How many troops must die before we get a massive, lovely Wall, with names engraved? Where will it be? Will you visit it? What year will it be built?

Maj. Gen. George W. Weightman was recently relieved of command as head of the Walter Reed Medical Center as a result of the controversey surrounding the poor conditions of outpatient housing. The article linked below has this sentence "...Being relieved of command means Weightman is almost certain to have lost his future in the Army." That sentence is a bit unclear to me. Does that he he's fired from the army? will never promote again? gets stripped of his retirement benefits?

I know it varies, obviously. But the IRaq Casualitie website usually says "While conducting operations..." .... Is it usually soliders/marines on convoys, or patrolling dangerous areas, etc?...

If elected Obama says that he would start withdrawing troops in march of next year, so that they may be redeployed to the northern provinces, and to protect the borders, unless the Iraqi government takes over and shows sincere determination to run its own country and keep it secure, or the military Generals determine it would be unsafe to do so. I think it is the better plan out of three candidates for democratic nominations, Edwards just wants to withdraw 20,000 to 40,000 troops and hiliary's policy is still unclear. Obama also voted against legislation to cut funding to troops, showing that he is a democrat not for the policy of cutting and running. Do you think this is a good plan regarding the war in Iraq?

The United Nations charter has a provision which was agreed to by the United States formulated by the United States in fact, after World War II. It says that from now on, no nation can use armed force without the permission of the U.N. Security Council. They can use force in connection with self-defense, but a country can't use force in anticipation of self-defense. Regarding Iraq, the last Security Council resolution essentially said, 'Look, send the weapons inspectors out to Iraq, have them come back and tell us what they've found -- then we'll figure out what we're going to do. The U.S. was impatient, and decided to invade Iraq -- which was all pre-arranged of course. So, the United States went to war, in violation of the charter.

It's now well established that George W. Bush never showed up for National Guard duty for a period of approximately one year, possibly more, in 1972-1973. Despite all the talk about "honor and dignity," President Bush has apparently flushed his down the toilet. President Bush went AWOL!! Cheney himself also received 5 deferments! Both of these men are “Chicken Hawks.”

Bush says he's released all his records...if that's true, then has anyone seen:
Any pages from Bush's flight log
Records from the Flight Inquiry Board convened after Bush was suspended as a pilot
Any evidence of Bush's reclassification into another AFSC after suspension as a pilot
Any photos of George Bush in a military uniform after 1972
Anything at all from any Alabama unit with Bush's name on it
Any copies of form 44a from the Alabama National Guard certifying attendance
Air Force Form 142 (Aviation Service Audit Worksheet) ???

ROBERT BURNS, AP Military Writer
By Robert Burns, AP Military

WASHINGTON - The Army said Thursday that the two-star general in charge of Walter Reed Army Medical Center has been relieved of command following disclosures about inadequate treatment of wounded soldiers.
In a brief announcement, the Army said service leaders had "lost trust and confidence" in Weightman's leadership abilities "to address needed solutions for soldier outpatient care." He had headed Walter Reed since Aug. 25, 2006Army and the Defense Department launched a series of investigations after The Washington Post published a series of stories last week that documented problems in soldiers' housing and in the medical bureaucracy at Walter Reed, which has been called the Army's premier caregiver for soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan.

So they fire him. Not even there a full year. But we all know that the problems were long-standing (see more before answering)

......as it clearly states all reasons, goals and objectives for the U.S. lead invasion of Iraq, a large part of which are goals that have now been met. This was signed by most of your now lying, leftist leaders who were at the time in total agreeance with the WORLD community's intelligence and stance on the imminent dangers of Iraq's foreign policy.

I'm writing an essay and I need a better ending help me out?
This is from the aspect that I am president and I need to make a decision about taking the troops out of iraq Reguardless of you opinion help me with an ending please

As the president of the United States of America, my job as president takes some critical thinking. One bad decision and nations could collide. One wrong mistake and mass war could break loose. I have to take into consideration all sides and weigh the consequences. As the American people shout, “Take our troops out of Iraq and leave the country alone!” I also have to consider what could be the consequences of removing the forces which keep the country together. In addition to opposing Americans, if I make the wrong decision it could break relationships between countries and cause many problems. While 75 percent of the American population votes to take Americans out of Iraq, this is a decision that would take careful weighing.
America is a country based

Do you think this was the right thing to do given the accusations of inadequate treatment of wounded soldiers? Do you think that the charges against the Medical Center are actually considered inadequate treatment? Or do you think that the Army has the right to keep wounded soldiers from talking to the media?

I think that even if you don't support the war you should at least support the men and women over there. I am so sick of people protesting the war and badmouthing our troops! They are brave and need us to support them.

What do you think??
