Scott

before I flame you, I need to know if your referring to the loss of another American soldier in a less than heroic tone.

C'mon hate-America, liberal Scott, answer the question, newbie®.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

You're right Scott...we need to pull our troops out and leave this political war clearly prosecuted by a President trying to avenge his father and make Cheney's company rich

I hope that once we've pulled out, you're not the first one to feel the effects of a homeland terrorist attack.

All  is  well, safely rest.
God is high.

As we go, this we know,
God is nigh.
