It was a valid question. He has sent young men and women to die. He should know how many.
But worse than that, HE LIED. It was obvious that he didn't have the current stats (shame on you, Handlers) But instead of answering truthfully "I don't know", HE LIED, and made up an answer, couching it in terms of "I think that..." No you don't. You have no idea. LIAR.
wow what a bitch reporter. I think our congressmen and women have more important things on their mind rather then the EXACT body counts from day to day. That is the job of the pentagon. 71 people probably died this month from bee stings is he also to know that stat as well?
actually there's only about 90-100 deaths resulting from bee stings a year but the fact is that 71 troops isnt a small amount. He supported the war. He should realize every life that is wasted for this awful war.
There are more liberals in Kentucky than you would think. Unfortunately there is a large population just under Cincinati that seems to think the Republican ticket is the way to go.
More liberals in KY than you think? *laughs* Do you live in KY? I do. There are more registered democrats, yes; doesn't mean there are more liberals. I personally don't think there are.
I left KY a few years ago, but I was there for 23 years and my family is all still there. Lexington and Louisville have a great liberal scene. I always found plenty to do if you want to active as a political person.
This guy definitely looks like an idiot. However it looks as if the democrats are going to clean up in this election. Hopefully they can put something forth to at least give a comprehensive strategy for Iraq. Im not talking about an exit date or anything like that. Just a strategy that is something different than a bumper sticker slogan would be nice.
Like everything else in Dubya's life other people will have to clean up his mess. The Democrats cannot walk away Iraq as they walk away from Bush's current police action/social worker fiasco soldier-killing PR non-plan. American troops will regroup at a relatively safe remove. Should the Democrats take Congress, things won't be easy because the Rethugs will, as they did in the 1990s, thoughtlessly obstruct and intentionally confuse everything they can...
Do you think the Democrats will withdraw the troops immediately? I don't think so. If Iraq gets much worse, Democrats wouldn't want to be left holding the bag either.
Actually, a democrat president will position the troops so that they can't defend themselves, hoping to generate massive US casualties thereby ginning up support for an immediate pull out.
Yeah, right. That's a great crystal ball you've got there gbroadfran. My advice to all those who still think this war was a great idea: enlist. If you can't enlist because of health or age, donate your income above housing and food to the effort so our children and grandchildren won't have to pay. That's if you REALLY support this war, and aren't just blowing wind on YouTube.
Of course I never said that the war was a great idea, just what a democrat president would do in 2008. I supported saving the troops (having served myself) by launching nuclear strikes on Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq and Iran. Then pulling the troops out of South Korea and launging multiple warheads against North Korea.
The War Party is not gonna give up the war just like that ... snap ... They are gonna fight to ESCALATE the war, not reduce it. Anyone who witnessed what they did during the Vietnam War knows that they are NOT gonna leave until they kill hundreds of thousands more Iraqis -- and then lose the war.
This idiot also voted for the Military Commissions Act effectively putting a knife wound in habeas corpus - as did the rest of the US Congressmen from Kentucky. What's going on in that state?
In Vietnam the War Party (then the Democrats) valued body counts as signs of winning the war. In this quagmire, the War Party (now the Republicans) are afraid of body counts because the world is appalled at their stupidity and every scientific study indicating high mortality increases the pressure to get out.
Gotta love the GOP's "compassionate conservatism". They're so compassionate, they don't even acknowledge how many people have died in Iraq from their district...Boo-YAH!
Turn the nation over to democRATS? Good idea, sport. Let's turn it over to the party of tax, spend, and retreat. The party of hypocrisy, racism, and entitlements. Yeah, good idea. Might as well turn your paycheck over to them now, genius.
You can tell you're not bi-partisan...And all those words you just used to describe the Democrats could easily be turned right back on the good ol' boys from the Republican Party...Can I say...brainwashed...
I suppose the neo-repugnicants version of 'no taxes' & spend spend spend is better? Both parties are guilty & we must arrest control of our country back from these theiving special interests politicians.
Shows how much you know about politics. Democrats are statistically PROVEN to be better with the Economy / Taxes and Civil Rights. Republicans are better with War / Terrorism. Those are facts based on statistics. I was quite happy when Clinton was in office. World has gone to hell now.
Tax, spend, and retreat? Under your 'conservative' boys, we have record deficit, and the US has all but called off the search for Bin Laden. Turn my paycheck over to them? I'm already in the top tax bracket, tough guy! It's so frustrating when these neo-republicans attempt to put in their two cents. Let me give you a little bit of advice, hrbib21- if you see 'andotech' has made a comment on youtube, before you respond try fact checking! Your bullshit won't fly here.
ur right Joe, did you notice how the GOP controlled govt. has cut funding for research on brain injuries (the most common traumatic injury in war) although I'm not sure the rich dems care any more either.
The draft dodgers who make up the Bush administration have no idea what its like to be in combat, or put their lives on hold to go to war, and miss watching their children grow, and have to put the burdon of raising their family on their spouse. The GOP has a deep hatred of our soldiers.
Geoff Davis, born in 1958, former Army Ranger, he looks healthy, I think he could better serve this country once more in the armed forces than in Congress.
