An Accidental Redial Lets Oregon Couple Listen In On Their Son's Afghanistan Firefight

[b0ludo]

Thank God for heroes like Sgt. Phillips, who continue to bring the fight to those who killed our innocent civilians at the WTC. Thanks for keeping those godless thugs away from our kids. Thank God also for the heroes at home, like the Petees... Thanks, Sgt. Phillips, and give them plenty of steel!!!

[grammawhamma]

Of course this would be horrid for the parents to hear...but what do they think their son is doing in Afghanistan, playing checkers all day?

God Bless our troops and keep them safe!

[obamawhama]

and across the globle..every anti-war liberals are making sure that this brave young man''s enemy has every right..every opportunity..reason..and is allowed to have an upper hand to kill him.

bozworth4 I agree with you on the second post, about getting news from somewhere else. our media reports what sells, much like our candadates...they talk what gets them votes. I don''t believe they will end this war, regardless of what started it, why it was started, weather it was right or wrong, they won''t do it because of the jeapardy it will put us as the US in, and they are familiar with that. They HAVE to get thier information from the people over there fighting, and they HAVE to follow thier recommendations, BECAUSE they know what the other side is capable of and what consequences we will end up paying for pulling out of a war pre-maturely.

[obamawhama]

if you hear a liberal say "the are not against the military bu against bush"

well that is the same thing they say at every administration before bush and will say after bush BECAUSE ITS REALLY ALL ABOUT HATING this country.

these people had been spitting at american soldiers since the 60''s.

This is a day int the life of our brothers in arms, who are fighting for our freedom everyday and not interested in politics at home, we have more to worry about than who did what to whom or when, our mission is our life, God bless these warriors of the world.

Well Said frank-e1!

[nnncola]

hahahaha ok rev. frank-e-1, go work for a living and pretend that you have all the answers.

[bozworth4]

Nuff sed. Go vote and watch what happens. The dems have had congress now for 2 years (oh congress passes the laws, not the president?) so why hasn''''t anything changed. Do you know what a dupe is? You been had brother.

VETO!!!!!! Thanks King George II

"Don''t let Grandma hear it." That''s soo sweet.

Fellow Americans, we have got to help our soldiers. They need more time off, they need more money, they need better care. Just keep writing your congresspersons and signing petitions (and anything else you can think of to do).

It seems like McCain votes against most of the vet bills. That''s so strange, I think.

[bozworth4]

VETO!!!!!!!!!

[frank-e1]

Yes, you''re absolutely right. I couldn''t win the argument. My point was -- educate yourself. Congress, passes the laws, not the president. Have an opinion about a religion that you''ve actually read the book. And try getting your news from a different source (hmmm CBC radio Canada anyone?) than domestic service. But I see you''re right, its impossible to get you to educate yourself, only to hear a parrot of the "popular" position.

Lets see now -- who to vote for? Lawyer, lawyer, or (as they put it here) McVet. Why don''t you ever see Joe from the Elks club on the ballot? Guess politics is really only for the rich and privledged which leaves the rest of us ..... where?

Please wake up -- knowledge is in fact power. Accumulate it. Use it.

My original point was that for the millions of Americans that do not have the security classifications necessary, (unlike the Congressmen that voted for the war) the REAL reasons are not directly tied to oil. Do you realize that RUSSIA has more oil in the ground than the middle east and they''re actually our friends right now (ever heard of Gaspom?) -- and I suppose next you would have us pipe it outta Afghanistan or better yet, Bosnia (Clinton put us in there, remember -- check the facts).

Each individual that has lost a family member or lved on in Iraq has a right to feel bitter and question the value of their loss, of that there is no doubt.

OK, abuse all you want now. I actually have to work for a living. Bye.

He didn''''t/doesn''''t have any business having a cell phone on his person in theater. Sort of like sticking your finger in a light socket hoping no one flips the switch!

You''re an ***! There is nothing wrong with having a cell phone in the Middle East AOR. Maybe he should have turned it off while outside the wire, but as long as it is on silent mode, who really cares? I just wish I had a cell phone that would work in Iraq. It would be a lot better that the two 15 minute "moral calls" you get each week from the base phone system.

[nnncola]

Frank-e-1... You are obviously not as smart as you think you are. Keep sitting there and hiding behind your computer, you know you will never win a real argument or even prove a point for that matter.

[frank-e1]

Hey J -- one question -- have you actually READ the Koran all the way through -- or is that another parrot position? I have. And why you think the United States should give up the president to another country -- how about Berg''s beheading? War crime or freedom fighters doing the right thing? (By the way, did you see that too? It was available if you had the guts to watch what your poor victims of war crimes do to the innocent.)

Nuff sed. Go vote and watch what happens. The dems have had congress now for 2 years (oh congress passes the laws, not the president?) so why hasn''t anything changed. Do you know what a dupe is? You been had brother.

[j-whitman]

frank-e1,,, In 61 years what you''ll be reading about is how a US President got convicted on War Crimes --- If we don''t bring these people to justice, another country surely will.

[frank-e1]

Now nobody asks why we didn''t go to Baghdad during the first gulf war. Were you one of those asking that question too? Always popular to parrot the popular position, isn''t it? Of course, you have access to all that "classified" info that they''ll read about in the history books 61 years from now, right?

[dnamj]

Yikes, that is horrifying. However, if more soldiers "accidentally" called, say, Keith Olbermann, with the sounds of a firefight maybe people would wake up and realize the price they are paying for so-called cheap oil (or was it democracy?).

I suppose that if his unit was surrounded, under fire, taking casualties, and the unit comm gear got blown away, you''d advocate that he be courts-martialed should he be foolish enough to both use his cell to call for reinforcements AND survive?
