Thank goodness America had boys as young as 12 lying about their age to get into uniform to fight Hitler. They were Americans to be proud of! Poor George Soros spent his time helping Nazis confiscate property from the condemned.
The truth...Richardson raised taxes in NM for the middle income and lowered taxes for the rich...just like Bush! He supports a health plan that protects insurance companies-not people...shameful! He refuses to help the support staff at UNM hospital... 40% of those hard working employees qualify for medicaid. Nearly 50% are hispanic! More shameful behavior! They deserve better! They deserve a living wage! Do the right thing. It's not too late!

Votevets is a creature of George Soros'. To suggest that it speaks for "the troops" is ludicrous. It consists of some washed out Clinton Generals (Wes Clark, Batiste, Eaton, etc.), some "phony" vets, and a few other malcontents. Votevets is a joke.
I'm an army veteran. Are you? Somehow I get the strong odor of chickenhawk here...
Veterans have every right to stand up for their fellow soldiers and veterans. This war based on LIES (where, pray tell, is that WMD?) is killing and maiming our soldiers every single day while we kill Iraqis by the thousand. Go VoteVets! Keep up the great work!
RON PAUL 2008!!! To protect the constitution from enemies foreign and DOMESTIC...like anti-American chickenhawks who want a global empire! NAZI SCUM!!!
SineadNiC: Hey man. Referencing your comment "where are the WMD's". It made me think back when the "President" was speaking at a banquet and was making a joke about the missing WMD's. He got a laugh so he milked it; even to the point of looking under his podium...he's is crimminal...I say impeach the bastards!!!
Impeached? Oh no... it's too late for that. They started this illegal war, they continued it, they lied about it & now they're leaving it for the next group of leaders. I wouldn't be suprised if the election is already fixed to hand everything over to the dems so they can later be blamed for "screwing it all up". This NWO and the government's plans for the middle east was planned long ago. Trust me, they have a "30 year plan" (at least) and the powers that be will see that it is carried out.
You can tell from his expression and his body language that he DOES know. If he answered honestly, he, like his predecessors who told the truth, would be fired.
Since GW Bush is so interested in making paid speeches after his presidency maybe congress can vote him a captain's pay and send him over to Iraq to give speeches of encouragement to the troops and speeches about the joys of democracy to the Iraqi people. I know its a bit of a demotion, but who says congress can't draft him in 2009. At least it might bring an early end to the war.
The only thing the Republicans care about is keeping the war going and the cash flowing. As long as other people's kids are losing arms, eyes, and balls, this is one big Republican cashflow party.
Well put. Just look at what Republican House Minority Leader Boehner said- HE SAID THAT THE THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS KILLED AND TENS OF THOUSANDS WOUNDED WAS A "SMALL PRICE." I want someone to ask Boehner, "Congressman, would you call it a 'small price' if YOUR son was killed?" Why are the so called liberal media not grilling Boehner on this...like they grilled Kerry over a botched joke. The difference is, Boehner MEANT what he said- he even repeated it.
@blogswarm AND KILLING FOR FALSE REASONS INNOCENT PEOPLE DON T BE TOO SELFISH AND REOPEN 9/11 SOON WIKILEAKS LL COME WITH THE REAL TRUTH it ll be a nice nice day for the World

Gen. Petraeus (his name sounds Roman) is impressive to me. I definitely believe the guy. He didn't give the political answer. He'll let others do that. He is doing a miserably hard job with integrity.
If he has integrity why didn't he just admit that Iraq is a lost cause for America instead of saying "i don't know' when asked whether the war in Iraq would make America safer?
Are you kidding me? This jackass is supposed to be in charge of things in Iraq and he can't even tell us if the billions of dollars, thousands of US and tens of thousands of Iraqi lives, will do *anything* to make us safer? General Betray US already has.
these videos don't hurt morale they let the men on the ground know there are people at home trying to get them home so they die for the oil companies and if you think this war was anything more than that then maybe you need to look past the propaganda and think for yourself....
From a soldier who has served in Iraq on the ground i would just like to state that these kinds of vidoes dont do well for our morale we are makeing head way in Iraq and we dont want to leave untill the mission is done IF we leave now all of my brothers in arms who have payed with there blood to keep this contry safe there lifes will have been for nothing!!
I must admit that I am on the fence on this issue leaning heavily toward pulling out. It is not that I disrespect the troops. You have done an admirable job with the task you were given, but my question really comes down to the Iraqis. Are they willing to fight as hard as you for a unified Iraq? Do we have realistic goals for Iraq? At what point do we say we can come home? If the war is not going well, at what point do we have to concede that the ongoing conflict is too costly?
Apollo11222, your words denote the noble and valiant spirit that has made our country great. That same spirit won our independence in 1776, overcame slavery in 1865 and fascism in 1945. But in order to win, spirit--essential to winning any battle--also needs a clear enemy, well-defined objectives, solid military leadership, ardent home-front support and an unquestionably noble cause. These were not present in Vietnam and, tragically, are now missing for the current conflict.
Apollo11222, no one will ever dispute the motives of front-line men and women such as you, especially your brothers and sisters who have paid the ultimate price. (Questioning the motives and methods of the leaders who sent you to that desert hell is an entirely different matter.) The argument to continue hostilities only has merit if this war is winnable.
Apollo11222, before our arrival the British, who created the bitterly-divided concoction we now know as Iraq, ultimately determined it was not winnable, washed their hands and walked away. We now face the same dilemma. Deep down in every American's heart and soul we know the right thing to do is to leave the Iraqi nation to its own destiny. God will guide them to peace and prosperity when He thinks it time to do so. What is needed now, here in America, is the courage to do the right thing.
So we should keep letting your pals get killed? Are you going to explain to their parents that they died because no one knew what they were doing?
More people should die because some have already? For what? A Muslim theocracy run by Al-Sadr? So that their women can be oppressed, just like in Saudi Arabia?
If you can learn to kill someone, you can learn these facts and make a better decision about this war.
The video only shows Patraeus unable to make the case that the mission is worthwhile when questioned by Republican senators, two of whom are veterans. I'd bet that isn't that great for morale at all. It's not like the general came unprepared...Just sayin'
The General came with a report written by the white house. Check out some of the Daily Show video from Tuesday night. There were big passages of his testimony lifted directly from recent Bush speeches.
It's a sham. Bush wants to put it off on the next guy up. He's afraid to be the guy who lost the war of choice.
Maybe they are not as concerned about morale as they are about the lives of soldiers and innocent civilians. Maybe they are more concerned with saving this country from economic collapse than they are about morale. I would bet a lot of troops' morale would go way up if they got to come home.
Mccrystal was my kind of man.
