Thank them all for their service. I will pray for them.
Many thanks for your prayers. We pray for all of our soldiers wherever they are serving. I’ll pass along your thanks when they next make contact.
Bump.
When I saw this on Drudge, my first thought was that if this country allows such treason from it’s supposed “leaders”, just to score a cheap, transient, political point, we are in even more trouble than I thought. This should be totally unacceptable.
I was channel surfing and landed on beck for a couple of minutes. He had that a-hole dennis leary on, and leary was trying to make sarcastic jokes about how stupid President Bush is. he also stood up for rosie, and beck was laughingly kissing his ass. I don’t want to hear any more nonsense on FR about how “conservative” beck supposedly is.
I am really getting sick of the constant treason in this country, and the fact that it is allowed on public airwaves. I don’t give a damn what beck and leary tell each other when they’re out getting drunk, but it doesn’t belong on the public airwaves.
The Democrat’s Vietnam war cost us 50,000 American lives!
Harry Reid Calls Military Commanders Incompetent
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid showed his support for the American military by calling two of its top leaders “incompetent”. Pandering to liberal bloggers, Reid made the comments in explaining his strategy to make Republican Senators sick of voting on the Iraq war and bludgeoning them into declaring defeat:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called Marine Gen. Peter Pace, the outgoing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, “incompetent” during an interview Tuesday with a group of liberal bloggers, a comment that was never reported.
Reid made similar disparaging remarks about Army Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, said several sources familiar with the interview.
This is but the latest example of how Reid, under pressure from liberal activists to do more to stop the war, is going on the attack against President Bush and his military leaders in anticipation of a September showdown to end U.S. involvement in Iraq, according to Democratic senators and aides.
Reid, who was bashed by Republicans for suggesting earlier this year that the Iraq war was “lost,” is lashing out at top commanders while putting the finishing touches on a plan to force a series of votes on Iraq designed exclusively to make Republicans up for reelection in 2008 go on record in favor of continuing an unpopular war.
So Harry Reid, the man who couldn’t get a supplemental spending bill completed in less than 108 days, is calling Pace and Petraeus incompetent.
That’s the same Harry Reid who couldn’t get the Democrats’ “100 Hours” pledges to fruition in over 120 days and counting. In fact, this is the same Majority Leader that has led the least-accomplished session of Congress in a generation.
And just for the record, it’s the same Harry Reid who insisted that he would never bring back the immigration bill if it failed its cloture test — and then tried for a second cloture, declaring that also a “final” action — and lost again.
That’s the man calling Pace and Petraeus incompetent.
Got it.
