Octo,
Here''s a simple question for you? Should the US attack Saudi Arabia, Egypt or Pakistan? Any, none, all three?

History has a way for looking back at things and it is never how we thought it would be looking foward.

Both Iraq and Afghanistan are becoming a quagmire. It was eary to roll in and take over but keeping gains is different. Those cultured are not like how America Started. Our founders were looking to form a nation based on common goals, giving up power as needed.

Those in power in the middle eeat do not seem share the common goals of the war unless they gain more power. When they do not see the desired personal goals acheived then more conflict.

My big QUESTION for 5 years Plus...
Why didn''t the US born middles east experts know this going in?

Have you ever talked to a returning Soldier? They are far from being stupid or brainwashed, I never really paid much attention to Sheehan.Now here is the million dollar question, What have you personally done to support our Brave Soldiers in combat?
These young men and women do their jobs and they are there for EACH OTHER! They consider themselves to be Brothers and they have each other''s backs. That is why they are there because they won''t abandon each other. If you talked to a REAL Soldier you would pick up on this immediately.I have personally went through a year of hell and right now I am going thru another 15 months of hell, my son is a Specialist in the US Army doing a second tour of duty, with a baby due in about three weeks.I support my Son 100%, I do not support bush or this war.
Now What have you sacrificed for this so called noble cause? my guess would be absolutely nothing.

Our troops are fighting a noble cause trying to protect the Iraqi people against the hate and chaos kept going so the Neocons agenda of taking over the Middle East to incorporate it for their greed.

Our soldiers are Americans with big hearts and brave souls. They have done what their country has asked them to do.

It is our job here to fight the politics of this war and to keep the Neocons from totally depleting our military that was designed for defense and not for agression. And, from depleting the country''s treasury for the gain of the elite and corporate America.

In November, we''ve got to speak out, and push this greed aside and start rebuilding our own infrastructure!

"When Bushit says the war is "noble", it''''s clear he means it''''s "for the nobles."

Democrats do not support the Troops. They support themselves. Like Cindy Sheehan who said the troops were either too stupid or brainwashed to know what is good for them. Democrats Elitists know best. And you can tell by the posts here, who the Liberal Elitists are. They are always the ones who call others name and claim to be so intellectually superior. There is you support guys.

O look, intellectual conversation from a Republican.

Funny, demslie, when I was serving in the military, I dont'' remember the services being full of only Republican patriots.

Funny, demslie, the caskets coming back from Iraq aren''t labeled Republican-only.

I will take your comments to the home of my friends who lost their son in Iraq a few months ago and tell them that because he was a liberal, his death doesn''t count, and they aren''t American because of their political affiliation.

Perhaps you might tell us all what symbols you feel represent the proper level of "patriotism"?

I would not be surprised if bush walks around the WH talking to himself. He has no grasp of reality.

Wow. You get The Most Worthless Post Ever award. Your grammy''s uninformed musings are most likely a total fabrication. If you are trying to bash Obama on the basis that he isn''t Christian enough for you, then you are only exposing your bigotry.

Go back to NewsMax, or FoxNews, or wherever you get your pittance for astroturfing...
