As far as GWB uniform going to a library........it sure is better than having Monica's dress there!
We could go on and on with this forever.......let's just see what happens in Nov.
As far as my comment about fighting the fight on foreign soil.....I am sure you will see a few terrorist blow themselves up over here if we pull out of any of those areas for good. You'll be fighting the fight here instead.
Boy, some of you really, really have lousey memories. I can still remember watching the news when they did a number on the twin towers......I also remember the sound of bodies hitting the sidewalk and the newsman turning to see what the sound was. Think for a minute people. There were so many terrorist at that point and time that they would have sent them in droves if we had not taken the war to them. This war on terrorist is NEVER going to end.......so just deal with it!
I loved the comment that Obama made that it was not the right time to do anything about the illegals. You know and I know that he needs every one of them in this next election. The Dems don't have the kahunas to do the right thing. They never have.
Now, for those of you that have served your country......speak.....for those that haven't done a damn thing for this country, shut up.
What was it like being on a boat? The unit I was with, 14 Marines and 1 Navy Corpsman moved every 12 hours. We dug fighting holes every night.
No compound to retreat to. So, I have served my country and I'm speaking up.
Now, I respect the fact that you served, but don't for a minute think that you have a right to speak for everyone that served in Vietnam. I flat out don't agree with you.

Because some pea-brains think he meant the entire war in Iraq was over, done, finished, accomplished, and over with.

Unlike 0bama who stated Gitmo would be closed, and the troops in Iraq would be home.
