I merely asked you what you thought the effect of his comments have been on our Marines and on the terrorists who kill our Marines. Do you not know? Do you not care?
It's okay to use common sense in forming this opinion.
Unlike you and others on the forum I wouldn't presume to know what the effect is on American Servicemen. My sense is that few are sitting around waiting to hear what an individual congressman is saying about the war. Most are more concerned about the deployment tempo and how much (or little) time they are able to spend with their family.
I take W at his word when he says he welcomes the debate. "Common Sense" tells me we should all welcome Free Speech and open debate on the subject.
Do I care? Stupid question.
