I was looking at some numbers and it is sad, when a funding bill for an intelligence agency has come up in Congress over the last 20 years, it only gets on average 58% support from Democrats and surprising only 52% of Republicans ( who you would think would be higher given how they like to claim they are strong on security). Then you always hear them say we support the troops (Debatable if ANY of them mean it or just say it to look good), and talk show hosts calling the troops Brave Americans (or as I heard today, "The only people left in America who you can truly respect"). I don't mean to demean the troops or the personal at the Pentagon, but as a little brother oftens says, what about me?

You would think they would support the intellegence community more, especially since our enemies aren't dumb enough to go toe to toe with our troops.

Every party in government needs one another. It is not a time to divide this country in any way. It is time to unite this country because we have a clear enemy who plans to conquer our nation and convert our people to Islam. Any American who does not support the American troops is a traitor and the lowest among our people.

Well, and people are surprised we went into Iraq with faulty intelligence.

Politicians don't support intelligence, period.
