Edward1975,,, Good to see you also, You are right. And we should lay blame at the leaders.

[edward1975-2009]

j-whitman: Good to see you this year. We had the foresight to change a few things so this would not happen. Other countries not so lucky. We lay the blame at the foot of the leaders who watch this occurs under, but I don''t think that this sort of thing began just now, just got reported. We may never know how long some of the methods have been used, but we have a starting point, and that''s a beginning.

Jowand,,,, Take away term limits & accountablity we coould easliy have become a Saddam like government --- More than likely ours would look like a government as if the Confederates won our Civil War.

jowand,,, I agree with you, it wasn''t much of a power sharing deal, it was like how Bush shares power, only Saddam could tortrue, rape & spy on his people --- Bush only trys to & change the laws so he can

closethippy: Go back in. It is getting old, the rhetoric that lays this at the feet of the Republicans. We went as a united nation into this, both sides of the aisle, things got bad and because it was fashionable, Democrats cut and decried the war, vowing if ever given the opportunity, they would right this injustice. Well they have had the ability, and other than posturing, have voted to fund this war, so please tell me, who are the villians and who are the good guys. From where I am at, their wearing the same hat.

Several hundred thousand Americans have volunteered for military service since 9/11. Thank you. I hope you win.

And several hundred thousand Americans volunteered for military service thinking you were going after Osama Bin Laden--you did the right thing for the right reason. Little did you know thousands of you would die or be gravely injured, little did you know you would be sent over there time after time after time. Little did you know Bush wouldn''t not even give you deserved time off, but take away any bonus you may be eligable for. Little did you know ALL of America would be proud of you ALL for yoru bravery, little did you know, buy going there with little armour, inadequate vehicles, not enough food or water and would be told by Rumsfield that you "got to war with the army you have". Little did you know Bush had no intention of getting Bin Laden and little did you know you would be in a never ending war.
Yes--liberals are very proud of all of you for doing the right thing--even though we find later--it was all for the wrong reasons.
With you perseverence and bravery--you have already won!

Bush and ilk decided to invade Iraq the Sunnis and the Shiites were sharing power and there was no AQ in Iraq!
Why are American soldiers still dying over there? Why?

You''re lying as usual, Sunnis and Shiites were not sharing power at all and you know that.

"Dang IT ANYWAY! Why couldn''t these nine have
been killed over a nine-day stretch!?
This looks bad, looks bad!
Seems I dont have any luck anymore!
Speed up the Middle East arrangements!
At least I can be away when it hits the fan!"

[dscott407]

That was supposed to be...words don''t even come close.

My apologies..

[dscott407]

Ya know, there was a time when these reports were coming in so frequently, that it seemed to hard difficult to process it all. Now that I have been able to, I like it even less.

My condolences go out to the families of the troops that lost their lives. Words to even come close.
