While I disdain the war in Iraq, I do agree that the soldiers need material support. Yes, their efforts may be for a dubious cause, but think about it. Many of these soldiers have no access to everyday goods such as shampoo and clean clothes. Same goes for many of their families, most of whom come from working-class or poor backgrounds. Don't be against the soldiers, be against the war.
You know what folks? Whether you agree with the war on a political level or not, supporting our troops is a whole other matter. The kids bleeding and giving their lives over there don't have one little say in what the politicians do. They signed up for good and honorable reasons. I salute every single one of them...whether they fight in the sand or mountains, whether they're on a ship or in the air or even on American soil.
I support troops everywhere, but this is bullshit american propaganda- "these young men are heroes" what the fuck would you know about that? i've been deployd to helmand province, it was a good job we did down there, and still doing..
but myself, and my fellow troops, we arent heroes, we are just doing our jobs.
@SweetPlague Thank you for serving. However, I'm sorry. I'll disagree with you on if you and your fellow troops are heroes or not. You were willing to go. You went. You make me proud. I count you as a hero. Thank you for giving up so much for all of us. I count my thanks toward the allies as well.
I love you guys! Thank you for all that you do! Tons of love to my friends and family fighting for our freedom. I would like to thank EVERYONE for all of their love and support!
Keep one VERY IMPORTANT fact in mind....Freedoms Watch was founded and is currently funded by some very powerful agents working for Israel. I support our Troops and AMERICA, NOT ISRAEL!!!! I dont see any flag draped coffins coming home with Iraeli Flags on them...do you????
Mel Sembler and Dick Cheney forged Freedoms Watch...if Jesus said "blessed are the peacemakers" then what would he say of the War-mongers????
Israelis wouldn't do well in Afghanistan or Iraq. They wouldn't be welcomed by the new governments in either country. Think that through before you speak, please.
The REASON the troops are AWAY from their families is because the UNITED STATES deliberately CHOSE to launch an aggressive and unprovoked war against Iraq. The 160,000 U.S. troops in Iraq's 25 million population is equivalent to 1.92 million Iraqi soldiers in the U.S (X12). If 1.92 million Iraqi soldiers were occupying the USA what would you do as an American? Join the American insurgency against the hated invader or be a collaborator? Americans just don't get it. You are not the good guys here.
These morons can't even begin to answer your question of what they would do if a foreign power invaded our country. It's a great question that exposes them for the idiots they are. You can be sure they would answer; we would defend our country and our freedoms.
In general, the only people who can make liberals look good are southern, rural hicks, who march in lock step to their own politically correct, mindless support of american militarism and imperialism.
i love the troops, just today i met a soldier who was attacked by an IED he had scars on his shaved head. i opened the door politly and i said thank you for serving our country so bravely, might i add that he had a 3 month old son. i support the troops for this reason, i am an american, i happen to agree with the war. but not only for that reason weather you aggree or not. they defend protect and serve, do not disrespect our soldiers. Thank you for serving your country so bravely, god bless you!
if you dont like america, THAN GET OUT. GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS, THANK YOU FOR SERVING OUR GREAT NATION. HOOAH P.S.DONT EVER FORGET SEPT.11,2001 AND THOSE THAT DIED THAT DAY, WHILE THEY WERE AT WORK.
US INVADED: Mexican troops murdered former Rio Bravo mayor, a US federal legislator and 4 others US federal agents yesterday, Jan.8th, on US soil. OUR Federal agents prevented local reporters from accessing the scene, roughing up photographers and threatening others with arrest.DEMAND EXPLANATIONS! USELESS SENATORS, MAYORS & GOVERNORS MAKE USELESS PRESIDENTS! KNOW--B4 U VOTE
The army, air force and navy all contribute to the ron paul campaign more then any other candidate republican or democraic. You owe it to the troops to find out why. Support the troops by finding out more about ron paul, and supporting ron paul.
Thank them for what? Slaughetering inncocent people in the Middle East for corporate profits? Fuck them is more like it. May they and all who support their genocidal imperialism be damned.
If you really want to support the troops, register republican and vote in the primaries for the man the troops donated the most money to . . . The only candidate who will commit to bringing them home immediately.
Dude, we do what we hope is right, by sacrificing family and friends to try to stop assholes from giving us another sucker punch in America. So we fucking take suck punches over there. Bro don't fuck up the little we have. Terrorist don't support us, people like you don't support us. Come on I don't go to your job and kick the mop out of your hand.
i am an amarica soldier and i have family in fighting in he war do you, untill you know what its like not having your own brother home for christmas then you can talk about this war and this country, intill then why dont you grab a gun and stand a post and fight for the freedom you injoy everyday of your life
Untill you know what it's like having American imperialist terrorists slaughter you entire village STFU- you're no hero. You are a dog and a murder. I hope your over fed American family suffer the death and carnage you have inflicted on others.
how dare you say something like that have you been to the streats of bagdad have you seen with your own eyes the women and children runing at you and thanking you for freeing them, or do you just sit on your ass and let the media tell you whats going on over there O and dont ever call and amarica soilder a terrorist they are out there away from everyone and everything they love fighting for the freedom that gives you there right to say that
Wow, that was an idiotic thing to say! I will admit, Bush is an idiot for sending our troops to Iraq for all the wrong reasons, but regardless of wherever our troops are and regardless of whom our president is and what party he/she represents, they are still defending our country and our freedom, and they will ALWAYS have our respect. This still however doesn't change my opinion about that idiotic leader of a president we've got! Time for either Ron Paul or Barrack Obama in 08!
They are there in Iraq against their own will (at least most of them are)! It's not their fault that an idiot of a president sent them. However, regardless of the reason, you should still gave them credit because they are willing to fight for their country REGARDLESS OF WHO IS IN OFFICE, and you have the nerve to call me an idiot! That was really uncalled for!! It makes no difference if it is even 5, 10, or even 15 years from now, they dedicated themselves to protect the country in some way!
they arent there against thier will. they have a brain and can use it to say no to the bullshit they created and enforced. i disrespect all troops for this reason. they are just apart of the problem as bush and his regime.
You are wrong! THEY ARE THERE AGAINST THEIR WILL! If you enlisted in the military, whether it's the army, marines, navy, etc. and have been called to duty, YOU HAVE TO GO, if you don't it's jail time and heavy fines! Also, one of my friends HAD TO GO for almost a year, so don't put words in their mouths, because you don't know what you're talking about. These are troops who would defend our country whether we have a good or bad president and whether the war is justified or not.
that sucks but then again, with the us' foreign policy, why would you want to join the army? our gov has done nothing but bad since and before the est. of the UN. I know we didn't sign it but we helped to create it which is pretty much saying you agree with it. BTW, the UN isn't crediable since they pick and choose who should be sanctioned and who shouldn't even be looked at COUGH Israel...
I find that Peter Griffin (from Family Guy) would be much smarter than the Bush administration combined, too bad it's just a cartoon character, but you get the idea.
Also, my friend whom I mentioned in my last comment cannot stand Bush and Cheney and his cabinet. He felt he shouldn't have gone, but had no choice unless he WANTS to rot in a cell for a LONG TIME! So not all troops support Bush, there are those who are against his bullshit!
Oh, and by the way, do you have something against the troops IN GENERAL?!? These guys are brave human beings even though we may have smart and/or idiotic presidents in this great nation of ours! These are the guys who would do anything to defend this country, but it is stupid that they were forced to go to an unnecessary war in Iraq to begin with! I give them credit for at least enlisting in the military. Bush, however, is nothing but trouble for our nation.
Freedom's watch Ad basically tries to portrait them as the only supporters of the troops, therefore saying that if you don't support them, YOU ARE UNAMERICAN. I agree with the message of thanking our troops, but not the organization.
Oh this add is so inspiring, it almost made me cry. NOT. This is jingoism at it's best. How about you donate the money it took to air that sappy ad and donate it to treat TBI the most common injury in iraq, how about donate it to veterans who come back with PTSD, how about do something worthwhile, how does this actually HELP the troops you stupid fucking rightwing frauds
If you want to honour your troops how about full and unflinching HEALTH CARE AND EDUCATION for your veterans rather than a soft focus puff piece about god country and gratitude.
Actually if you want to do anything for the troops, bring them home.
Who cares who pays for it. Its not about the damn war, but thanking our troops for their willingness to travel to another country to try and help them have the same freedoms that you also enjoy and take for granted.
Fuck you retard. You actually believe nations fight wars for the freedom of others? What a joke- you must have a 1st grade education and the reasoning ability of a maggot.
I support the troops in Iraq, I support the war because it is a just cause to fight terrorism. And also I support President George W. Bush because he is a strong leader with great values and he gets my utmost respect.
God Bless America.
Merry Christmas to the United States Armed Forces.
1 - disturbingly stupid people feel they must argue topics on the internet. believe me, none of you are speaking logic, and assuming in your little world you are using logic, the people you're talking to have already made up thier minds on thier shitty bias, so its useless anyways. it youtube! hello!
markkorea33m Another man who bragged he "brought peace in our time" and was responsible for avoiding war and winning through peace and appeasement was Neville Chamberalin. He made the biggest mistake in world history. WWII STILL HAPPENED! He ignored the warnings from Winston Churchill.
CC hey since you can not serve in the military but you are so Gung Ho, go to CPOL online or USAJOBS online and get a job as a civilian in Iraq, they need graphic artists you can get a 1st hand experience in the war
can anyone tell me why so many people not having to serve and any armed forces always chooses to DICTATE to those who do serve how best to SERVE and then have the nerve to say "thank you"-------slave-----
markkorea33m FYI I was born in Camp Pendleton, my father was a marine, his father was marine, one of my uncles was a marine, and the other served in the Army (he was killed in Vietnam). As I said, I did try to enlist... THREE TIMES. When you start talking with an "almighty" attitude, is shows you intelligence is not as high as you think.
your ASSumtions show that you think knowone else families serve all the men in my family have also served since immigrating to America in the 1920's so its not a high and mighty attitude to listen to what soldiers say instead of right wing blogg sphere
A complete lack of humility with respect to one's service is a telltale sign of someone who either completely doesn't understand why we in the armed forces serve or is a fake perpetuating a lie that they did serve. Most often it is a fake...
"to provide for the common defense" preable United States Constitution - nothing about Empire building in there, or the constitution or the bill of rights - Neocon sickness we have the cure "RON PAUL" google'em
markkorea33m Just because people feel the necissity of being in this war does not mean we (they) are war mongers or love being at war. It means we believe in protecting our country. People like scentless think that bringing our troops home will end the war.
so why didn't we invade Saudi Arabia, 14 of the 19 hijackers were from Saudia Arabia, and one is alive in Morocco protesting his innocence in the French Embassy's custody
markkorea33m: In bin Laden's 1996 Fatwa: "We say to the Defence Secretary that his talk can induce a grieving mother to laughter! and shows the fears that had enshrined you all. Where was this false courage of yours when the explosion in Beirut took place on 1983 AD (1403 A.H). You were turned into scattered pits and pieces at that time; 241 mainly marines solders were killed. And where was this courage of yours when two explosions made you to leave Aden in lees than twenty four hours!
Air strikes were scheduled on the barricks by Regan on AlQaeda in Syria and were called off by the sec of defense. Why didnt we get them then? shortly after the Marines were killed in Beirut, lack of action then?
"America had entered with 30,000 soldiers in addition to thousands of soldiers from different countries in the world. ... As I said, our boys were shocked by the low morale of the American soldier and they realized that the American soldier was just a paper tiger."
He was unable to endure the strikes that were dealt to his army, so he fled, and America had to stop all its bragging and all that noise it was making in the press after the Gulf War in which it destroyed the infrastructure and the milk and dairy industry that was vital for the infants and the children and the civilians and blew up dams which were necessary for the crops people grew to feed their families.
watch "Power of nighmares" and you will see where the philosphy of AlQeasa and the "neoconcervatives" get their ideology, one is from a crazed muslim, the other a crazed "Leo Strauss that studied under a nazi war criminal
Support our troops, they support Ron Paul. Obviously it's not unAmerican to want to end this "war". Did you know American forces occupy 130+ countries. I'm sorry, that sounds more like an empire than a republic.
Amen brother, you can't sensor the blimp - RON PAUL BLIMP com - Ron Paul rEVOLution! Vive'Ron Paul - anyone see the CIA tapes i know the CIA says they have not, thats real American "hiding Interrogation tapes?"
markkorea33m: US withdrawal from Iraq and/or Afghanistan would be a huge victory for terrorism. It would be guaranteed to inspire many new terrorist attacks worldwide. Terrorists are not provoked by American actions--they are inspired by what they see as American weakness. When al Qaeda chops heads, bin Laden revels in watching American liberals blame Bush. It proves to him that we are weak and decadent.
But your most disgraceful case was in Somalia; where— after vigorous propaganda about the power of the USA and its post cold war leadership of the new world order— you moved tens of thousands of international force, including twenty eight thousands American solders into Somalia.
i was in Somalia, the biggest problem is that our hands were tied, and there was information leaks that we still today can not tie down that compromised myself and my peers, leaving myself disfigured and having to switch jobs in the Army. i know about somalia
Proud of this destruction, America assumed the titles of world leader and master of the new world order. After a few blows, it forgot all about those titles and rushed out of Somalia in shame and disgrace, dragging the bodies of its soldiers."
I'm not crazy over Bush's war and I don't think this ad is all that compelling. But NBC should show air the ad. It's in support the troops. It's okay to say thanks, even if it does come from a group that apparently gives total support to the politics surrounding the war. I wish we'd kept our weapons out of Iraq. But that doesn't mean I'm right. Maybe something good will come out of it for the Iraqi people. I can't say I'm very hopeful, but maybe.
I have soldiers working with me now that just got back from Iraq in OCT 07 and nothing had changed other than they are glad to be out, and have no intention on re-enlisting, or returning to Iraq
markkorea33m I have 3 members of my church who are serving in Iraq and have met and talked with one who was on a Christmas break last year and returned in Feb of '06 (I work at a newspaper). The one I talked with wanted to return and saw the need of America to be in Iraq.
"1?" thats it? ok i am in the army and work with hundreds of soldiers also through a volunteer counseling program about the war, and none, has ever told be in confidence they support it, they just did their duty
markkorea33m I have only talked to one, but I have seen reports and videos of soldiers who beleive in what they are doing, not just acting because it's their "duty". My best friend served in the military for 17 years. He backs what our country is doing against terrorism. In fact, he feels our country is not doing enough.
I ll give the number to your local Army recruiter so you can join up 3600 N 23rd St, Mcallen - (956) 994-0730 or 2901 N 10th St # U, Mcallen - (956) 682-6141 join up, back up what you say with action not words see if you believe the politcal spin when your in boots
I've already SERVED during the 1st Gulf war - where were you? Hey markkorea33m - instead of proving to everyone what an uninformed loser you are, why don't you go to anysoldier(dot)com and read what the soldiers are really saying about what's going on and while you're at it - send them a care package and THANK them
ok mr drive by 54 hr war, anysoldier. is a donation for soldiers of course they are going to say nice things, OIF 15,000 suicides, i dont need to go to a web site i talk to soldiers i work with every day! where are you now "mr drive by?" i was in highschool when you were "driving by"
wtf are you talking about? You don't give a shit about the troops. You have no clue and it's really hilarious to watch you make a complete ass of yourself trying to pretend like you do. I served in the military you didn't - you're rooting for the terrorists and hope America loses the war. Now go back to your xbox and stfu.
So, when they left Afghanistan, they went to Somalia and prepared themselves carefully for a long war. They had thought that the Americans were like the Russians, so they trained and prepared. They were stunned when they discovered how low was the morale of the American soldier.
markkorea33m: When one is trying to make a political figure look like a conservative hawk, it is in one's best interest to hide from the public any moments when said figure acts like a dove. Such appears to be the case with the ongoing character reconstruction of Rep. John Murtha (D—Pennsylvania) since his call to withdraw American troops from Iraq.
a good tool to see what is really going on in Iraq, look at enlistments, reenlistments, AIP contracts, you'll see if it is just politcal jargon being rammed down your throat or the truth
As a Korean veteran I am ashamed to admit that I retired from GE after 33years. They make millions on defense contracts and our troops deserve better.
morimoko Hussein killed over 12,000 people in a 4 day period using chemical weapons. Bush made the mistake of giving Hussein a warning before we went into Iraq. Before our attack, trucks were seen crossing the Iraqi borders going into Syria. We don't know what happened to the chemical weapons (which ARE WMDs), but we KNOW he had them AND used them.
that's not liberal propaganda you dumb ass....and besides, all Americans should be watching out for the troops regardless of your view on the war in Iraq....quit being so ignorant
"If a doctor makes the wrong diagnosis and reassesses, do you keep giving the wrong medicine and the patient dies? We made the wrong diagnosis, and we have to get out of doing the wrong thing." - Ron Paul
morimoko Are you liberals brain dead? In '98, bin Laden called Americans "paper tigers" because we pulled out of Somalia after some of our soldiers were killed. That emboldened AQ and bin Laden. It showed them that we are not as strong as we "pretend" to be. Pulling out of Iraq will just prove bin Laden was right and will further embolden the enemy.
The question of whether there is improvement is irrelevant. The question is: improvement to what end? The establishment of permanent military bases and empirical control? Certainly you aren't suggesting that the improvement will in any way hamper Islamic militants or improve America's image abroad.
cdoc77 You don't get it. Iraqis are helping us in the fight. They are sick and tired of the radical killing the innocent, sending in suicide bombers into public meeting areas, and even blowing up mosques. The countries that don't approve of America's actions are who? Venezuella? Like we need his approval? We are fighting for the safety of our country and to stabalize the middle east.
No thanks, Dr. Kevorkian, you won't get the chance. Five years from now you'll have two choices if the subject of Iraq manages to come up: lie or keep your trap shut.
Actually, if I was the doctor I wouldn't have made the patient even sicker in the first place. I would have taken the advise of other experienced medical doctors rather than administering treatment others dissaprove. I also wouldn't have exaggerated my patient sickness to seem he'll be dieing the next day...
stfugine Things are improving in Iraq. In fact, as quoted from several taxi cab drivers in Bagdad,"There was a time when nobody could drive into some dangerous neighbourhoods such as Dora, Saidiyah or Amel and even Ghazaliyah. But now I can go anywhere." You are getting you information from someone who just wants to blame America.
where do you get your info? another conservative think tank, keep blogging the soldiers coming back knows it has not changed ask any soldier with more than one rotation and they will tell you
CC You sure do claim it is getting so much better in Iraq, when were you there last? I was there in 06 and nothing had changed my peers are coming back now stating the same, where do you get your info
markkorea33m From a Nov3, 2007 report (from AFP). Look up "Baghdad streets now safer, say taxi drivers". Also check out "American Thinker: The surge succeeds".
the only reason streets are now safe because congress blocked funding, so they switch gears from its unsafe need money to is safe need money... wake up... your getting your source from some writer, im getting from the soldiers who are coming back from there
markkorea33m The {Democratic) Congress TRIED to block funing for the troops to bring them home, and failed. The Surge is a success and the Democrats will not admit it. Admitting any success in Iraq will hurt their chances of regaining power. That is why they are for the failure of America.
the war funds are blocked, that is why contractors are going home as we speak, it wasnt just DEMS you are caught in a political paradigm. I am a registered republican but not stupid i did vote for Bush too twice, and his father twice
you quote a french source that is supposed to be reputable, where are the french in Iraq? did they send troops? and American Thinker "RIGHT WING ONLY" news like James Lewis, marc sheppard, michael Oshea balanced?
markkorea33m Harry Reid had already stated we lost the war. He made an idiot of himself and 41 other Democrats in Congress going after Rush Limbaugh who brought out the truth about the Democrat "war hero", Jess Macbeth. He claimed he witnessed the acts of war crimes and even took part in the them, under orders. He was a fraud, thus "Phony Soldier".
so u like oxy cotton man? used to ditto until he evaded the LAW! One phony soldier as to how many others, just because one wanna be soldier was used, what about the court martials for war crimes prosecuted are those soldiers not war criminals?
markkorea33m There have been several "Phony Soldiers" who have been charged with fraud. The soldiers found guilty of war crimes should be punished, but to label our military as a "bunch of war criminal" is an act of treason. Those goof balls who are an embarrassment to our military should be court martialed.
no treason is not the same as dissent use your dictionary, treason being called for dissent is called FASCISM, why dont you serve your still young enough if you believe in it so much we have graphic artists your 41
well i'll give you a challenge to be a real soldier, your only 41 still young enough to SIGN UP with the Army. here is an address and phone # 2901 N 10th St # U, Mcallen - (956) 682-6141 or 3600 N 23rd St, Mcallen - (956) 994-0730 lets go stand up, sign up GO ARMY
besides no one said the WHOLE military is war criminals, im in the military and would never say that, you just reinforce your arguement with what you think you read, read more closely, "war crimes CREATE terrorists! faster than AlQaeda can recruit them."
markkorea33m: While conceding that Clinton ''inherited a very difficult situation in Somalia,'' Murtha said he did not 'see any achievable goal or national security interest in this operation.Congressman Murtha urged former President Clinton to remove U.S. troops from Somalia in 1993: Clinton took the advice and ordered the withdrawal — a decision that Osama bin Laden would later credit with emboldening his terrorist fighters and encouraging him to mount further attacks against the U.S.
markkorea33m Our withdrawal from Somalia is indeed seen as having emboldened Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda, and the press don't want to in any way link Congressman Murtha to it.
However, when tens of your solders were killed in minor battles and one American Pilot was dragged in the streets of Mogadishu you left the area carrying disappointment, humiliation, defeat and your dead with you. Clinton appeared in front of the whole world threatening and promising revenge , but these threats were merely a preparation for withdrawal.
You have been disgraced by Allah and you withdrew; the extent of your impotence and weaknesses became very clear. It was a pleasure for the 'heart' of every Muslim and a remedy to the 'chests' of believing nations to see you defeated in the three Islamic cities of Beirut , Aden and Mogadishu."
markkorea33m: In a May, 1998 installment of PBS' Frontline, bin Laden stated the following: "After our victory in Afghanistan and the defeat of the oppressors who had killed millions of Muslims, the legend about the invincibility of the superpowers vanished. Our boys no longer viewed America as a superpower.
retrop75 Our soldiers are winning. Bringing them home will mean this whole war on terror is just a waste of time. Bringing them home means we are letting the terrorists win the war. Bringing them home means that the war will be fought here, not there. You are another loser liberal who doesn't give a shit about the safety of our country.
retrop75: This is a repeat of what I said to morimoko: Are you liberals brain dead? In '98, bin Laden called Americans "paper tigers" because we pulled out of Somalia after some of our soldiers were killed. That emboldened AQ and bin Laden. It showed them that we are not as strong as we "pretend" to be. Pulling out of Iraq will just prove bin Laden was right and will further embolden the enemy.
I can't believe NBC said no to playing this ad on their network. There is absolutely nothing present that could be considered controversial. While I do not personally support the war as a whole, I do support each and every soldier and am grateful for their service. The deserve our utmost gratitude.
Nick Berg was investigated by the FBI for allowing Zacarias Moussaoui to use his e-mail account. He was also interviewed by Michael Moore for "Fahrenheit 9/11". So - please tell me who was pissed at Berg and wanted him to die.....
Sorry shithead - get your facts straight - Nick Berg went to Iraq ON HIS OWN ACCORD. He was captured and murdered by terrorists because he was an American. Nice try tho!
Fuck no! Get your facts right. He was killed because he was a member of the invading nation, the united states. His death acured as a result of the fucking invasion. He would not have died if we did not got to war! SHUTS THE FUCK UP! And another thing, his family think it was a conspiracy by the US government to kill him so what do you say to that?!
I say you're a sad deluded individual who would rather root for the terrorists than for the American soldiers risking their lives so you can post such stupidity on youtube... just hope you don't ever find yourself at the business end of a terorist's machete - saying "But I was against the war!" won't help you
Where the hell am I deluded? Where am I saying I support terrorism? And please explain how the todays soldiers are fighting for my rights? If their were more people like me there would be less terrorism to begin with.
Hey Fuk-Stik!!!!Without these troops doing what their doing you'd have a AK pointed at your head forced to bow to Mecca you dumb-Ass. If their were "more people like you" there wouldn't be a world left to live in douche bag. Now go back to playing your Nintendo and the next time you see an Airman, Marine, Soldier or Sailor, thank them for saving your ass so you can run your mouth some more asshole.
OOO really? You actually think that the damn terrorist are as big as a threat to have enough power and march up here to the middle of fucking North America in South Dakota and make me bow and say praise ala? Fuck off. My own cousin fighting in Iraq and others like him don't accept thanks for things that they are doing for someone else country. They are not fighting for my rights. If we pulled out of the middle east entirely there would not be terrorism against the United State.
No I think its just fine right here in America. But thanks, ass.;) I'm a prick because I am not thankful for troops fighting in my name in an unjustified war, ok you have great logic. What the hell do I have to run from by the way? Because it's not the damn terrorist.
Keszler There have been 30 major mass casualty attacks directed against the United States, Britain, France, Spain, Pakistan, Kenya, Tanzania, India, Iraq, Morocco, Yemen, Tunisia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and North Osetia. 14 of the 30 attacks were conducted prior to the invasion of Iraq, making claims of the occupation of Iraq as a justification for al Qaeda's terrorism to be disingenuous at best.
Keszler 4,895 people have been killed in these attacks, and 12,345 plus have been wounded. The majority of the countries attacked are Muslim countries. And although not stated, the vast majority of the victims of al Qaeda's violence are Muslims.
Keszler Each of al Qaeda's targets were purposefully selected and carefully timed to inflict mass casualties as well as to provide the maximum media exposure. The radical Islamists embrace Muslim casualties, as many are considered infidel for embracing Western culture and rejecting the "pure" Islam espoused by al Qaeda. This is an enemy that deserves no quarter. To blame America's actions for the attacks on 9-11 is a grande display of ignorance.
Keszler: The ideologues, leaders and foot soldiers of al Qaeda have no reservations about slaughtering the innocent. The majority of their attacks have been directed against civilian infrastructure such as embassies, consulates, shipping, transportation, hotels, resorts, nightclubs, bars, synagogues, churches, temples, mosques, markets, housing complexes, office buildings and schools.
Why is only your cousin signed up, why not you? the Army is hiring we have plenty of opeinings and i can put you in direct contact with an Army recruiter in your area
markkorea33m I did try to enlist 3 times. Because of an accident that put me in a coma for 2 weeks and some disabilities, I was not allowed to serve. Nothing you said answers the statements bin Laden gave about America being a paper tiger, our withdrawal from Somalia emboldening the enemy, and if we withdraw from Iraq would give the same result.
Bin Laden was our guy, dont you get it, we created our enemy, they guys that said we would be greated with flowers are the same that say Iraq will colapse if we pull out, why should anyone believe them now?
Oh and by the way... you dont get any credit for trying, war are not ran from arm chair quarterbacks, an unfortunate accident forfited your right to DICTATE others when and when not to fight, your vote is like everyones, and your situational awareness left to TV, news, and definately no hands on
markkorea33m You're still dodging the statements made by bin Laden. The weak responses from our past president and his non-responsive actions to American being attacked, even after bin Laden declared war (fatwa) on America emboldened AQ to act on 9-11.
Where is the latest Bin Laden tape? Im sure that will tell me how he feels, if he is such a treat where are his tapes? the last one was a FAKE TAPE rehashed from older tapes why not quote that tape FOX did
markkorea33m I saw parts of "Power of nighmares". Seeing it's from the BBC and how they group the Republican (calling them "neocons") along with the terrorists should give you a hint that it is a one-sided point of view. Did they mention that Bill Clinton was one of MANY Democrats who said Hussein had WMDs/Nuclear Weapons? I bet they didn't.
the selected the specific group of neocons from republicans, and you can not judge by watching parts did you see that the commander on the ground (CIA) stated about AlQaede this is a guy who fought them
obivously you did not watch it as it polarizes the necons and islamic extremists nice lie you tried to compel, shows you only watch one source info, probably far right info.. like heritage foundation crap
markkorea33m As I said, it was produced by the BBC. No need to watch it. I know how one sided the opinion is. Did it mention anything about Clinton or any other Democrat saying Hussein having WMDs? Comparing Republicans to terrorists while we are at war with terrorists shows the tunnel vision of the liberals and BBC.
why don't you explain why mine and thousands.... thousands of ABSENTEE VOTES of service members was not even counted in the last election? like i keep stating we dont need your thanks, your thanks is a papertiger
markkorea33m Ask the "patriotic" Democrats who DIDN'T WANT TO INCLUDE VOTES FROM OUR MILITARY, but wanted to include criminals still in prison and even dead people seemed to be voting for Democrats!
Thank them for what?
For going over and invading innocent peaceful countries and murdering the innocent civilians?
Victory to the Iraqi freedom fighters and to the Taliban for defending their homelands against the evil American empire and her troops.
I'll thank the defenders and I won't thank the invaders.

While I disdain the war in Iraq, I do agree that the soldiers need material support. Yes, their efforts may be for a dubious cause, but think about it. Many of these soldiers have no access to everyday goods such as shampoo and clean clothes. Same goes for many of their families, most of whom come from working-class or poor backgrounds. Don't be against the soldiers, be against the war.

The REASON the troops are AWAY from their families is because the UNITED STATES deliberately CHOSE to launch an aggressive and unprovoked war against Iraq. The 160,000 U.S. troops in Iraq's 25 million population is equivalent to 1.92 million Iraqi soldiers in the U.S (X12). If 1.92 million Iraqi soldiers were occupying the USA what would you do as an American? Join the American insurgency against the hated invader or be a collaborator? Americans just don't get it. You are not the good guys here.

where do you get your info? another conservative think tank, keep blogging the soldiers coming back knows it has not changed ask any soldier with more than one rotation and they will tell you

CC You sure do claim it is getting so much better in Iraq, when were you there last? I was there in 06 and nothing had changed my peers are coming back now stating the same, where do you get your info
markkorea33m 4 years ago
markkorea33m From a Nov3, 2007 report (from AFP). Look up "Baghdad streets now safer, say taxi drivers". Also check out "American Thinker: The surge succeeds".

ccgraphics20 You said that in 2006 everything was the same. The reports I am getting my infor from are all in 2007, after the surge.

the only reason streets are now safe because congress blocked funding, so they switch gears from its unsafe need money to is safe need money... wake up... your getting your source from some writer, im getting from the soldiers who are coming back from there
markkorea33m 4 years ago
markkorea33m The {Democratic) Congress TRIED to block funing for the troops to bring them home, and failed. The Surge is a success and the Democrats will not admit it. Admitting any success in Iraq will hurt their chances of regaining power. That is why they are for the failure of America.

the war funds are blocked, that is why contractors are going home as we speak, it wasnt just DEMS you are caught in a political paradigm. I am a registered republican but not stupid i did vote for Bush too twice, and his father twice

markkorea33m Harry Reid had already stated we lost the war. He made an idiot of himself and 41 other Democrats in Congress going after Rush Limbaugh who brought out the truth about the Democrat "war hero", Jess Macbeth. He claimed he witnessed the acts of war crimes and even took part in the them, under orders. He was a fraud, thus "Phony Soldier".

so u like oxy cotton man? used to ditto until he evaded the LAW! One phony soldier as to how many others, just because one wanna be soldier was used, what about the court martials for war crimes prosecuted are those soldiers not war criminals?
markkorea33m 4 years ago
markkorea33m There have been several "Phony Soldiers" who have been charged with fraud. The soldiers found guilty of war crimes should be punished, but to label our military as a "bunch of war criminal" is an act of treason. Those goof balls who are an embarrassment to our military should be court martialed.

besides no one said the WHOLE military is war criminals, im in the military and would never say that, you just reinforce your arguement with what you think you read, read more closely, "war crimes CREATE terrorists! faster than AlQaeda can recruit them."

markkorea33m: While conceding that Clinton ''inherited a very difficult situation in Somalia,'' Murtha said he did not 'see any achievable goal or national security interest in this operation.Congressman Murtha urged former President Clinton to remove U.S. troops from Somalia in 1993: Clinton took the advice and ordered the withdrawal — a decision that Osama bin Laden would later credit with emboldening his terrorist fighters and encouraging him to mount further attacks against the U.S.

markkorea33m Our withdrawal from Somalia is indeed seen as having emboldened Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda, and the press don't want to in any way link Congressman Murtha to it.

markkorea33m: bin Laden's fatwa cont.
However, when tens of your solders were killed in minor battles and one American Pilot was dragged in the streets of Mogadishu you left the area carrying disappointment, humiliation, defeat and your dead with you. Clinton appeared in front of the whole world threatening and promising revenge , but these threats were merely a preparation for withdrawal.

markkorea33m: bin Ladens's Fatwa cont.
You have been disgraced by Allah and you withdrew; the extent of your impotence and weaknesses became very clear. It was a pleasure for the 'heart' of every Muslim and a remedy to the 'chests' of believing nations to see you defeated in the three Islamic cities of Beirut , Aden and Mogadishu."
ccgraphics20 4 years ago
markkorea33m: In a May, 1998 installment of PBS' Frontline, bin Laden stated the following: "After our victory in Afghanistan and the defeat of the oppressors who had killed millions of Muslims, the legend about the invincibility of the superpowers vanished. Our boys no longer viewed America as a superpower.

retrop75 Our soldiers are winning. Bringing them home will mean this whole war on terror is just a waste of time. Bringing them home means we are letting the terrorists win the war. Bringing them home means that the war will be fought here, not there. You are another loser liberal who doesn't give a shit about the safety of our country.
ccgraphics20 4 years ago
retrop75: This is a repeat of what I said to morimoko: Are you liberals brain dead? In '98, bin Laden called Americans "paper tigers" because we pulled out of Somalia after some of our soldiers were killed. That emboldened AQ and bin Laden. It showed them that we are not as strong as we "pretend" to be. Pulling out of Iraq will just prove bin Laden was right and will further embolden the enemy.

I can't believe NBC said no to playing this ad on their network. There is absolutely nothing present that could be considered controversial. While I do not personally support the war as a whole, I do support each and every soldier and am grateful for their service. The deserve our utmost gratitude.

Keszler There have been 30 major mass casualty attacks directed against the United States, Britain, France, Spain, Pakistan, Kenya, Tanzania, India, Iraq, Morocco, Yemen, Tunisia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and North Osetia. 14 of the 30 attacks were conducted prior to the invasion of Iraq, making claims of the occupation of Iraq as a justification for al Qaeda's terrorism to be disingenuous at best.
ccgraphics20 4 years ago
Keszler 4,895 people have been killed in these attacks, and 12,345 plus have been wounded. The majority of the countries attacked are Muslim countries. And although not stated, the vast majority of the victims of al Qaeda's violence are Muslims.
ccgraphics20 4 years ago
Keszler Each of al Qaeda's targets were purposefully selected and carefully timed to inflict mass casualties as well as to provide the maximum media exposure. The radical Islamists embrace Muslim casualties, as many are considered infidel for embracing Western culture and rejecting the "pure" Islam espoused by al Qaeda. This is an enemy that deserves no quarter. To blame America's actions for the attacks on 9-11 is a grande display of ignorance.
ccgraphics20 4 years ago
Keszler: The ideologues, leaders and foot soldiers of al Qaeda have no reservations about slaughtering the innocent. The majority of their attacks have been directed against civilian infrastructure such as embassies, consulates, shipping, transportation, hotels, resorts, nightclubs, bars, synagogues, churches, temples, mosques, markets, housing complexes, office buildings and schools.

markkorea33m 4 years ago
markkorea33m You're still dodging the statements made by bin Laden. The weak responses from our past president and his non-responsive actions to American being attacked, even after bin Laden declared war (fatwa) on America emboldened AQ to act on 9-11.

Seeing it's from the BBC and how they group the Republican (calling them "neocons") along with the terrorists should give you a hint that it is a one-sided point of view.
