Hey Scottyusa, Mr. Pro-war. I hope you have your checkbook ready to write a check for $18,000 for your share of the war. Good news for you, if McCain wins the election your kids will have plenty of time to fight this war. Because if McCain gets his way - this war will still be going by the time your kids hit 18.
Then if your kid(s) lose a limb or their lives in this war you can wrap them up in the Flag. That will make you a patriotic father huh? Then ask yourself what it was all for? To free the world from tyranny or to support OPEC?
Our armed forces were not created or should be used as tools for corporate greed and control of markets. By the way, to control the oil markets was one goal of this war and look how that has turned out. Gas could hit $7 gallon by the end of the year. "Heck of a job George Bush!"
There is a big difference between WWII and the Iraq war. WWII had to be fought, the Iraq war was an invention by George Bush.
Patriots will end this war and the McBush''s will fight this and other endless wars. I pray for our troops and wish them a speedy return home where they belong. - Reply to this comment

quit stealing their oil.
-----------------
We''''re stealing oil from Iraq? I hadn''''t heard about that.
But if so, IT''''S ABOUT TIME. The Iraqis should be PAYING US for all we''''ve done for them. And they should be paying IN OIL.
For that matter, they should be giving us the deed to a few oil fields for our troubles.

Now why should Iraq deed us oil fields for our troubles?
You do not know the difference between invaded and invited ?
We were not invited into Iraq and 65 percent of Iraqis want us UN-invited... - Reply to this comment
- The US government has borrowed on behalf of every family in America, $18,000 to date and growing.
So if you are a supporter of George Bush, a supporter of this war, I demand that you pay your share upfront as we go. I demand you cut a check right now to the IRS for $18,000
Now if you can''t or won''t write that check now - or you are not willing to cut additional checks to the IRS as the bill becomes due, because this bill is going up every day, I must ask, no demand- that you shut the f%$& up. - Reply to this comment

At least you have the common sense to recognize that the above statement is, after all, your opinion, and thus has no bearing on reality.
I wonder if you realize how silly your point is, that American mothers should willingly and gladly let their children die for the lies of a war mongering president, and his business interests. - Reply to this comment

- "...Instead of appealing to the higher virtues of service to country regardless who''s elected to lead..."
Interesting group of words by the author, but he doesn''t enlighten us as to what the "virtues" of dying because of intentional and blatant lies of the commander in chief, actually are.
He also infers that going to kill and die for the sake of the profits of a few war mongers is a virtue. - Reply to this comment
- "...and the overwhelming issue of HOW WILL WE CARE FOR THE AGING BABY BOOMERS when they become elderly???" Posted by txgrouch2006
Not to forget to consider that if McSame expands US military hostilities into Iran, the resulting collapse of the US economy will obviate that need, as there will be no more "America". - Reply to this comment
