Are you out to prove my point about a chip on your shoulder?

No one is bashing troops. As a matter of fact everyone I meet is very pro-troops. And they are for the most part, very anti-bush.

Why is it that so many veterans are Democrats? Why is it that the ex-generals got together to denouce rummy? Are all of these people "liberal anti-military mongers"?

I would hope that one of the first things the new Congress does is investigate the no-bid contracts given halliburton and their sub-sidiaries. In addition to the no-bid part, investigating their failure to properly execute some of these contracts. Previously Congress did find that of 65 camps halliburton was supposed to supply clean water to, they were supplying highly polluted water.

If I complain about that, I suppose that is also not supporting the troops.

And where you came up with "the laughing stock of the world" when Clinton was in charge, I have no idea. Have you noticed there was an incredible sigh of relief from the ENTIRE WORLD Weds morning.

You really need to go to the eye doc and get your prescription checked cause I don't think you're seeing too clearly.

>Did you not listen to the big-mouth Kerry and his comments? I subscribe to Pro-fox also, and there are a lot of liberal anti-military mongers there also. Its funny to me how you can bash the military in one breath and in the next say "its never been about the military".

>When the libs in power succeed in demoting America as a world power and succed in failing to protect our interests then what I've said will come to pass. Its shades of the Clinton era all over again.

>Shame on you... don't bomb New York, we'll have to get tough. It took G.W.Bush and crew to show the terrorists that we'd back up what we threatened. As long as the feel-gooders are in charge, we can kiss pride in our country and the military professionals goodbye. There will be cuts in defense spending, the evisceration of the military like it was under Clinton, and we will once again be the laughing stock of the world.

>eople with chips on their shoulder. You're right. I've never, ever heard anyone say anything discouraging about our troops. I've never heard anyone, as I think it was Jake here who said it, wanted the USA to loose the war.

>>It's been about those at the top from day #1. Always about those at the top, who obviously had an agenda that didn't take into account troop safety. I.E. lack of body armor, lack of oversite of halliburton.

>>How it got turned around to "not made to feel like ignorant know-nothings..." is beyond me.

>>>Why do you say that? I haven't heard ANYONE blame the troops for the mess in Iraq. I think we all know who's to blame, and it isn't the troops.
