My advice is not to trust anyone in politics or with money on the table. Remember this power game is chess not checkers.

The actual quote-
"The majority of the nation no longer supports the WAY this war is being fought; nor does the majority of our military,"
He went on to say-
"The war's costs to our nation have been staggering. Financially. The damage to our reputation around the world. The lost opportunities to defeat the forces of international terrorism, and especially the precious blood of our citizens who have stepped forward to serve."
BTW, Webb's son is serving in Iraq now.

Well, it was sort of front page news in all the military news publications - the majority of the military no longer supports the way this war is being fought (which is actually what he said, NOT that they are against the war as you write).
The speech:

The facts he cited about the military:

Uhhh, honestly, the source you link to, if you scroll down a little, has a picture of Barack H. Obama and passage out of Corinthians, implying Obama is the Anti Christ.
That really doesn't do a lot for your credibility. If this is a legitimate story, link to its reporting by a legitimate news source.
However,I believe it to be just more "say anything to discredit real veterans and war heros" Republican BS.

You are the lowlife. Sitting on your *** commenting on a patriot like Webb like you know anything.
Go to Iraq fool if you like it so much.
Americans are tired of chickenhawks like you, your draft-dodging "decider" Bush, and Chickenhawk Cheney.
Its beyond your dumb libs vs cons nonsense.
your website is biased bullshit- so basically go fuuuck! yourself.

I don't think he did, the link you provided is obscure and from an extremist right wing group...about as bad as the conspiracy theorists

How do you think the Dems got elected? they were all for getting out of Iraq soon. The majority of the country does want us out.
