We can only hope he will be treated as well as the prisoners at Gitmo were. I can guarantee his captors will not keep from physically harming him.

I hope we help them get there crap together over there. And get are soldiers home save. I hope thy treat this soldier better than we treated some of their people at the camp.

You're twisted, pal.

Frankly, to me there is little difference between George Sr., Clinton, and George Jr.

They are all "free traders" and, essentially, "trickle-down" believers.

All played a massive role in pounding the stake into America's industrial heart.

lolll...perhaps - just perhaps, mind you - Clinton didn't foresee (or, more likely, was so entranced with the idea of helping the poor of other nations and being their hero that he became intentionally myopic) the offshoring of the service economy he promised us, too.

But the Bush boyz...they knew free trade and trickle-down economics would destroy the America we had.

Anybody who could see the warping of America's inequality curve - knew exactly what they were doing to America, and there is no way in hell a President of the United States was not exposed to those numbers.

I said the same thing around the same time. No soldiers, no deployments, just wipe em off the map and call it good.

lolll...I do believe I said that in 2001...September, it was.

But, you see, the wrong President...the wrong cabinet, the wrong Administration...was in office.

You can't get oil boyz to act like men when there is oil involved...any serious disruption of oil flow - sufficient to force the U.S. off of foreign oil - would disrupt the flow of wealth to them at the time it happened and forever more.

And compared to THAT money, in their eyes 4200 dead Americans is nothing.

The sad thing about you guys is you think that massive systems like economies can be redirected like a railroad switch, without the willing cooperation of all of America's corporations and wealthy.

We had that cooperation at the start of World War II; ain't nothing like fear of losing everything to put things into perspective.

As it stands, however, the United States is suffering from 30 years - that is 30 YEARS, not just the back wounds that the shrub inflicted - of Republican policies.

It will take years to climb out of the hole...and I find it to be doubtful that we ever will.

You see, our corporations and wealthy elite can make more money exploiting offshore labor and markets than they can here.

And being focused on wealth, they'll let America die.

Bring all of our soldiers home. Call it a draw. Give them ALL, every M.E. power that exists, ONE warning. Any attack against the US in any way shape or form we will turn your sea of sand into a sea of glass. Leave them to their infighting and their tribal BS and be done with them.

Wow...and you are upset about torture...you are talking about exterminating entire nations...genocide...wow.

A much better question is: "What would you do?"

And if asked to fight against/attack his own people... Then what?
