It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! March 23, 1775 Patrick Henry

USA's PLEDGE 2 THE WORLD GIVEN BY JFK!!

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty."
--John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Address, Jan. 20, 1961 "

"Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country." --John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Address, Jan. 20, 1961 "

One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Winston Churchill

It is easy to attack and criticize present Administration policy, because it is not working. But can someone tell me where I can read the proposals submitted by Generals Batiste,Eaton and Clark?

We have destroyed the infrastructure of Iraq. We cannot just leave. We need real solutions to solve the real problems.

Remember this: One Day at Virginia Tech IS EVERDAY in Baghdad.

We must help them, we cannot abandon them. So while we are free to criticize, lets offer some real solutions!!!!!

These good men have a lot of courage and we the People need to listen to what they say. Bush is what ALL our friends in the world have been trying to tell us for so long, a Fascist. We may not like to admit such things but he has the EXACT same mentality of Hitler. He will simply purge those who won't tell him what he wants to hear and just goes on extending our Military. We HAVE to defend this nation and there is NO leader or RELIGION on the Planet worth this nation, sorry you folks in the Religious Reich!! If we do NOT stop this mad man he WILL distroy our Military rather than admit he's wrong. That's what being a Southern Fascist is all about.

But voting for those in a Party that make such people possible and calling Veterans who bring up the issue irresponsible.... that's just plain WRONG! Sieg Heil and Amen.

What's it going to take?
The only reason the US invaded Iraq was to get some good old boys richer. Even generals are in our faces about Cheney and Bu$h. But America sleeps...

"Defense contractor BAE Systems Inc. will buy military armored vehicle maker Armor Holdings Inc. for $4.1 billion, part of BAE's bid to tap into heavy demand from the American military for vehicles in Iraq and other war zones, the company said Monday.
BAE Systems Inc., an American subsidiary of the British defense conglomerate BAE Systems PLC, will pay $88 per share for Armor Holdings, based in Jacksonville, Fla. That represents a 7 percent premium over the closing price of company shares Friday. Including $388 million in debt, the deal is worth $4.5 billion.
Shares of Armor Holdings rose $4.45, more than 5 percent, to $86.60 in Monday trading after the takeover was announced.
The deal expands BAE's presence in the potentially lucrative market for armored Humvees, personnel carriers and other military equipment that can withstand repeated roadside bombings and insurgent attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan."

This could easily go on for years.

Not one penny more until Bush comes to the bargaining table.

People are upset about the Iraqi Parliament taking two months off? What about Condoleeza Rice and our diplomatic corps? Two days in Sharm El Sheik with naught but a 'hello' here and there, then two months back in Washington doing nothing. If Bush was really supporting the troops, there would be a surge in diplomacy as well.
