I think we should give Iran all we got...I think Iran supports Terrorist groups and teaches hate towards western socitey..

Now they old good people hostage for trest passing in Iranian waters...The U.K should threaten to blow them up, if there is no safe return for those service members...

I'm so sick of the Middle East....I wish we could bring every one home and fortify are borders and let the world go #@%$

It is my feeling that senate democrats are the best friends the Taliban and Al Quaeda have. I wonder whether those groups paid the democrats to put this to the vote. It is obvious that those democrats who voted that way are traitors to the US

Is the capture of 15 Brittons in the waters of Iraq, an act of Piracy, acceptable as an international act of war? Has piracy ever started a war before?

I ask this because our media tend to paint Iran and her people in a very bad light. The following is an excerpt of comments made by the female British soldier.

Captured Female U.K. Sailor Shown on Iran Television (Update1)
By Nick Allen and Mark Deen

March 28 (Bloomberg) -- A female U.K. sailor who was among a group of Britons seized by Iranian forces in the Persian Gulf was shown on Iranian television today.

Faye Turney, 26, wearing a black headscarf and smoking a cigarette, said her group had ``obviously trespassed'' into Iranian waters before their capture on March 23. The Iranians had been ``friendly and hospitable,'' she said.

``They were thoughtful, nice people and they explained to us why we had been arrested. There was no aggression, no hurt, no harm. They were very compassionate,'' Turney said.

Dear NBC Nightly News,

My name is Linda and I'm a student in Martin Tn. I work weekends with the girl who sent me the email at the end of this message. The email is from her friend, a young soldier in Iraq. You know, all we ever hear is how the war is bad, how everyone is against it and how much we don't need to be involved. I, for one, don't fall for that. This young man sends us an email about once a month. It appears that the soldier's viewpoint and the democrat politician's viewpoints are a bit off. I realize this operation is taking a while, well duh, we all knew that going in.... we knew it wouldn't just be a walk in the park and then come home. Over 47,000 (!!!) American soldiers were killed in vietnam 1965-1971. That's over a span of only 6 years. In 4 years we've lost just over 3000 soldiers. Any loss is unacceptable however this IS war we are talking about and there will be losses. Can't people see how few have been lost compared to other wars and conflicts? Why can't we have some positive viewpoints from Iraqi citizens and American soldiers to tell us the REAL story about what is going on over there? Not some made up political, one-sided, agenda based opinion? I want to hear from REAL Iraqi citizens, police and leaders and from REAL soldiers.
Just a thought, ANYBODY ELSE FEEL THIS WAY??

hey there- I just wanted to let everyone know what has been going on lately. First I must let you all know that we have lost a soldier. His name was SPC. Anthony Kaiser and he was killed by a snipper while engaged with insurgents on 17Mar07 at approx. 1320. He was killed the day I got back to Baghdad and he was my friend. Anthony was a New York State Trooper prior to joining the Army. He felt that he needed to be a part of what was going on over here. He has been awarded the Bronze Star with Valor for his actions that day. I was at least fortunate to be back for his memorial here and be a part of it since he was one of my guys. He will be missed.
Recently the Army has started an opperation that has been very productive. It has also been costly. If anyone asks you if what we are doing here is unimportant and we shouldn't be here, then let me tell you this. Durring this op the Army has collected plane tickets to Chicago. Some from as recent as two months ago and some for a future trip. They have collected bogus passports for multiple individualls and documentation to get them into the US. Not to mention the weapons and bomb making materials they use against us here. But this to has cost us some good people. An IP (Iraqi Police Officer) was killed yesterday by an IED and it wounded three Army personell two severely. They underwent surgery here and have been transported to Germany for further observation. No one here wants to quit. They want to go home, but only when they are done. The area and the province is busy as I have said before, but it is managable if the polititians would just allow the Army to do what they do.
I am fine and have been keeping busy. They haven't let me go out lately due to seat issues, and not having enough to let me put my butt in one. But it is going well. I have finally got my own place and I don't have to walk across the street to take a shower so that is nice.
I spent some time in Jordan on my way back here and I got to go to Petra. It was wonderful. I can only compare it to the Grand Canyon. It is truly a marvel and if you are ever in the neighborhood you have to go see it. I didn't get to go to the Dead Sea because of snow if you can believe it. But Petra was definitely cool. I will attach a picture of me there.
Everything is good and it is moving right along. I can't think of anything I or my Army guys need right now so that is good to. I just wanted to let you all know about our recent loss and our wounded. Just remember that we do need to be here, and that these kids are keeping the wolf off of your door...really. I got the proof.

War profiteer.
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=54932

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., has abruptly walked away from her responsibilities with the Senate Military Construction Appropriations Subcommittee after a report linked her votes to the financial well-being of her husband's companies, which received billions of dollars worth of military construction contracts she approved.

"Feinstein abandoned MILCON as her ethical problems were surfacing in the media, and as it was becoming clear that her subcommittee left grievously wounded veterans to rot while her family was profiting from the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. It turns out that Blum also holds large investments in companies that were selling medical equipment and supplies and real estate leases – often without the benefit of competitive bidding – to the Department of Veterans Affairs, even as the system of medical care for veterans collapsed on his wife's watch," he wrote.

Should the president be telling our enemies when we are pulling the troops out of war? i think he should not be telling this cause when we do pull them out is tells them yeah come over here and bomb us. And yeah come over here and start war in the U.S. This is not cool at all. I mean what is he thinking. I bet if Hilary was in office she wouldn't be telling our enemies nothing of the short.

How can you still find Bush an Honorable man when he said on the news that since the Dems have oppossed him, he is going to Veto there bill for emergency funds for the support of the soliders and then it will be all the Dems fault that they didn't get the money because they wouldn't do what he wanted?

If you truely think about it, it's all his fault if the troops don't get the money because he Veto-ed the bill.
