In his latest election-year stunt to undermine the Bush administration -- and our national resolve to finish the job in Iraq -- John Kerry has launched a petition calling for the resignation of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Kerry claims that Secretary Rumsfeld should be held personally responsible for the actions of a few soldiers in Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison who humiliated a group of the captive terrorists in their search for "actionable intelligence." This is the same John F. Kerry, by the way, who has alternately employed claims of his Vietnam wartime heroism and wartime criminality to catapult himself into the highest echelons of public life over the past three decades. Kerry’s irrational call for Rumsfeld’s resignation, harkening back to his days as a Vietnam War protestor, is anything but out of the ordinary for the "gentleman from Massachusetts." His campaign claims that petition has received about 250,000 signatures. Act now to refute this political folly and support Secretary Rumsfeld.

I had a conversation with a teacher in the teacher's lounge today. We talked about Iraqi Prisoner Scandal and the upcoming court martials. He is a young teacher. He doesn't understand why we have Gitmo, why aren't the detainees's called POW's, and how come these detainees can't have legal representation? Bush and his Administration are mean people. He had a real hard time understanding that our enemy does not wear uniforms, work in cells and they are bent to kill innocent people. He still has the old sterotypes about military personnel from Vietnam. Those MP's couldn't find a job out in the civilian world because they have low IQ's. Military rank and file like enlisted personnel who can follow orders without question. I didn't get mad at him. I told him my husband is retired military photographer. We felt the enlisted were pretty smart bunch. The officer's were glad to have sharp service member's under their command. But everyone in the Navy has noticed the low quality of recruits coming into Boot Camp. They might be bright but lacked discipline. Many came from homes and schools that did not encourage self discipline. They have been medicated with Ritlin and fatten up through out their youth. PC crowd discourages the RTC being verbally abusive or to humilate them in front of their peers. The co-ed recruit training was a PC disaster and they put that aside. The Military is a reflection of the civilian community.

I signed this morning via e-mail. Now can you get one up for Senator James Inhofe, Oklahoma? Here is one courageous senator - he told it like it is and how most of America feels....if the pictures show up of prisoners being prodded in the you-know-what, I insist the Clinton cigar be shown as well!
