[kattracks]

Just days ago, I was in Iraq with Marines and soldiers who have left their families to defeat terrorists. They are defending America's interests and safety, building a democracy and befriending the Iraqi people. It's a difficult job, no doubt about it. These young men and women -- America's finest -- work long hours of tough, physical labor in the hot sun, sometimes for days before they get to shower or sleep.

Thanks to Ollie for providing perspective....again....

[Bahbah]

Don't want yu to miss this one. Happy Mother's Day.

I was just thinking of Ollie North yesterday and wondering what he would say about this matter.

True to form, he has highlighted our successes which should, in a fair and just world, outweigh the abuses by a sadistic few.

Ollie North is a true patriot and loves our soldiers; it comes through in his every word and gesture.

Oliver North is an American treasure. God bless him in his work.

After theSeptember 11, 2001, terrorist attacks against the United States, I visited the Pentagon and Ground Zero at the World Trade Center in New York City. I've met some of the families whose lives changed forever that day.

While we're bringing unrelated events into the prison torture and rape story, let's remember Pearl Harbor too, and the sinking of the Titanic too, for that matter.

Thank you, kattracks.

The current slander of our entire military by the pols/press would be laughable, if it weren't so heartbreakingly cruel to those paying the price in Iraq - who were just put in greater danger by these dishonest partisans.

Ollie is a national treasure, and if it took facing the vultures during Iran Contra to strengthen him for his work lifting up the troops today, we should thank the accusers, and pray for similar courage in the public square - and personal growth - for other young troops, unjustly smeared today...potential future leaders of the free world.

Most of these young Americans are in their early 20's. They are responsible for hundreds of millions of dollars worth of equipment and the lives of their fellow soldiers and Marines. If that weren't enough, they also carry on their shoulders the hopes and dreams of Iraqi citizens who yearn for freedom and safety after years of torture and oppression under Saddam Hussein. It's a lot of responsibility for them. After all, the biggest decision of their peers back home is what movie to see on Friday night.

        Back home, there is nothing but a relentless stream of pessimism and criticism from the media and Congress who have put their indignation into high gear after seeing photographs of U.S. soldiers mistreating Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. The media's "compassion" for these imprisoned miscreants and suspected terrorists is a front for their journalistic jihad against the administration.

Col. North, blurry screen - take a stand, phone your Senator, write a letter to the editor, send a message of support to our troops - alert!

Let's face it the Liberals and the media hate our military and the Country it defends. They spit on the very people and institutions that pay for their right to bitch and moan.

[McGavin999]

This is called putting things in context.

. I have seen Marines give their last Meals Ready to Eat to hungry Iraqi children.

That's no sacrifice. Have you ever eaten an MRE? ;-)

[SandRat]

Did you notice that the RATS/media continue to call the prison situation an atrocity but 9/11 is a merely a tragedy?

There's the real clue as to where the media and the RATS loyalty really lies.

Bump to that. Doesnt the media even think that we can see through their phony facade?

Oliver North is a hero of mine ~ Bump!

We are winning ~ the bad guys are losing ~ trolls, terrorists, democrats and the mainstream media are sad ~ very sad!

Dagnabbit, dagnabbit come on.

If 911 never happened there would be no American prison guards in Iraq.
