I can't.

I do NOT support the Troops.

F*ck the troops!!

That would be like opposing the RAPE but supporting the RAPIST!!

You cannot separate a person from his/her actions. YOUR ACTIONS DEFINE YOU.

The "troops" are all scumbag killers, and I hope they suffer before they die, every last one of them.

Killing innocent people because someone TOLD YOU TO is not a justification...

I bet Hitler wanted Germans to "Support the Troops" too, don't you?

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/04/29/army.increase.ap/index.html

This link - to an article at CNN this morning (Sunday) - tells how US leaders wish to expand the military numbers, to over half a million bodies, by 2012...macho, proud to be American, trained killers, to do the bidding of elected officials. If these folks survive their bloody duties, possible 'friendly fire', and the other horrors and atrocities they participate in, they then become repatriated citizens (in your neighborhood) at home.

Do you feel secure with this reality???

OK-here's the situation....

I worked for an environmental organization last year, and a reporter interviewed me and my boss, then wrote a story he did about us which was in the newspaper and online ..
Problem is---my boss lied to the reporter!!!.. and he told me to lie too!!!..

So now the Article is on-line on the newspapers's website--and I feel guilty because the reporter might get in trouble if any fact-checks his story...
I WANT THE REPORTER TO TAKE THE STORY DOWN FROM THE WEBSITE BECAUSE MY NAME IS IN THE STORY TOO AND I"M SOOO EMBARRASSED!! ---
Should I call the Newspaper's editor??? Will the Editor take it off line!!

Here's the deal, I'm 22 and I have a theory that all the money raised for elections can be used for a better purpose. I'm wondering if I started now, by the time I was 35 would I have enough grass root support to be elected. Here's a simple platform:

No war alliances if at all possible, I believe peace begets peace, and every little thing I do reflects on my country.

I may not have all the answers, but the people the people I choose to use for my experts will, or they will be fired.

I'm going on record now saying congress gets too much money, without the work, and I am going to try to change that as much as possible.

I want us as a nation to be as accepted worldwide as possible.

Although Global Warming is controversial now, I would like us to try to still work towards renewable energy sources, reason being is then there is not as desperate a need for it, thusly, less chance of fighting.

I have more views that I would be glad to share. I am just curious to see how far this goes.

I support a continued US presence in Iraq to prevent genocide in that country and prevent Iran from gaining a foothold there. Before any of you criticize my stand be advised that I plan to enlist in the Army after graduation because I believe that if we leave Iraq than it will result in horrible consequences. What is their plan? Beg the UN to do something. Give billions of dollars to Iran in exchange for a promise that they will not destabilize Iraq. I think the only plan they have will be to blame Bush instead of taking responsibility for signing the paper withdrawing our presence from Iraq.

I really don't understand what he means by this and how or why people buy it when he says it. There are a few reasons why that statement is completely idiotic:

A. Just because we are in Iraq wouldn't prevent some terrorists from coming to the U.S. to attack us.

B. The terrorists we are fighting in Iraq are not the ones who attacked us on 9/11; and the ones who attacked us on 9/11 are spread out in multiple countries. So us being in Iraq is not going to prevent these terrorists that are in Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc. from coming to the U.S. to attack us.

C. If we want to prevent terrorists from entering the U.S., we should enhance border security and deport illegal aliens (not grant immunity to them).

D. We should inspect 100% of cargo coming into the U.S., not just 5%.

will they be justified in forcing the Chinese way of life onto weaker nations, if not, then why are we justified in doing so. Let's not worry about which way of life is better, just would we be comfortable in having their way of life being shoved down our throats?

Everday I see them bashing president Bush for the war in Iraq. Yes, he used faulty intelligence for the war but he removed a dictator from power. I feel many americans are either so ignorant about what people who are ruled by dictators go through or are selfish. I personally support any president who tries to give people a decent life, even if he makes mistakes, at least, he tried. To ere is just human

every day i hear that us troop(s) died. Well, just about every day. ... there are different troops that have died almost each day. AND we are building the largest u.s. embacy in the world in iraq. Pull out of iraq?We're not leaving soon from the sounds of that. So the death rate gradually increased from the start, until it came to where every day on your msn home page you could see, well i don't know...5, 10, 14, troops reported dead. maybe i exzagerated it, but still.

Today's Head Line:

"US announces 9 troop deaths in Iraq
Centre Daily Times - all 304 related »"

Inside you read:

"A car bomb exploded Saturday in the Shiite holy city of Karbala as the streets were packed with people heading for evening prayers, killing at least 58 and wounding scores"


What makes 9 American lives more important than 58 Iraqi lives?

And people use this to say we need to get out. This proves we need to stay.

sorry, but i would say leave......
1.) iraq did absolutely NOTHING to the usa to start a war (unlike japan - pearl harbor), iraq was never a threat
2.) the surge is NOT working, don't listen to mccain saying "there's progress", he admitted he lied when he said that petraus could ride in a "unarmed humv", trying to confuse the american people like bush's WMD claim
3.) bush LIED about wmd's, he LIED in his "mission accomplished" speech
4.) bush wants us to wait until september to see if the surge is working, just to say "OOPS, we have messed up"
5.) all previous surges have failed
6.) the civil war is now starting to develop into a genocide
7.) the iraqi goverment has to be ACCOUNTABLE for their own goverment
8.) another vietnam? talk of a draft?

Again exact quote, in the hope of forestalling the liberal ..whine...
The American people are looking for us as Democrats," said Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. "They're looking for someone literally, not figuratively, to restore America's place in the world."

Biden said the country's other problems cannot be solved until the U.S. successfully deals with Iraq.

First, to equality precongnitive reading of unconditional failure as Harry Reid has done is going to be hard to justify as successfull handling and retreat is also difficult if not impossible to classify as a success. Unless they have George Stephanopolous and the spin doctors working overtime on this one, it appears Chuck Shumer isnt the only one who thinks Harry ought to put a cork in it.
The infighiting with the liberal extremist pelosi ites once they found out they cant deliver the magic pill on iraq is priceless..truly priceless...
