I wasn't in favour of getting involved.

But the MOMENT our military was committed to it, I FULLY backed them.

jeez, i find the hypocrisy almost unbearable

If they'd take me, I'd be happy to do whatever I could. But I tried that in 2002 and was told thanks but no thanks.

Thank you for your service KoobleKar. I served in the US Army for 10 years.

Then I salute you as well Sir.....

SEMPER FI!

I'm sure Mr Robocop or whatever his name is doesn't quite grasp the significance of SERVICE to your Country and never will.

I tend to agree with this one soldier. We should send Bush to Libya to "rescue" them, in fact I even suggest giving Mr. Bush a M1 tank so he doesn't have to walk.

After all Libya is one country that won't charge him with war crimes so he should feel right at home, other than a lack of brush to burn.

I kind of see an epic FAIL on your part.

For what "war crimes" is George H. Bush accused of?

into illegal, undeclared, unconstitutional wars. korea, vietnam, yugoslavia, iraq, afghanistan. you are sure right i don't. i have a brain and can tell the difference between a war for freedom and a war to protect the money printers at the fed. you people get all excited about these special handshakes and code words, without for one second considering that you're just pawns for special interest. to a certain extent i guess we all are, i'm just not prepared to die directly for that special interest. it really is quite said. i hope that some day you can let go of your anger enough just to allow some enlightenment through

If anyone is acting like a spoiled little brat here, it's you.

You lack any appreciation for those who have spilled their blood for the rights you enjoy. Don't worry, your rights were handed to you on a silver platter even if you did nothing to earn them.

You don't HAVE to THANK anyone, but you could at least show some common courtesy and respect.

You mention bloodlust, but haven't got a clue what combat's like. If you did, you'd KNOW that those who fight the wars abhor war the most.

You don't seem to have any compassion at all for those people who seek democracy and are dying for that desire as we type. We want to put an end to the bloodletting, while you are happy to allow it to continue.

You remind me of the type of person who'd let a little old lady get beat up by young thugs and not lift a finger in her defense. That's NOT something to be proud of in case you think it is. It a callous disregard for others. And it could be YOU someday in need of a helping hand.

You only live under a blanket of freedoms that others provided for you.... and in that struggle, another nation came to our aid just the same as we are proposing doing in Libya.

Anger, you say. Yeah, you would know.

For starters...

Bush Can’t Travel Abroad Without Risking Arrest
Bush Can

War Crimes Conference Seeks Ways to Prosecute Bush
War Crimes Conference

Just because somebody is born with a platinum spoon in their mouth and is wealthy and well connected enough to escape justice, does not mean that they are not guilty of crimes.
