our policy--the President's announced policy in the State of The Union--serves to confirm the worst charge that our real enemies have made against us, that we have been trying to impose our cultural values on the Arab peoples. It is sheer folly to think that giving the real terrorists the confirmation they seek, to help them recruit, helps America--and the only interest we have a right to be seeking is the American interest.

I could go further and comment on the absurdity of our taxing the American people to rebuild an oil rich land, but that opens up a whole other discussion.

Hello Folks and Happy Friday!

At least to those of us enjoying FREEDOM over HERE--while those who ( hopefully a very large majority of service-people and Reservists) VOLUNTEERED to protect America spend their Friday in a dust bowl of a place.

My question has always been simple:
Afghanistan and IRAQ had to be "Dealt" with in some manner--

If not NOW: under the closest we can get to a Conservative/willing president to TAKE action and NOT run form it.

And if NOT with OUR ARMIES--with What?? harsh Words??

And my question: general or no General giving "IMPUT"--

- I guess we are IN THERE now...right..well..LIKE SOMEONE SAID--NO MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACKING..RIGHT??

I guess sooner or later we have to leave...right??

Do we leave IMMEDIATELY like Kerry TALKS about--but knows we can't--OR

Do we leave under OUR terms that hopefully will be BEST for OUR SECURITY NEEDS= OUR security needs; which is why I think why in the LONG long run and short run we are there.

BUT either way--- WILL IT MATTER HOW WE LEAVE??????????

We will still be friends and support the only other close-to-Democracy country there: Isreal--Right??

We could LEAVE NOW!! GIVE BACK all the found saddam money!!

HELL!! even RETURN SADDAM and have Al Qaeda dancing in the streets...right??

We will STILL be the target of THEIR expansion of THEIR GOALS of a world run by RADICAL IMANS---and their plans of pushing Isreal into the sea--and any other 'Friends of my enemies' as they call us too??

So--isn't it--AT THIS POINT IN HISTORY NOW---UP TO US TO DO THE BEST AND STAY --INFLICT AS MUCH DAMAGE ON THEM--OVER
T H E R E RATHER THAN HAVE THAT MANY MORE TERRORIST S T I L L ALIVE IF WE DID NOTHING??

SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE AN AWEFUL LOT OF THEM--BUT, ALL SURROUNDED IN FALLUJA--ISN'T THAT A GOOD PLACE FOR THEM TO BE??

Like I have told many here--I am in High School--but I READ ALOT!!!--and maybe some of my views are very simple--
but---isn't that how it should be??

I believe in backing who will make us MORE SECURE using ANY MEANS our country has,
I believe that--in a time of war like NOW---we should ALL support our Troops and president--and if you have misgivings--GO TO THE PRESIDENT!! NOT to the Press or ex-allies.

And I would really LIKE to see NO poltitics UNTIL the war is finished--seeing how even to me--a student--I am DISGUSTED by these Screaming and yelling SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN that you would think care MORE abot what they say--than how many 'Points" they think their Liberal Party can make in the LIBERAL MEDIA.

Am I wrong about "Them there terrorist" hating us anyhow?
Am I wrong that, like Hitler and Nazi germany--if they were stopped NOW more Iraqis/others and sooner or later more AMERICANS will be killed?

And am I wrong that general or Hollystar--you have something to say--if there is ANY CHANCE at ONE IN A BILLION it could aid the enemy in any way--or hurt our country or troops in anyway--those comments should NOT BE SAID in PUBLIC even if right??

This Hillary Clinton too?!?! Her Screaming and Ted Kennedy Screaming??!?

Did THEY scream like THAT CONDEMING the Terrorists??

Well--just my two bits--sorry for going on for so long--

I got class mates who think that Gorelick was "...a finalist on 'The Apprentice'.. so you know why I steam and rant and rave here myself!!! Airborn:the younger one!
