uhhh... "Quit stabbing them in the back" comes to mind.
Pacifist's Unite!!!!!
Some people have no stamina.
These idiots would rather see stickers like "Turn tail and run."
I'll admit that I don't follow what's happening in Iraq very closely ...I also must admit that my support for the war ( not for the troops mind you ) is dwindling ...Ghosts of Vietnam haunting me in my slumber ...It's time to give the Iraqis THE ultimatum ...
Did we have an exit strategy for WW1 and WW2? It is just the silliest thing to imagine we can have a timeline for a war. War is not like writing a novel or planning a vacation.
susie
Oh really?? Speak for yourself a-hole!!
If we bring our troops home before the mission is complete, there is a good chance Iraq could sink back into what it was before. And all of those soldiers would have died for nothing.
But an Iraqi democracy - that's an accomplishment on a level most of us wouldn't achieve if we live to be 300.
They are always slamming those stickers, they really hate them!
Sort of like they shrink from the flag, like vampires.
Imagine if WWII had been fought this way? Tell Germany and Japan in 1941 how long we plan to be fighting and here's the timetable for our withdrawal.
Here's a novel approach. How about supporting the effort and doing what needs to be done until it's accomplished? In my book, that might include actions in Syria and Iran.
The two "Support the Troops" stickers are probably why I have had some truly ugly loking people tailgating me lately.
Just like Vampires they will such every ounce of red blood you
have.
Reggie Rivers isn't worth getting upset over. He's an ex-Bronco football player, not failed but wasn't on the team all that long. He has few people reading his column and fewer listening to his radio program. He's one of our token liberals on radio and loved by the liberal Denver Post.
Our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan are doing what has to be done.
I WOULD like to see troops NOT where they AREN'T needed. Why do we needs tens of thousands of troops sitting idle in Germany? They admit that there is nothing for them to do. They AREN'T the Iraq feeder troops either. They sit there, old-USSR, NATO style, doing absolutely nothing.
However, I DO agree with your assessment of the author. It's just more butthump from the 4th estate.
LOL. I know what you mean.
You should try having a "BUSH/CHENEY" sticker on your car in the San Francisco bay area. Fingers and glares. Harhar.
Had someone try to bash my window out because of the Bush Cheney window cling I had.
Had to take that down as I can't afford to keep replacing windows and fixing dents.
It's infuriating to me that liberals wrap themselves in the mantle of patriotism and support for the troops by demanding "bring them home".
Of course, we would love for our family members to be home and out of harm's way. But I can tell you, that when most military people are actually home, they itch to get back into the fight. They want to be where the action is and to be doing what they were trained to do.
Of course, none of them want war but they are ready, willing and able to do what has to be done unless and until their services are no longer required.
Who is 'they'?
