That's a pretty low bar to compare themselves against.<BR/><BR/>When I served in the Army from 91 - 95, I never thought I would see a President worse than Bill Clinton. Then Bush came along.<BR/><BR/>Sure wish Dole had won, or McCain during the primaries, then we would n't have this type of problem.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04862444754305294030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9871253.post-51995153649277796282007-03-26T19:15:00.000-04:002007-03-26T19:15:00.000-04:00“Our media is more concerned over drug addicted si...“Our media is more concerned over drug addicted singers and play-boy bunnies than actual "goings on" in a war zone.”<BR/><BR/>Frank, you do raise a good point. While the death of Ms. Smith was a tradgedy, as any death is, it pales into relative obscurity compared with the ongoing deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan. The main item on the news here was the murder of Bob Woolmer, Pakistan Cricket coach, not the detention of 15 UK military personel by Iran. I guess society is the same the world over, or at least the media is – just keep telling everyone things are great and eventually they will start to believe it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9871253.post-4996940205595413672007-03-26T14:16:00.000-04:002007-03-26T14:16:00.000-04:00My main complaint has been that our "leadership", ...My main complaint has been that our "leadership", when it comes to war, any one after WWII, doesn't want to engage the population and let us all have an active stake in the war. Any president who told people after an attack on our soil to go shopping is horrible. My mother and father were alive during WWII, although not old enough to serve in WWII, my father did so in Korea, they told me about black outs, fuel rations, rubber drives and the like. Our "leadership" today is more concerned with keeping us at walmart and our media is more concerned over drug addicted singers and play-boy bunnies than actual "goings on" in a war zone. Until more than a few thousand families (those of our troops) are called apon to sacrifice and be engaged to help win a war, I can't support that war, for it is not even treated as a war by those waging it, they treat it more like a diversion, and I am more curious about what my attention is being diverted from.....<BR/>About this congress, I actually feel bad for the Dems. The're caught between "Iraq and a hard place". They were called apon to end the occupation of Iraq and people from a fringe group are now bad mouthing them because they won't cut funding to our troops. Am I a lefty? most defenitley, but I also know that just because you cut off spending doesn't mean the troops will come home.... They will be left there, unarmed, un supported (fiscally), by the president so he can say, "see what the liberals do." I am liberal sir, but I know a little about politicians, especially about the worst kind of politician, and the worst kind isn't a liberal or a conservative, no sir the worst politician (biggest liar) is a "Career Politician".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9871253.post-83083739466847210062007-03-26T09:31:00.000-04:002007-03-26T09:31:00.000-04:00Frank, I understand everything you have said above...Frank, I understand everything you have said above. BUT... here's my chief complaint:<BR/><BR/>The caliber of the men and women who fill those seats in the House and the Senate has so deteriorated that they no longer have the courage to declare a war. They sought to side step their power to declare war when they passed the "War Powers Act" back in the Nixon adminstration.<BR/><BR/>Yet, they absolutely insisted on voting to give Bush the OK to make war on Iraq. That,as you know, is a matter of record. <BR/><BR/>The current Congress we have is so spineless, I'm talking of BOTH parties now, they simply don't have the courage to do what is necessary to declare and/or win a war anymore. As a result, my friend, we have needless deaths of our precious military personnel while they bicker back and forth for political advantage.<BR/><BR/>This Congress is a piss-poor excuse for any group of Americans...period. <BR/><BR/>I have a suspicion you might actually agree me on this.<BR/><BR/>Best regards,<BR/><BR/>LongstreetLongstreethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06712980841544338388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9871253.post-59799346797743996512007-03-26T08:31:00.000-04:002007-03-26T08:31:00.000-04:00The dems can’t govern effectively, they cannot “se...The dems can’t govern effectively, they cannot “secure” the nation as they have never, in their entire history, proven themselves strong on National Security<BR/>******************************<BR/><BR/>What party was the last president from who actually won a Declared War? Who was the last president with the "Stones" to go to Congress and ask for a Declaration of War? What party was he from? How many nations were defeated by this Commander in Chief? And finally, how long did it take for him to win? Enough said.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
