Oxygen is too good for Jimmy Carter. He is a enemy to this country. The only way to prevent the destruction of our military is to make sure that men like Carter and Clinton never get elected again. Clark is one of their ilk, but he is self-destructing without any help. Conservatives need to just get tough again, and stop listening to the other side. If I have one fault with Bush, it would be sticking 'compassionate' in front of Conservative.

It's shocking to many Americans, who don't know jack sh** about the military, and could care less about it 'til the enemy's at the gate. This is the price we pay for having a smaller and smaller proportion of our population that has military experience. This is the price we pay for the national mindset that's been cultivated since 1974, that military service is for the other guy. The birds are coming home to roost.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

It wouldn't take a genius to understand that tanks get a lot of wear from sand. I'm sure even the densest people in the Pentagon (leftover clintonoids who are being kept out of the chain of command) understand that. We already fought over some of this ground with armor in the first Gulf War. Not to speak of the campaign against Rommell.
This pretend news article is nothing but sick propaganda, part of the major media campaign to try to wear down Bush's poll numbers. AP, Reuters, and the other usual suspects should be ashamed of themselves. Unfortunately they lack consciences or a professional sense of responsibility.

* The decision to require 12-month tours for all troops in Iraq, including reservists. When the 3rd Infantry Division and the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force conquered Baghdad in early April, those troops thought the war was over and they would be headed home in a matter of weeks. Instead they stayed for months, and their replacements will serve even longer.Sick leftist bad propaganda, Tokyo Rose of our time.
Must be countered and neutralized.
The fate of our nation depends on it.

At the risk of sounding insensitive.....Money doesn't appear to be a problem here.
Remarks by Governor Ben S. BernankeBefore the National Economists Club, Washington, D.C.
November 21, 2002
"Like gold, U.S. dollars have value only to the extent that they are strictly limited in supply. But the U.S. government has a technology, called a printing press (or, today, its electronic equivalent), that allows it to produce as many U.S. dollars as it wishes at essentially no cost. By increasing the number of U.S. dollars in circulation, or even by credibly threatening to do so, the U.S. government can also reduce the value of a dollar in terms of goods and services, which is equivalent to raising the prices in dollars of those goods and services."
Unlimited dollars created from nothing, backed by nothing......what a concept !!
There is no excuse for not spending whatever it takes at any moment in history.... multiple double negatives noted.

Hey, you guys should not be thanking me. Serving our country is an honor. I had a dream job, and I loved every minute of it. I thank you folks who paid for it.
Well, I was going to thank you for your service, but...
Instead, let me thank you for Post #16. ;o)
