We are at WAR! And these brave men died in a just and noble cause. Using threads like this to say "I told you so" like mean little children is disgusting.

Excellent post and pay no attantion to that nasty response you got from one of the clueless.

The fact that he felt the need to sling insults is a clear indiation that he feels defeated.

Well done. ;-)

We're known by the company that we keep....so if icon wants to call us names....well, were in pretty darned good company with Allegra et al.

I'm proud to be a member of the Dumb Cow Club with the two of you. ;-)

The reason I have not responded directly to that childish diatribe that You-Know-Who delievered is explained in my tagline.

Mooooooooooooo!

Your time should be getting short...

I should be home to stay in early November. In the meantime I am earning an extra $1K a month for being over my 24 month deployment limit. I like the duty and I am having more fun now than last time. Good luck to your husband.

What could be more noble & just that keeping America safe while also also giving a first precious taste of freedom to those Afghanis & Iraqis?

In a word..........NOTHING.

And the soldiers........at least the vast majority of them know what they've done there, and know their mission is just, and nearly 80% of present military personnel voted for their Commander in Chief in November. That says a LOT about what kind of support they have for him.

All the foul language and hateful diatribes in the world can't change those facts. As painful as these deaths are, they were not in vain, because we will finish this mission, and we will WIN.

I read panicky, over-the-top, Chicken Little posts like yours and I thank God someone steady and focused like George W. Bush is in charge. Let me repeat myself so you get the point unmistakably and clearly: I thank God someone steady and focused like George W. Bush is in charge.

To my mind it is no accident that George W. Bush is in charge. God still loves this nation sufficiently, sees great value in its idealism and commitment to freedom not just for itself but others, that He blessed us with a leader who would honorably and faithfully fulfill its commitments and prove worthy of the great abundance and talents bequeathed upon it. Gore, like Clinton, would have shirked from the task, allowing this global terror to set its foul roots ever deeper and stronger.

Your kind always pops up to undermine morale in any worthy struggle. You were at Valley Forge, at Second Mannassas, at Dunkirk, and at Tet striving with all your energy to insinuate hopelessness, defeatism, and rebellion among good men in peril. You and Jane Fonda are agents of the enemy, perhaps their most effective weapon on this side of the line. You do a grave disservice to the great Marines and soldiers who have willingly and courageously sacrificed their lives. You insult them and soil the memory of the noble giving of their last full measure. You buoy up the morale of a vicious enemy and encourage them to kill ever more of our men and women in uniform.

But we will persevere despite your efforts.

I too am sick, sick of Americans daily giving their lives in a pointless, futile quagmire while the real bad guys smirk and recruit from Pakistan.

I'm sick of having my patriotism impugned by sycophantic sheep.

Thankfully, your God's special envoy to America will be gone in three more years ..... unless the law is changed, anything is possible with this administration.

Proud to be a Bushbot.

Better than being just another Bush hater. Bush has the tenacity to fight the terrorists and I'm glad about that. I guess he forgets we have a volunteer military and they choose to serve. Thank God for our military men and women.

You know what is the thread that ties all Bush haters together, both left and extreme right? (Example above).

Irrational anger. Read his posts and you don't see reasoned thought. You see lashing out at Bush and lashing out at anyone who supports him (and name calling in extremis). Not a single coherent thought. Just anger.

And if you read columns, or hear commentary from leftists who are anti-war about the President, you hear the exact same thing. Angry nothingness. Name calling junk. Quagmire. We support the troops but.....

It's all garbage from both sides. Pitiful

Do you Bushie types ever post anything except tired little comebacks that only you think are clever.

If there were a single one of you that could post something with a crumb of a thought in it then there might be a tiny hope for you all.

But, then I guess that one would have taken the first step away from Bushihood.

Concerning Monday's tribute, I will be there. There will also be calling hours this week for the marine from Tallmadge, an Akron suburb. I believe thursday there will be a funeral procession through the streets of Tallmadge where the public is encouraged to line the streets.

I blame our Commander-in-Chief for these lives lost needlessly.
1000 Iraqis are not worth the blood of one American boy.
The Marines should never be sent in until the enemy has been bombed into the stone age.
Send in the Marines to mop up after that.
What the hell do we have an Air Force for?
