You know how most of those muslims got here singin rick? They got here because of BS like we're doing in Iraq right now... they sold out their own people to support our government then our government moves them over here, so they were basically traitors to their own people in the first place. Yeah great americans... I hope some Iraqis move next door to you singin rick, it will be your just deserts for supporting this war, cause you can be when we pull out there will be tens of thousands of iraqi traitors that sold out their own country to support us coming home with the troops.

Have a safe trip, I don't usually agree with you but it's good to listen to your ideas. At least you disagree politely.

Remind me on Saturday night, I imagine we will both be here... I watched Hannity the other night & allmost threw my shoe through the TV, every time his guest tryed to make her point, he cut her off & talked over her.. Seriously Documentarys are 3rd party productios, they are expensive... Any on politics will be slanted guantereed.

Singinrick,,, You have to draw the line on documentary's, some are good, some are'nt any more informative than Michael Moore's.... Gives me more time to listen to people like Jeff Sessions R-Alabama, General Casey, Ex Reaga, Nixon, Carter National security advisors, Defense Secritaries, etc.... Accuate & Real Time

Singinrick..
In order to handle this new type of terrorism, the American people must be totally informed about it, which they have not been.

- That's what I'm taliking about man.. We are not informed enough,, What we are told is very cherry picked, to a point where it's wrong & Hurting Our Troops And National Security

Reagan had no clue that Saddam would turn around and use our stuff on his own people.

Oh yes he did have a clue,, Congress was all over him..... We often have the best ideas, with the most catistrophic results -- In this case, we failed to verify the intel... And we have a lousy record of "Nation Building" usually during a GOP administration.

Singinrick,,, When we come to blind obediance to a President who calls Americans "Un Patriotic" or "Embolding The Enemy", or "Terrorist for not supporting them" -- Which we have now -- I'll look real close at Anarchy.

Singinrick,,, We're not angels here dude,, We've been causing regional problems for decades... Reagan put Saddam in charge, Cheney, Rumsfield & George HW. Armed them.

There used to be many anarchists in America too who terrorized the country in the early 20th century, setting off bombs and one even assasinated a presdent.

But we didn't jump at shadows then. I'm ashamed of how we've handled this new challenge of terrorism.

Yes he said that,, he's said a lot of things he never backed up,, Much of what he's said ended in problems or had no substance at all.

we can actually disagree with each other without being shot or succumbed to a lunatic suicide bomber in our local shopping malls or work places

Yes, we always could, always.... We used to be able to do so in many other countries as well, not so anymore,,, You're not safe in Mexico, Japan, Central America, South America - Even in England don't be loud about being American.... All that is getting worse.

Most seem to be a bunch of weak-willed ******* with giant egos, who will not protect the people.

The president will decide for you and congress will becoime irrelevant if this keeps up.

Congress did have a start on some ideas but I doubt if they have the stamina to continue with that until they have a product worthy of the people.

They already approved one general who failed in on his previos assignment to train the Iraqi Army to be self sufficientwithin three years. Congress recently made him the commander of the Iraq occupation, LOL.

And now Casey, the former failed-leader of our troops in Iraq for over a couple years will likely get a promotion.

I dont know who makes me angrier, terrorists or my own government.

There is hope, but it lies within the common citizen and the common civic leader, not these incompetent idiots.

Seriously, if you get the chance start watching our elected officials discuss that matter,,,
- It's Redeployment (Such as what you saw in Najaf battle, it worked quite well)
- Massive retrainging programs than ever, money & equipment tons of it.
- Actual Plans For Turning over Iraq to Iraq with real Deadlines
- Redeployment will alsso give us more troops to fight al Quaeda, in Iraq & elsewhere

I was talking to my Marine son this morning in Camp Pendelton, he used to be with the New Life Church (Let's not get into the religion), gearing up for the 3rd tour -- They think any amount of troops will work, They have no faith in thier Commander & Chief anylonger,,, I neve really thought I'd hear that from so many.

Funny, just last week you wanted them all withdrawn from the war instantaneously.

No, I don't think I've ever said that.. Wait, maybe in the context of Bush not being capable of changing his plans.

Singinrick,,, You keep asking me if I can ever be happy - Sure, when our Troops have an actual strategy that stans more than a half-*** chance,, When the highest office of our Nation strarts giving Americans the respect they deserve,, When my 94 year old aunt regains her Medicar & Colostemy supplyes,, When our children are actually capable of entering college.
