Thanks to both of you. I just reread my post, and I am already significantly calmer than I was when I wrote it. (Mr. Ohio helped a lot by saying the same things as you did....)

You are absolutely right, Mike. This President has never let me down. I have disagreed with some decisions, but never to the point that I lost any of the trust in him that he had earned by his actions.

Mr. Ohio also told me that there had been contact with some of the Iraqi Generals, and that some of them might agree not to fight......so that might be part of the reason for the delay. I just hate seeing him give ammunition to our enemies by 'insisting' that the vote be made this week, and then letting it go until Monday.

I am NOT a patient person, and sometimes President Bush's patience drives me crazy, but I am going to hang on, keep praying that he receive the wisdom he has prayed for himself, and try to get through the next few days (or weeks) without losing my sanity.

In the meantime the troops and equipment are almost completely in place, and 71% of Americans in some polls think we need to take military action in Iraq, so support for the necessity of this war is growing......which is also a good thing.

Thanks again. I knew I'd get some help here.

I have been doing a lot of reading on past disagreements between France and the UK, and I beginning to believe Chiraq has more of a beef with Tony Blair than he does us. There might just be a power struggle in the EU and Tony Blair has been no big fan of france's position in the EU. This might be an effort to push Tony Blair out of power. I would like to know who is organizing these huge protest in Great Britian and where do they get their money, Something tells me the French are funding these groups?

Im sure Chiraq wasn't too impressed when GWB had Tony Blair be the first foriegn leader ever to sit in for a State of the Union Speech back in 2001, You know how petty those damn Frogs are :-)

I feel exactly like you....I talk to Mike every night and he is getting discouraged(never thought he would feel like this)...he's trying his best to keep his troops spirit up, but he says it's getting harder every day....you can't keep troops at a height of readiness and then sit and wait.

Jonathan withdrew from college and forfeits this semester...he leaves Saturday, I hope he doesn't have to sit around and wait also.

I hate feeling like this, I love our President and trust him, but if he is not going to use our guys, send them home, I need them!
