He said military capabilities of the army's missile units are so high that they can defend each and every part of the country.

Yeah, I know. I'm praying their reawakening won't be too brutal.
They are going to light their fatwas en masse!
Well .... here's the one that's still on the drawing boards but I'm sure it's coming ....
That's a tough one. I don't mingle with the folks I see on the news every day much. There's one anti-war person where I work but I think even she's starting to come around.
I had a run in with another co worker who said she 'supports the troops but not what they're doing.' I asked her if that meant she wanted our guys to lose.
Haven't heard much out of her since that.
I know I'm 100% behind what you're doing. This is a threat every bit as deadly as the one we faced in 1939, maybe more. Anyone who doesn't understand that I pretty much classify as a fool. And you know I don't suffer those gladly.
I'm glad to hear you're well. You watch your back over there. Remember, the enemy is anyone who can get you killed.

hmmm - and I always thought that MOAB stood for Mean Ol' American Bomb, LOL.
I went down to Walter Reed with the Freepers last month, and I will say...the vast majority (98%) of people driving by gave very positive responses to the signs supporting the troops and the missions overseas.
I must say...being from Massachusetts, I was very, very heartened by that response.
Just returned from Disney World with my daughter and in Epcot at the US Pavilian, one of the hottest selling items were the bears dressed in military outfits. I bought one for my daughter and son-in-law of the Navy bear which was almost sold out. The Clerk said they cannot keep them in stock along with the Mickey Mouse holding the American flag.
In Oklahoma we support the military but everywhere we drove there were signs of people supporting the military. I felt really great driving through the states from OK to FL not along the Gulf Coast. We stopped at Graceland in Memphis and watched a live show and the biggest applause of the night came when the American flag was dropped down from the ceiling to patriotic music.
I believe in my heart that a lot more Americans stand with you all then the media wants everyone to believe. My son-in-law was in Iraq with the Navy and my daughter was deployed with the Navy to Sicily last year. Both said when people find out today they were overseas, they get thanked by ordinary people like me for their service to our country.
Very proud of all of you and the job you are doing there to protect us here at home.
God Bless you and everyone serving with you!
"...but does Bush have the guts to fight this war in such a way the we kick the crap out of our enemy or does he keep playing around?"
No he does not, and if he did, there is no one in Congress (even Republicans), that would support him.
