Because how do you bring in the moral claim of “saving little kids”, which is noble, but yet murder 40 million unborn children. So how it just doesn’t add up morally to me.

You’re right, if the child is not exploitable, kill it says the culture.

can you answer a question for me... do most ordinary americans see iraq as a war? like, you know, the normal type of war were you get casualties and inflict casualities?

Some of us do & some of us don't. I couldn't tell you where most of us would be on that question & I don't think that polling is all that reliable. You could have one person who thinks we're not being aggressive enough & another who thinks we should have never gone into Iraq, both answering the "approval" question in the negative.

or is it just the DNC and media who want to surrender to the islamo-facists after 1 (all respect to him) US soldier is killed?

I don't think too many in the media or DNC actually care about the deaths of any of our guys, but they know most Americans care, so they use any deaths to sell a position... Their position is all about them gaining power & they don't seem to care about the cost. If they can get enough Americans to put their heads in the sand, either the islamo-facists are only our enemy because we're messing around in *their* countries or none of them are actually a threat to us here anyway... so leaving Iraq wouldn't really be surrender. It would be putting a stop to our own "warmongers".

That was my reaction, too. Rather disturbing.

...taking out al Qaeda after liberating Iraq.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU for this accurate description.
  We're fighting al Qaeda, for goodness' sake. We won the battle in Iraq .... and the lefties want us to just walk away.  It'd be like bringing home our troops when they reached the Siegfried Line in 1944.  It's incredible how the lefties don't understand won't acknowledge our victory in Iraq. (1944 analogy: "Gee, the troops went all the way across France, and there are still Nazis. OK, let's bring 'em home.")  It's sickening that they don't see don't care that al Qaeda still exists.  Do you think they could be purposefully blurring the lines between the battle that liberated Iraq and the fighting against al Qaeda that is taking place there now?  I know my answer to that question.

Speaking of "victory", that surely is a word we're not hearing very often.  In 1945, we had V-E (Victory in Europe) Day, and V-J (Victory over Japan) Day.  If the lefties get their way, all we're going to have is L-I (Left Iraq) Day.  I don't imagine that would inspire tickertape parades or honor our heroes.

yeah...on EVERY thread make sure that whatever point you are trying to make about anything at all gets in there.

Oh and don’t ever let anything just be good news...be sure and screw it up with one of your brilliant ‘add ons.” You are self centered...that is what’s wrong with you.

Ha. ...Just once I would like to see a site that has something good in it, without some “brilliant’ downer to ruin a moment to feel good about what we are doing.

guess that is asking too much. I think these types just wait until there is the least little positive thing and have to add their depressing (”oh, but its the truth”) comments.

Ha. Let them stay miserable. We will enjoy a moment or two of hope.

"We will enjoy a moment or two of hope." We can have our torte and eat it, too, can't we? Or what's the use of baking? ; )

I’m thinking that in Iraq in June, shut in a room without windows, that the floor would be much cooler than the cribs.
