Do really mean glibness? If so, your mind is easily boggled.
I took exactly the same stance on the Viet Nam debacle. Neither I nor any other American "won" there either
I wouldn't change your stance for all the tea in China. Indeed, I encourage you to stand tall and speak your voice loud and clear.
The saddest losers were the parents of the kids that gave their lives in vain for old men far too willing to put them in peril.
Parents are always losers when their children die before them, in or out of wars.
May god save you from that fate.
God save me, and everyone else, from an epitaph you might write. I prefer mine written by those who do not see the world through a glass darkly.
My youngest brother chose Armor. The middle brother chose to enlist in the Air Force. The other two decided three of us in uniform was more than enough family representatkon!
But you're right, you never can tell.
These centers are nothing but socially constructed realities which constitute themselves in their own images and likenesses for their own self-aggrandizement. Get a letterhead with the words "center for" on it and any piece of crap you put on the letterhead paper is on the fast-track to publication in the main-stream media. As WS said, "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
You're darn right I'm sticking up for the President, and I don't apologize for it.
Even the biased MSM polls show Republicans favor the President's handling of Iraq by 85-15, but it sure seems like there are more than 15% of Freepers trying to be critical of him. Maybe the complainers are just the loudest.
And if being on President Bush's side makes me a Bushbot, them I'm a Bushbot.
Or, gets them an attribution in support of some lame statement in some lame editorial.
That number is hard to reconcile. Where did you get it?
The public also is showing concerns about the direction of the country as the war in Iraq drags on. Only about one-third of adults, 35 percent, said they thought the country was headed in the right direction. Forty-one percent said they supported Bush's handling of the war in Iraq, also a low-water mark.
