Yep ... haven't told any either. Guess you missed that part.



Hmmm ... maybe you didn't "miss that part" after all. Actually, the question isn't what I did ... but what YOU DIDN'T DO.

They had 50,000 desertions during the Vietnam war, one desertion under Obama and it's front page news for years. Get a grip.

1. Vietnam war was during the draft days, since then joining the Forces is voluntary.
2. There was no need to serenade a traitor with the Rose Garden drama.

1 There were plenty of enlistees during Vietnam that deserted.
2. yes the Rose Garden was overplayed.
3. Guantanamo will be close shortly to all but a few, the rest will be sent to other countries.

None of that trumps the ridiculous attention that this has received, are there mot more important things going on in the ME that one deserter receives this attention.

What more important things? Surely not 'Islamic terrorism' that Obama cant even get himself to say it.

You like being silly. Maybe you can explain what this means. I do not tell war stories, nor do I chase ghosts ...

And his trial, much to your delight, has been consistently block by Obama and his operatives because it would present a bad visual for Obama. People involved in much lesser accusations have been accused, tried and convicted in much less time. Of course these did not embarrass the king.

No, you go around the world spreading lies, at least in countries that allow you entrance.

Wow, Now that's creative here is the entire paragraph (Audacity & Hope Page 261) that you butchered by inserting the word Muslim among other things.

In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.
