What do you the White House to do? Get real, this is war.
What do you want the White House to do? Get real, this is war.
What is this photo? Is this supposed to be one of our soldiers ?!
And lets not forget about the one soldier who died in that attack.
Military Searches Triangle of Death for Missing Soldiers
A quick reaction force reached the scene within 15 minutes, found the dead soldier but not the other two.
It was..but it is actually a doll.
Dear God, please watch over these soldiers in this dark hour...
Already said what I expect from the White House. They need to get in front of this story.
We are loosing the war at home. The home front is their responsibility.
Didn't think so.
Get out in front this story in what way. Go ahead and explain.
<< The most important thing is to save the soldiers. >>
The ONLY important thing is to not be swayed in our resolve to at all costs emerge victorious from this and any and all other battles and any and all other wars.
When the Iraq phase of our war on islamafascism is over we must be able to recall we were willing to do whatever it took to win.
Which will include our having remembered that soldiers are there, first, to save, not be saved.
You don't need to be worrying about me. It's skunks like Murtha that are the problem.
Hope were not about to be in for a couple of video beheadings again. Wouldn't surprise me if we were.
They need to explain to the public that this is war and this happens in war. That we are winning and because we are winning the enemy is conentrating on making PR moves (that this is one of them). That we at home have a job to do and that is to be strong and support the effort..... on and on and on... everything they haven't been doing the last 3 years.
They also can start promoting patriotic events.
Thank you for the perspective.
I appreciate all your hard work.
That's what CNN, The AP, Al Jazeera, and the rest all claimed when it was released by a Jihadi web site. It turned out to be a GI Joe doll.
Islamic Web site claims U.S. soldier captured, threat to behead him unless Iraqis are released
Nice of CNN to include that link.
The majority of "Real Voters" (Not the general public, and not a poll of "adults") understand that these things happen in wars and understand that we are winning the war in Iraq. That is what matters, it is a majority of voters that keep us in power and keep us winning this war, and that is all what matters.
I dont think anyone can question this presidents dedication to the troops, thats a no brainer
