I do not believe in the war in Iraq, i do however believe in supporting our troops no matter what. They do not choose where they fight. My daughter just returned from Iraq and she said the people there were always screaming for us to leave. It was their problem, they should have been left to solve it. She said everyone she served with didn''t believe we should be in Iraq. They believed we should be fighting in Afghanastan.

McVet does not need counseling. He has been where noone should have to go. A place 99% of Americans cannot relate to. He has seen the evils of war. Until you have walked in his shoes you cannot criticize what you do not know or can imagine. I do not agree with his seig heil, but it seems to have become his trademark. I do not agree with McVets choices politically, but i will support his right to have them forever.

[patriot12436]

Why are we dependent on Arab oil ? We get 17% from them, the rest we import from Mexico and Canada.

Here''s an excerpt of the Declaration of Independence, the excerpt commonly omitted among some ideologues on this board when discussing government.

Read carefully, the portion in CAPS:

[We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, THAT WHENEVER ANY FORM OF GOVERNMENT BECOMES DESTRUCTIVE OF THESE ENDS, IT IS THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO ALTER OR TO ABOLISH IT, AND TO INSTITUTE NEW GOVERNMENT, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.]

If any of you want to truly celebrate INDEPENDENCE Day, then consider becoming active in changing our government... and I mean BEYOND simply voting!

[naucoming4u]

I wonder why we celebrate "Independence Day" anymore when this country is FAR from being independent!

- We are DEPENDENT on foreign oil. No matter how much oil we *attempt* to drill in our own country, the vast majority will still have to come from other countries, Canada, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, etc.

- We are DEPENDENT on foreign manufacturing for even the most basic necessities of living. Even our military is dependent on foreign manufacturing for some components.

- The typical "American Dream" is DEPENDENT on cheap gas in order to maintain the lifestyles the middle class once enjoyed in this country.

But mostly, this country (our government) is extremely DEPENDENT on foreign countries floating our debt so our government can create needless wars-for-profit and other wasteful spending!

This is what we get when Americans chose the corrupt two-party system, (some more corrupt than others), time and time again.

So with that being said...

HAPPY DEPENDENTS DAY!

I hope everyone enjoyed some fireworks shows!

"Here" is NOT where you will hear the Iraqi people call for our withdrawal from Iraq - THAT happens IN Iraq. (78% said they want immediate withdrawal of American troops in the last poll.)


MUCH more important than that, is WHY you apparently think we''re in Iraq. Don''t you remember that we invaded because of the LIE perpetuated by this regime, that Iraq had WMD''s? When did "radical Islamic extremists" or "al Qaeda" EVER factor in to the invasion?

Are you stupid, naive, or have an INTENTIONALLY short memory?

I would venture to say that you more than likely have not spent 2 minutes in Iraq let alone 2 days or 2 years. If you had you would most certainly see and spew forth a different side of the story. You should be Thanking God for the brave troops and civilians who risk their lives daily to secure this place from fanatic''s and extremist who think nothing of strapping a bomb to themselves and murdering innocents all in the name of their God and a Holy war that they refuse to end. Open your eyes and stop trying to make this into something it is not. For not one time have I heard a native of Iraq claim this to be over money and or oil. And I''ve been here for quite some time now. God Bless every man and woman who serves in Iraq whether it be military or assisting the military as a civilian. They are truly hero''s in their own right.

Here''s a thought for those that support these morons that kill innocent women & children. Read your constitution if you can read. Oh aim sorry you take your orders from the central banks. These poor slobs don''t fight for America they fight for the Bankers and there oil.

When you wake up to the truth then you will have true Freedom. So don''t give any of your BS sad tails of bravery when there a bunch of chickens taking there orders from the col Sanders that run this country. They don''t care about you or your future.

All the wars were fought for the Banks not from the enemy you Americans falsely fear. You have been lied to and you better wake up.

Read your history and you will see that government is like a condom It makes you think you get protection but in fact your getting screwed

Amen. And most of all, may God grant them real leaders who would never trivialize their sacrifice for something as mundane as oil. May God grant them Democratic leadership.

God Bless our troops for what they are doing for us abroad. God bless you all!! Don''''t let these nasty libs get to you! We appreciate what you are doing and what you have done!! Don''''t ever forget it! We love you all!!

Happy 4th of July!

I didn''t see any "I''m Sorry" in there because YOU believed in a Commander in Chief who LIED to their PARENTS! You DO KNOW that YOU put this grievous Piece of Human Trash in that position don''t you? I know YOU do not know want combat is like... so let me tell you. You are TIRED 90% of the time BECAUSE you can NEVER drop your Guard. It''s so hot during the day you can hardly breath and there is NO sleep at night. There are insects you''ve never seen, rats the size of House Cats and then there is the RESISTENCE... YES! Those CITIZENS who do NOT want you there... THEY are going to KILL you if they get the Chance. Suddenly the earth stops... everything stops as the world around you is on fire. Then come the Screams... The Blood from your best friend IF you are lucky is all over you! THINK about that for a few seconds and go to the Site of the 935 LIES.. READ them and go pull up the VIDEO of that ARROGANT LITTLE FASCIST called BUSH! Tell ME he cared about those kids dying... tell me then if it was necessary! Now knock off the Joe McCarthy garbage... we are AMERICAN''S all of us!! SIEG HEIL BUSH

You know to hear someone say such TRASH as this when the ENTIRE nation KNOW Obama would NEVER have sent these troops off into that Desert looking for OIL... How do we know that? HE said so but not just AFTER we all knew Bush was LYING and we were making a MISTAKE!! OH NO! He said so when Bush was pounding his chest and sending Justice Department Lawyers to "get" every Politician who even DARED to be a Democrat. No Sparky IF there is ANY MAN, WOMAN or PERSON running for the office of President it is a MAN with that VISION and Judgement... THAT''S call a LEADER with COURAGE! Now lets salute the Gestapo of Cheney''s!! SIEG HEIL BUSH!!

I''d say IF you were one of those who were screaming at the top of your lungs for this piece of human trash a few call a president to STAY in Afganistan, YOU are someone who has shown REAL Blessing on our Troops. Oh the OTHER HAND if you ARE one of those who STILL defends this kind of treatment of our YOUNG people for OIL.. I''m truly sorry for you!! SIEG HEIL BUSH

[mcvet]

It was great today to see Bush get his. HE defied the wishes of WE the People and He and his PARTY have to pay the price. When the American People go to the Polls and vote to end a War, the President had better listen. Now we have troops on their 3rd or 4th tour in Iraq and Afganistan is heating up. Now that is what we used to call in the Corp a Butt Whoopin. We need a change and we need it NOW.

[rowdywicca]

The administration is not interested in what you have to pay at the pump. The bottom line is profit for BIG OIL, which is the reason BIG OIL put up 150 million dollars for the election campaign of G.W. Bush.

On September 14,2002 Rep. James McDermott at a Capitol Hill Briefing said that politics and oil, not fear that Iraq will use WMD are driving factors behind the presidents call for regime change. McDermott said there was an organized effort to squelch such discussions. "The political operatives in the white house have been very careful to spin it away from oil. Anytime anybody sees a connection they spin it the other way".

In an interview published by the French, dedefensa.org journalist Amy Goodman''s interview with General Wesley Clark, Clark stated he viewed a defense department memo that described how the U.S. was going to take out seven countries in five years...."starting with Iraq,then Syria and Lebanon, then Libya,then Somalia and Sudan, and back to Iran."
