Sorry folks, but I can no longer lend my support to the War on Terror. I'm tired of being lied to by our elected leadership. What am I talking you about, you ask? Specifically, when I'm a told by the President of the United States, that Islam is a "Religion of Peace".
How am I supposed to square that statement with reality? How am I supposed to support the decision and policies of our government in waging war when our leaders can't even begin to tell the truth about the enemy we're fighting?
If the president fears he may offend someone by telling it like it is, namely that we are at war with Islam, then we may as well pack up and send our troops home.
Although not a great fan of Louis Farrakhan (just between you and me, I think the man is nuts) I viewed a video of the man giving a talk in Fresno some years ago. He made a comment concerning truth, and I paraphrase, "If you're hurt by the truth, then you must be the guilty party".
If the Islamic community is hurt by the truth of their so-caled religion of peace, then they are the guilt party, and until our leaders start telling the truth abou this gutter religion, I'll have to refrain from supporting the cowardly facade they call the War on Terror.
P.S. And for any assclowns who might bemoan and decry that my argument is not supportive of the troops, kiss my grits.
Your arguement is like a child's.
A) I have known good muslims. I had one for a roommate years ago. He wanted nothing more than to stay in the USA & live a life of freedom. He despised the militants that, even in the 70s, were all too common.
B) We cannot do the fighting we need to do if we declare a crusade against islam. We need a muslim reformation to purge their religion from the evil within. That has to be done by muslims. What we can do militarily is provide some breathing room, and try to create a democracy where more muslims will, like my roommate, see the light and agree to a form of islam that requires free submission, not forced.
GWB has many faults. The WOT is not one of them.
How could you and retain the payment from your masters in the Saudi government ?

You make a good argument for your position.
I respect that.
Your support is not really required; the adults will do the thinking for children.
The guy is a Marine who's been here since 1999.
Moderate peace loving muslims are taught to hate infidels and Jews the same as the islamofascits are. The former sympathizes while the latter acts on their teachings.
I guess this means you surrender. Do you want to cut off your own head or wait until they come over here to do it for you?
AMERICAN JIHAD, SCREW ISLAM!
Agreed. It is a dangerous cult. It centers around a charismatic figure who claimed special revelation and uses intimidation to keep its members. That's a definition of a cult. So in defense of the poster -- why the heck are we calling it a religion of peace? It has been violent since the time of Muhammad. If they aren't fighting and trying to kill the "infidel" they are trying to kill one another. Stateside, what Muslim can you trust? Mr. President, Mr. Hannity, Conservative media -- tell the truth. We are at war against a dangerous cult that wants to kill us all.
President Bush called Islam a Religion of Peace after 9-11. Your reaction time is pretty slow.
Would you like some cheese with you whine?
nah. that could mean EARTH. i prefer islamofascists.
I see from your profile that you reside in Saudi Arabia. Why are you there making money from the ROP?
This doesn't make any sense.
You don't support the war on terror because you don't think Islam is a religion of peace?
You're contradicting yourself.
Which fraction would that be? The "Moderate" muslim nation is the minority. Indonesia - radicalized. Iran- radicalized. Libya- radicalized. Syria- radicalized. Good grief, just publish a cartoon- you'll find out how moderate they are. And you won't find any of the moderates standing up to condemn them in 99/100 cases (now there is a fraction for you.) America could win any war against any Muslim nation. But, we would have to keep politics out of it. Take the gloves off and go for it. Our men and women in uniform would win. Israel's would too. They are being restrained. The Muzzies have 3rd world military capability in comparison. But Politics has to come into play -- and here we are.
And that is a hugh, series mistake in spelling.

Then, after the election of GWB, here are unprovoked attacks by the Religion of Peace, Islam, in which innocent civilians, not in uniform, were killed wantonly, in spasms of evil religious motivations:

But - Let’s not forget the 1985 hijacking of the Achille Lauro, during which Abu Abbas murdered wheelchair-bound Leon Klinghoffer - before taking refuge in Iraq.
Let’s not forget the 1983 Bombing of American troops, in their barracks, in Beirut.
Let’s not forget the taking of American hostages, in 1979, held for 444 days.
Let’s not forget the Munich Massacre of 1972.
Let’s not forget The Bojinka Operation of 1995.
So, you little twerp, there is no lie but that of The Religion of Peace, Islam.
Suck blood, since that is what you wish: for us to die at the hands of The Religion of Peace, Islam.
