Yes many of us have forgotten about Afganistan...where the "real fight" against terrorist is probably being fought.

Americans come to your senses...unite and get out of Iraq...over 3400 hundred young American lives robbed and were still counting....somebody here wrote that life is too short....your right about that..but while you defend the barbarian pretender or rather the moron"commander guy"....young lives are being cut short because nitwits like you don't recognize that the illegal war was lost before it even started..and if u feel so strongly about keeping the troops in Iraq and exposing them for the sitting ducks that they are...why aren't u running to ur recruiting office and join the poor ba*tards in the lost cause....f&*"ke& hypocrite!!

I can understand some of your rant against the curent admin...but the ecomony is cyclical...there will be good times and bad times no matter who is in power....Clinton rode the wave out of Bush #1 term to great highs...but as he was leaving office things were going in the tank... not going to talk about any thing that happened on late 2001 as that was an abnomrality that focused tha country on the present problems facing us. We have always had people in the world that did not agree we the US. We had the "Cold War", were we were lined up in the Fulda Gap, tank to tank waiting for the word. Now we have an enemy with no country.. one who is willing to give his life for greater glory in the afterlife...(and yes I have read the Koran and studied Middle East History for 2 years and am still a Bush supporter). Their whole civilivation is built on a heriarchy of who has the power...that is why the Sunnis are up in arms...they have had the power(though they were a minority throughout Sadaam's reign) now they are on the outside looking in...which has led them to insurgency. They really have no idea or concept of democracy...they came from nomads where the strong survived and the rest persihed in the sand...Ala Akbar....God is great...(forgive me for the spelling, it's been many years) There is more to this conflict than just Sadaam and these issues need to be addressed...Persian versus Arab, oil equity, etc.

I am not advocating, as some do, impeachment. I think that after these men are replaced after the election of 2008, there will be more scrutiny and possibly legal action. We're in such a fragile state as a nation, we should maintain our course. I only ask for a little negotiating from both sides to get us through this impasse on the Iraq war. I will warn, as I have many times in the past, there's still Afghanistan.

You know I miss Bill Clinton, durning his time we had a great economy, no war, and lots of good jobs still left in this country. Now with a Republican congress and President we have low paying jobs, war, and uncertain economy.

I know why the neo con republicans are so worried about Hillary getting elected. If she does and things turn around then we will have proof that it was Bill he could have done so much more had the facist pigs left him to do his job rather then issue over 1,000 subpoena%u2019s yet while their hero for the first 6 years they issued 4. That is right 4 and now just the metion of a subpoena and they go straight to the attorney's. Why is that Clinton was able to bring everything they needed and yet nothing was found.

Congress now ask for one thing and it just keeps getting better and better. This group of facist pigs is the worst that has ever been in this great country. I for one will never vote for a facist pig again.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, never again.

I agree with much of what you said...they are the representatives of the people and should be brought forward to relate their beliefs on a subject when the time is appropriate. Now is not the time. There were some errors made...the removal of Sadaam created a bigger vacuum than probably was expaected and only players in the area to fill the void were to of the members from the "Axis of Evil"....My personal opinion is that we went in too light, tried too show too much compasion, tried to ask debate and questions rather than make a decision and execute...(sometimes literally). The US military, for all it's great strength, can not become "warm and fuzzy" overnight to project that image on the Iraqi people, nor should they. My father always said the easiest things for our adversaries to recognize that if we send troops and tanks there was still a diplomatic possibility...if we send ashaphlt and yellow paint we are going to turn you into a parking lot.

Thank you Skyhawk761....maybe we should run?
Ooops...I'm unemployed....my checkbook can't afford it!

dssans, don't worry our beloved leaders in Washington have created the most jobs ever. I hear it from them every day. The only problem is that with you having been a CEO, you are over qualified for these new jobs,Taco Bell, 7-11, MacRats, etc. Seriously, the common man or woman cannot run for office anymore because it takes millions to run for an office that pays $140,000.00 a year. Am I the only one that sees something wrong with that picture?

[bogusbones]

I feel our country is strongly supporting our troops. Our country and our troops have been wrongfully and some will say illegally put into the Iraqi situation. There is so much acrimony out there regarding the sum total of decisions and activities of this Administration, from top to bottom. Every Administration has their own brand of corruption and wrong doers. Our current Administration has shown their colors by the class of people they've put in office, the ideological decisions they've made and the manner in which they've proceeded on their own seemingly private agenda. If Clinton was taken to task for his White House impropriety, shouldn't this crew be held to the same standards?

given the options that we had in both elections AT THE TIME.... I would gladly vote the same as I did....I truly have to admit the Al Gore has raised himself very highly on my list of people that I would like to see Pres....I still DO NOT like many of his views but he has definitely started promoting a positive message and given the candidate that he may run against...I could see myself actually voting for him...(Confirmed Republican who voted for Reagan in his first possible vote).
