Ditto!
According to News 9 in NY people are just making ends meet and cannot afford new homes and are shopping less this Christmas. This was just last night. So everything is bad this holiday season!
Yhello!
Mohammed and Abdul?
Yhello Yhello!
".....and we have accomplished exactly what in Iraq? Sure some bad guys became buzzard food? Sadaam will entertain the world by getting his stupid neck stretched .. and rightly so .... but what exactly will we offer the struggling government in Iraq and at what price? How many Americans will die for a country that cannot embrace the concept that this is the year 2006 and people simply cannot hold thousand year old grudges anymore. A new day has dawned...
Pfffftttttt!!!"
Let me educate you a little.
Did you know that in one year in Baghdad alone...500 schools were rebuilt?
That we have rebuilt nearly the entire infrastructure of the country from the ground up? This includes power generation...sanitation and water?
Did you know that we helped a farming community within sight of Baghdad finally get water to the sinks in their houses after waiting 33 YEARS for Saddam to do it?
Did you know that an Artillery Battalion commander and his troops helped rebuild a privately run school for children with Downs Syndrome and then with the help of the Kansas City Down Syndrome Society Chapter started a constant supply of books and clothing to that same school?
Of course you didn't know these things. That's because the DBM chooses to focus on the very small part of what's going on over there and totally ignore the larger picture.
If the American population knew a tenth of the good we're doing over there...your whole meme would get tossed out the window.
In case you don't realize it... obviously, our men and women in the field come here on their downtime... keep that in mind; They think it's worth it and it's their blood being spilled. It's easy to be an armchair general under the freedom the military has provided for us.
And 'our boys', want to stay because they don't want their brothers and sisters to have 'died for nothing', and they don't feel that way... at least the thirty or fourty I talk to daily.
As far as those 'inbred dolts', as you call them, they risked their lives to vote three times... and risk them everyday. They too are human beings.
Do you think the terrorists will go home and play tiddlywinks after we leave? If you think that, you haven't been paying attention to how the jihadis view slinking away with your tail between your legs.
In case you forgot... our troops hands were tied somewhat in WWII as well, I don't have to remind you of how many gave their lives there... or in the islands off Japan.
If you must lower morale, do it with letters to your elected officials or go protest... this is the last place our troops need to hear malaise.
Now i'm sure you'll come back with "I have a right to my opinion"... and you do, what besides ranting here, are you doing about it?
Rush talking about Wal-Mart bomb threat now.
Saw a thread here last night where FReepers around the nation report seeing clerks at their local Wally World dressed in full-out burqa or, at the least, in hiqab... as in my local Target.
Pfft...if traffic on Interstate 75 snd 95 this weekend is any indication of ecnonomic health, we are doing TOO well ;-)
People hear what they want to and disregard the rest.
Unfortuneately people are disregarding the important parts and only hearing the quick and easy parts.
Can't wait for Levin's commentary on the ISG ...
I can't belive there sales down
Call them the JACKASS party...it fits all of them perfectly.
LOL
LOL. I can go with that.
