The pacifist is as surely a traitor to his country and to humanity as is the most brutal warmonger. Theodore Roosevelt

In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing. Theodore Roosevelt

I would rather go out of politics feeling that I had done what was right than stay in with the approval of all men, knowing in my heart that I had acted as I ought not to. - Speech to the New York Assembly 1884 Theodore Roosevelt

What's the Plan Bush ???

Just how do you recover from a War started by lies, a War that was a Major Strategic Failure from the start ??

How do you recover the 3,605 lives lost for your Failures, bad leadership & incompetencies ???

Sad, very sad indeed -
- Now senior republicans are yelling "Surrender" -- Bush still can't flush a win from this quagmire in any aspects ------ What do you expect from a Major Strategic Blunder fron the beginning ????? --- This is his so-called "Center of the War on Terror" ?????
--- 3,605 Americans KIA for no gain at all ---

Lars008,,,,, Funny post --- You demand liberals remain silent & do nothing

All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.

That is exactly how Hitler took over Germany & Bush became President of the United States
--------- GOOD MEN DID NOTHING -----------

White House Urges Patience On Iraq -- LOL --- "Wait till we are out of office" is what they really mean.

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

"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing." Albert Einstein

Edmund Burke: All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.
