"I am a 3rd generation soldier and you %u201Cend iraq war%u201D groupies are spineless. 9/11 saw over 4,000 men, women, and children slaughtered by terrorists for no reason than the joy of slaughter. I don''''t ever want to see that happen again. We are beating these terrorists into the ground particularly in Iraq and Afghanistan, they''''re split between attacking their own and attacking our troops which suits me fine.

I''m a 5th generation soldier and I think your post is ridiculous. We are not fighting Al Quida in Iraq, we are fighting Iraqi insurgents. We were fighting Al Quida in Afghanistan until Bush pulled the troops out to stage a war on Iraq, a country that had no contacts with Al Queda, a country he KNEW had nothing to do with 911. Since we have pulled out of Afghanistan, Al Queda has regained strength and is becoming a power in Afghanistan again.

You want to fight terrorism, so do I, you want your family safe, so do I. The first rule in fighting a war is know who your enemy is, it wasn''t Iraq.

The only part of your post that is from the Washington post is the quote from Hayden. The rest of the post is directly from the New York Post - not exactly a bastion of respectable journalism.

Now, it has become the ISM%u2019s time to deconstruct religious dogma of Israel belonging to the Jews as is preached in US churches and to increase the number of black churches in America that are working in %u201Csolidarity%u201D with this program. Jeremiah Wright%u2019s church is one of them. Even though the national synod of the United Church for Christ rescinded a boycott and divestment plan against Israel, a wing of the UCC church keeps trying to get it reinstated. That wing includes Reverend Wright%u2019s Trinity UCC Church in Chicago. Few people know also, that there are many Muslim members of Reverend Wright%u2019s %u201CChristian%u201D church, a close ally of Sabeel.

Led by a Palestinian Christian pastor named Naim Ateek, Sabeel%u2019s purpose is as part of the ISM to especially convince churches in America that the diminishing Christian population in the West Bank, particularly Bethlehem, is not due to persecution by the Muslim majority in the Palestinian Authority against Christians caused Christian flight, but because of Israel%u2019s Jews and %u201Cthe occupation.%u201D In order to achieve this, Sabeel practices something called %u201Creplacement theology %u201C

Thanks for your service. There are some big time radicals on this board. I wouldnt put it past that some of them are blogging from the Middle East.

Thank you for keeping my family safe. You have mine and everyone I knows support. Were out spreading the truth.

AMERICA has won, or is about to win, the Iraq war.

The latest proof came last month, as the Iraqi army - just a few months ago the target of scorn and abuse from Democratic politicians and journalists - forcefully reoccupied three cities that had served as key insurgency bases (Basra, Sadr City and Mosul).

Sunnis and Shias alike applauded as their nation''s army compelled insurgent militias to lay down their arms. The country''s leading opposition newspaper, Azzaman, led the applause for the move into Mosul - a sign that national reconciliation in Iraq is under way and probably irreversible.

US combat deaths in May also were down to 20, the lowest monthly total since February 2004. The toll for May 2007 was 121.

In a Washington Post interview, CIA Director Michael Hayden said we''re witnessing the "near strategic defeat of al Qaeda in Iraq."

9/11 saw over 4,000 men, women, and children slaughtered by terrorists Posted by iamyipper

You''re exactly right, and no one has a problem with hunting Bin Laden in Afghanistan. The problem is that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. We invaded a country that had not attacked us, and while Saddam was a very bad man, he at least kept Iran in check and refused to provide a haven for alqaeda. Now, our very presence in Iraq has weakened our security, not strenthened it, and also weakened our ties with our allies, who knew we were invading Iraq for the wrong reasons and who were castigated for not supporting our war.

No one dishonors the soldiers - it''s the administration we have no respect for.

I don''t ever want to see that happen again.

That means my family here at home and your families here at home are not the ones caught in a blast or crossfire.
My grandfather was drafted, he had no choice. He was gone to war for over 3 years, till killed, wounded, or we won. Over 400,000 of my Grandfathers generation died in war. The women went to work doing everything they could with a tenacity and bravery that is distinctly lacking in America today.
I wonder if America has the guts to stand firm. I''ve never seen a quitter win ANY game, quitters ALWAYS loose. The most honorable way to treat any soldier is give them the means to win to bring them home in victory. Ask any Vietnam vet, Americas most shameful action toward soldiers. They were courageous, strong, and like today''s soldiers, were kicking tail till America quit on them.
It sickens me to think so many dishonor our soldiers and their fallen again. They deserve your full support for Victory. They need your thanks for being in a crossfire among Muslims in Iraq or Afghanistan and not in the same crossfire at your kids school or your neighborhood.

"I can find a thousand or more woman in my town alone that will NOT even consider Obama. Just imagine other towns and states- Women do not trust him. If he picks Hillary as VP, it won''''t matter in the least.

If they are conservative hard core pro-lifers of course they are not going to vote Obama, they wouldn''t vote for God if he were a Dem candidate. If, however, they are a little smarter than the chairs they are sitting on they might note that the McCain policys will not even attempt to control gas prices, will do nothing to increase the availability of health care or the quality of it or make child care and children''s health an issue at all. He will also stack the supreme court with pro-lifers if given a chance and will basically treat the women of America like he treats his wife. He will not look at any plan for a reasonable withdrawal from Iraq which he will pay for with the lives of Americas soldiers.

McCain is not a pro-women candidate, women voting for McCain would is like blacks voting for Strom Thurman.
