I''ll care when the cowardly so-called ''insurgents'' in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.



I''ll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide .



I''ll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution''s Bill of Rights.



In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don''t care.



When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest assured: I don''t care.



When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank: I don''t care.



When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed ''special'' food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being ''mishandled,'' you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts: I don''t care.



And oh, by the way, I''ve noticed that sometimes it''s spelled ''Koran'' and other times ''Quran.'' Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and-you guessed it-I don''t care!!

And John McCain indicated that we need to develop alternative enery sources so our men and women won''t have to fight in the middle east again!

jankebenz,,,, Yes, we are supposed to be fighting a war on terror ----- Can''t do that with policies that only have resulted in destabilization of regions, increased dangers of terrorism or ignoring our loss of influence.

For all you that support anti america views



Letter from one ''Angry Woman''

I don''t know who wrote it but they should have signed it. Some powerful words. This woman should run for president.

Written by a housewife from New Jersey and sounds like it! This is one ticked off lady.



''Are we fighting a war on terror or aren''t we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001?

Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac from our nation''s capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania ?



Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn''t they?



And I''m supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was ''desecrated'' when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?...Well, I don''t. I don''t care at all.



I''ll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.

They had lived here a year before they attacked America.



I''ll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia



I''ll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for chopping off Nick Berg''s head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.

jankebenz,,,, They where Christians, Muslems, Cathlics, Mormans, Jews, Aithiests, Agnostics & even Wiccan''s

And Iraq isn''t about our freedom -- That war is for Iraqi''s to form a Islamic nation with Iranian influence & a Constitutional Sharia Law,,,, nothing has turned out the way your GOP expected.

I don''t know what kind of cloud you''re in but 2 billion christians and millions of fallen solders who died defending freedom stand against you and others who deny the truth.

redlipsahead,,,,, Let''s assume McBush hasn''t forgotten his service, which his selling out this country & lies on war don''t seem to support.

McBush takes Ambien CR to go to sleep -- You going to trust someone on psycotic drugs to handle our security & command decisions ????

WE ARE A PROUD AMERICA. WE HONOR OUR SOLDIERS WHO FOUGHT SO BRAVELY FOR US.

IT''S A SHAME THAT MICHELLE OBAMA DIDN''T REALIE HOW GREAT AMERICA WAS UNTIL SHE BECAME AN ADULT.

IT''S A SHAME THAT REV. WRIGHT SAYS GOD *** AMERICA.

IT''S A SHAME THAT HUSSEIN OBAMA THINKS WE ARE IN A WAR THAT WE SHOULDN''T BE INVOLVED IN. WHAT ABOUT THE 4,000 AMERICANS THAT SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES TO KEEP US SAFE AND FREE HERE IN AMERICA? OBAMA, WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE TERRORISTS RUNNING AROUND AMERICA OR IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD?

TODAY IS THE DAY TO THANK OUR SOLDIERS. THANK YOU JOHN MCCAIN AND EVERY OTHER SOLDIER WHO SERVED OUR COUNTRY. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

I HOPE ALL OF THE DEMOCRATIC SUPER-DELEGATES DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR AMERICA AND CAST THEIR VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON AND LET THE BEST TWO CANDIDATES RUN AGAINST EACH OTHER IN NOVEMBER. MCCAIN VS CLINTON.

I find GWB the most egregious hipocrite ever in our nations history. The only sacrifice this poor excuse for an individual was to give up GOLF! I''m sure he was miserable at it anyway just like he was a miserable failure at anything he''s ever done. There are not enough definitions in a dictionary to describe this vile individual.
