After back-tracking a couple of posts, I now completely understand the context in which you said it.

I agree with your sentiments entirely.

Thanks!

Hey. The only thing we can do is turn them off. Stay informed. Stay on the web. Tune into Fox (at least it's an alternative, and Brit Hume is definitely worthy of support.) Keep reading. It's changing.

Well he never got to go to college, but he did go out to Cali to see the Rose Bowl. They were men of few words, but they were courageous and without them we would be speaking German or Japanese.

No problem.

I understand out of context as a stand alone post it can be seen quite differently than intended. :-)

The word "disconnect" seems to be the key word with
the left wing. It is already old
For all you DU folks lurking, you gotta think up a
new one. You're not even clever

I have a very strong feeling these orders came from Bushes' administration, the WH...'cause of ...

I heard somewhere today, probably Mara Liasson on Brit, whining that with a Military audience they would be very enthusiastic about the President blahblahblah ...

Foiled again, would be my opinion. They (aka Karl Rove) know what the reactions will be and try to stop them before they happen.

Great job Mr. President!

My Dad's first night in Europe in WWII was spent lowering American casualties down hillsides in the Ardennes. His recollections include high concern that he and his counterpart might give the injured soldiers a bumpy litter ride. He remembers high snow drifts, the unbelievable cold, and the SNAFU that their winter white uniforms hadn't arrived, making them great targets in army green.

I'm fortunate that he wrote out his experiences while serving in the occupation in 1946. He's always discussed his experiences if we asked the right questions, and he mentioned his fallen buddies so often that I know their names by heart.

Wow, God bless your dad! Please thank him for his service. If I recall rightly, my father-in-law was in the Solomon Islands near where JFK was. But he never said they met!

The intitial CNN report from Ft. Bragg at the conclusion of the speech was focused primarily on the type of crowd that the speech was given in front of, how their cheers would have given the appearance of nothing more than a cheesy campaign rally and how it would have not been helpful to the President.

It was obvious that the script was already written to describe a racous crowd......the next on scene report fixated on the # of times the President referred to 9/11 (6) and how that was going to be perceived as using 9/11 for political purposes.

After all the carping from the left, about the "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" banner which hung behind a previous speech, I took careful note of the SILENCE to which the President walked out before his speech tonight, at Fort Bragg.

You had to know that the MSM idiots would start yapping about this. They can't have it both ways.

Dad is just now talking about his experience and has given me permission to take the trunk of letters he and mother wrote back and forth and compile them for the family. They wrote daily so it will be a monumental job! I have no idea where to begin....Actually think it might make a good book.

He just gets so emotional with the troops .. you can tell his eyes are still filled up here. God bless him for his love and respect of the troops ... and they love him back. You just know it weighs heavily on his heart.

Wesley has now amended his contract with foxnews to demand he not appear opposite Hume who didn't let him get away with as much as Kerry is allowed to on CNN.

Too funny. Brit Hume is the BEST by far in his field.

Thank you for the wonderful photo of our PRESIDENT and your great comments. I had the definite impression he had a heavy heart through the entire speech.

I am sure spending time with the families of the fallen prior to his deliverance was a huge factor, if not the only.
