As usual you missed the boat.
I know I'm going to get my raise, I got one on January 1st and I'll get another on 1 April.
The point is the Dems are anti-military, and because of it, damn near anti-American. How can you not support the military during the times of conflict. I don't care what warped thoughts you have about the reasons we went to this conflict. Don't stab the military in the back. They are there, the COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF has consulted with personnel and feels that a troop increase is needed. What is NOT cut and dry about that? Send the troops and fund them. Don't use the troops as your pawns in your political BS game.
He consulted with them all right. And then he had to fire all the ones in charge because they told him he was full of sh!t. The a-hole in chief's 'surge' plan is at best supported by a minority of generals, military affairs officers, and foreign policy experts, and strongly opposed by a bipartisan panel heavily weighted with Bush I's team.
That's being generous. It's also overwhelmingly opposed by the American people.
Show me one single Bush administration decision in Iraq, either strategic or tactical, that didn't turn out to be either a bad idea at minimum, or more typically a complete disaster? Just one.
And spare me the self righteous patriotism. The dems are stupid and they don't know how to run a party but there are at least 4 times as many of them who served as there are repubs. GWB was fckin off doin lines and hiding behind daddy when it was his turn. Use them as pawns! Give me a break. He's caused more men to lose their lives uselessly than any president in history.
