Hockeydad, that holds true for incumbents who started the mess, too. What's the plan now? You seem to know. UN? No UN? How much is it going to cost us next year? When will we be out of there? One year? Twenty years? Will Iraq ever have a stable government? Not sure?

Question. Viet Nam. Democratic war. Republican war. Good intentions. Bad judgements. Did all of those with their names on the wall in Washington die in vain?

AJ? And my question? How is it that the Clinton admin had 8 YEARS TO CURE CANCER! AND DID NOTHING!! Do you think we need a comission to look in to this? Why are you dodging this important question?

BTW AJ, you seem to be filled with "questions" as well as arguably other things... But you don't seem to really have a position on solutions or answers. It seems all you like to do is bitch, like my ex. Do you have any constructive ideas? Or are you just filled with hate?

Since this was such a good post, I think I'll hit it just one more time... BTW AJ, you seem to be filled with "questions" as well as arguably other things...

Good post(s) Robby. You too HockeyDad. Good luck though in trying to get any answers to your questions. Some people here love to criticize as loudly as they can, yet can't or don't want to clarify their positions or offer better solutions (ahhhh, have to love the EASY way...). I guess that some are just comforted by attacking others (and name calling) and in hearing themselves complain and whine. Kind of sad.

Good try though you two, but don't hold your breath waiting for any answers from him/them.

Yes, some just come across as plain angry. Some dwell on the past. Some, you know are single minded. I don't think I am one. Robby, you have a chip on your shoulder and are just looking for someone to knock it off. Some get really ticked off when someone won't take a stand against them, because that's all they are looking for. Some don't really THINK. Some have "ex's" for a reason. I don't like Clinton much. Never voted for him. I don't like Bush more. I have a dad who is an ex-marine. He doesn't like Bush with a passion. No one except the Bush administration is responsible for our military being in a strange land fighting a strange "war". It was a DECISION made.

Ahhh, there it is, the ad-homonym attack. When the arguments fail, the mentally week resort to it EVERYTIME! Way to go A-Gay, thanks for not letting me down 😉

BTW, did you happen to catch the waffler, AKA, your man in November? This AM on ABC? He was saying how he did not throw his medals over the fence in after the war? But he did throw his ribbons? Then they played a clip of him being interviewed as a punk in the 70s and he said “Yes I threw my medals over the fence, I threw my Bronze Star, my Silver Star, and my two Purple Hearts.” What joke! This man is a disgrace and so is anyone stupid enough to vote for him. Why not save yourself the embarrassment and vote for Nader? LOL!

Thanks again AJ for helping me prove my point, I do appreciate it. And thanks for mentioning your dad, the info that he hates Bush was extremely appropriate. How I'm not sure, but since you had to include it I'm sure it was (if anything at least to you I guess). Good job again.

Oh, I forgot somthing AJ. Please explain to me how being of differing political views than you makes me single minded. Assuming my question isn't too emotional for you to respond to of course (I wouldn't want to upset you or anything). Really, I'd like to know how you've defined me this way. So by this logic is everyone who disagrees with you on anything simply wrong and single minded??? Funny guy.

AJ there is no such thing as an EX Marine. Once a Marine always a Marine. Unless he was drummed out of the corp.
You should apoligize to you father for insulting him like that

There aren't easy answers to hatred and a religion based on it. I'm afraid all we have managed to do is stir the hornets' nest. I think we have to stay there with targets on our backs for now, regardless of the party in the White House. Sorry, I don't have the answers to attaining world peace, but then they don't pay me for that. Robby, perhaps you could enlighten us.

EI...sorry, I should have known that. Your reprimand is well taken.

CJ, I said "some" and you took it personally. Why? I mentioned my dad for the benefit of others who don't see any other "military" opinions on this forum. Truly, you need to go back and reread these posts and see where the emotion is coming from.

I appreciate you thinking you know more about me than I do, but I hate to tell you you're wrong. Not in your political view, but in knowing about me personally. Your opinion is yours, and mine is mine. I have no reason to attack you for it, but each to their own. And nothing I say here is emotional, it's for entertainment. I couldn't have made it as far as I have in my career if people like you upset me! Honestly! No offense, but you're not worth getting upset about!

And mentioning your dad, I know people who are or were in the military who feel both ways. So what? An individual's opinion is just that, an opinion. I've talked with many people who have recently been over in Iraq and they're quite set in their views on what's going on over there. But I won't bore you with more emotions, you wouldn't want to hear what they had to say anyway (I'm sure you'd say THEY are wrong too, based on all of your facts). But what would they know, they've only been serving there for our country. Just like you?

Sigh... Now go ahead and tell me the error of my ways and why those I mentioned are wrong. I know you enjoy trying.

Hey A-gay, why don't you send me your snailer so we can meet sometime in Chicago? I'd love to introduce myself "personally"... [email protected]
