Is there something illegal, improper, unethical or immoral about that? Bundling was invented by Bush supporters, but I know of no law that restricts the legitimacy of the practice to the Republicans.

I'm not sure Congress specifically approved this war under these circumstances. I believe what Congress did was to authorize their president to judge, on a day by day basis, when and whether a war was an appropriate response to a critical escalation of events, and to engage in his war if he thought it was, without having to come back to Congress when he thought war was necessary. That does not mean that Congress said "Go ahead and bomb them, even if you find out that there are no WMDs and that it will be a quagmire that will be worse instead of better 7 years from now". It means they trusted a narcissistic sociopath to act like a president. Bush knew there were no WMDs, and the progress of the war could have been predicted by the Tampa school children he was reading to on 9/11.
Really? Then he was way smarter than MI-6 and the Mussad combined as well as the resst of the world who pretty much believed Saddam had WMD's. He did after all use them on His own people as well as Iranians.
Congress saw the the Intel Bush saw. Congress voted to go after the WMD's and Saddam. As it turned out the Intel was wrong. But we were already there and a country was left out of control and ripe for Extremists take over.
I am and was against the war. I did my time over there. Democracy requires people to be willing to compromise. Compromise is not what the extremists over there are about. Hearts and minds a pipe dream. Not because the average citizen wouldn't feel grateful because they do. But because the religious leaders are to fanatical to see reason, to feel compassion even for thier own, and most definetly too in love with power.
Napalm: The planes dropping Napalm moving at 400 kbots don't have time to watch babies die. That said was Napalm even used in Iraq? When was the last time we targeted civilians for collatoral damage?
Back on topic. No the marines as a unit are not criminals. Individuals within the Corp have violated laws and orders. The few who have are criminals.

I have known many Marines while I served. By many i mean hundreds. I only met a few who I would call a bulley.
Soldiers of fortune= Mercenary.
Mercenary= someone who fights for money not loyalty, or patriotic duty. I never met a Marine that was anything but patriotic.

Obama personally asked Jodie Evans to co-chair a Hollywood fundraiser for him. She did.

Sorry, I'm sort of losing track here. Does your sentence imply that that is OK, or that it is reprehensible?

(JODIE EVANS) Jeremiah Wright on estrogen

Jeremiah Wright on estrogen

© 2008

Last Friday in this column I reported on a brewing scandal that would be front-page news on the New York Times if the developments had concerned anyone other than their hero: Barack Hussein Obama.

Instead, the new media was left to pick up and disseminate how one of Barack Obama's presidential campaign bundlers is Jodie Evans – a political ally to Venezuelan dictator, Hugo Chavez, and an advocate for Islamic militants.
