I'm affraid that we have lost our solidarity because only so many of our people realize the true danger we are in; because the MSM media uses "censorship by omission" and we have become soft and complacent beyond belief, to name a few reasons. When this country goes down, it will be the most senseless and grandest in scale loss in the history of the world. And those who take everything for granted will be most shocked and deserving.

As long as we have the media trumpeting the likes of Obama, Clinton, Kerry, Pelosi. Reid, Kennedy etc.

We do not have a chance to save our country!

The soldier needs to ask Howard Dean, Jon Carry, and Nancy Pelosi why they've fed the anti war left.

Oh, I wasn't accusing you. I was thinking more of the usual suspects--we all know who they are.

Yes it was a holy place but the enemy was inside so we sent some 1300 B17s to turn it inside out.

Everytime Don Rumsfeld opens his mouth my level of respect for him goes up and my level of respect for the President that fired him goes down. I am of the opinion that President Bush fired Don Rumsfeld.

People were granting moral equivalence to the Soviet Union – a vicious dictatorship – in the free countries of Western Europe and the United States. People can drift off.”

The same is true today, Rumsfeld said. There are many who believe that governments can negotiate with terrorists or who believe if just left alone, they will somehow leave freedom-loving people alone. But that is not possible, Rumsfeld said. “The dangers today, the lethality of the weapons today, the risks to our country, are real,” he said.

Bump!

Sure don't see that kind of clear-headeness and sense of history amongst the ISG.

Rummy and Bolton were t he last good members of the Cabinet and near-Cabinet appointees...that leaves only Vice-President Dick Cheney with any real redeeming character in the outfit.

"Sadly, soldier, I don't know where our solidarity went. Where does light go when you blow out a candle? I can only tell you WHY it went, and WHO killed it. It was beaten down by the people who now occupy the majority position in our Congress."

Allow me to introduce myself: I am "Concerned".

I am also wondering where all of the unity in the parties went, and why it seemed to disappear so fast after 9/11.
