However, those birthday gifts have been pretty funny, especially since Julian doesn't get that some of them are insulting.

Like the set of Golf Balls? :-D

MAJOR JOHN TAMMES, an Illinois National Guardsman recently returned from Afghanistan, responds to Rep. Murtha's "broken army" comments:

Unmitigated crap. And I don't say this out of defensiveness or service pride - I'll tell you about how far we have had to come in a bit. First, though, a little material for you to mull over.

The US Army is quite open about how it works, what it sees for its future, what it has been told to do in the future by the civilian authorities we serve. You can see its budget, strength, recruiting, retention, doctrine and philosophy. And not just official sources. US Army Soldiers tell the world about things that go right and wrong. Also, what we do on our own.

.........The Inner Prop and I served in Operation Enduring Freedom V (Afghanistan, March 2004-March 2005). We stood at the end of the longest sustained supply line in the history of human conflict. We were in war-torn Central Asia. Af-frickin'-ghanistan. We had decent food, e-mail, phone (OK, sometimes they weren't always working, but almost all the time) excellent medical support, good pay, regular (if slow) mail. We had a PXs at most of the larger bases, and coffee places sprang up too. We had so damned much ammunition that we needed to build a bigger ammunition supply point at Bagram, AF. We had so many vehicles that we were constantly squabbling over where to put them all - and we had enough up-armored ones too. Our supply warehouses were stuffed with clothing, boots, body armor and the like. "Living hand to mouth" is the worst lie of the bunch.

The constant stream of re-enlistments was a revelation to me. When I was the Executive Officer of the garrison at Bagram Airfield (a job I gladly traded away after 5 months) I had to find room to more than double the size of the Retention Office. I personally administered the oath of re-enlistment to an E-5 and an E-7. The E-5 was a mother of two young children and the E-7 was eligible to retire when we got home!

Broken? Hardly. Is it difficult work? Yes. Do not mistake hard work for foundering. Respectfully, Rep. Murtha - you are wrong. Dead wrong.

Good morning seems Hadley is doing the rounds for the Administration and normal service is resumed with McCain on one of the show.

Once again thanks for your work in pulling together the thread

Be nice to Julian. He is a perfect example of FNC weekend programming, makes you appreciate the rest of the week. Besides it's hard to get it right when your i.q. approaches your age.

McCain Doesn't Speak For All POWs

Time and again, the major media delight in featuring Senator John McCain's opinions as representative of our POW's from the Vietnam War, especially when they concur with liberal viewpoints. This is, actually, not so, now about corecive interrogations that McCain would make blanket illegal.

Here's a letter from a POW, 7 1/2 years subjected to North Vietnamese imprisonment, a superior officer whose cell he shared, also citing the superior officer of all POW's and a POW Congressman.

Do whatever it takes to make terrorists talk I unequivocally disagree with Sen. John McCain's view that the U.S should ban torture. We must not hamstring the CIA in its efforts to get information from high-ranking terrorists on which our very survival may depend. Our lofty ideals, our constant thinking that we are the good guys who refuse to fight this enemy with every weapon at our disposal, is all wrong and pathetically naive. We should do whatever it takes -- yes, fight them, down and dirty -- to show our enemies that they can't mess with us and get away with it. I know McCain very well, having lived with him for two years as a prisoner of war in Hanoi, North Vietnam. I'm disappointed that he has no party loyalty and that he has become a media darling and the consummate politician. I just spoke to Col. Bud Day, Medal of Honor winner in Vietnam. He also feels that McCain is way off base. So does U.S. Rep. Sam Johnson, another Hanoi ex-POW. Politicizing the war in Iraq is an ugly stunt and is all about party power. Isn't it about time to give our president the benefit of any doubt, and show him some loyalty?

Its crazy in my book what has happened is no better or worse than paying someone to appear on a show to give their point of view on something. The media would not call that propaganda especially if it coincided with their view.

HI snugs, welcome to the fray. Did you read about the required delays in healthcare in the UK now?

Just amazing how socialized medicine works.

Morning rodguy911.

It is funny how McCain gets incredible press when he disagrees with the administration, but when Joe Lieberman disagrees with the leaders in the Democratic party, he is largely ignored.

While Murtha's comments xeroxed all over by the media, Lieberman's comments sent to the shreddar.

But, we in the new media got a bigger xerox than them.
