I've got to give you credit, that was hilarious....thanks :-)

Please don't leave....luv ya

One more thing, ok, some people are weak and give in to evil, but...not all of our troops are like that. Most of the people in our armed forces are incredibly brave, decent, and kind individuals that deserve our gratitude and respect. Right?

Exactly hotmama, I haven't seen these numbers anywhere: http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/10/11/iraq.deaths/<

I mean, those damn libs have never said as much as 655,000 dead towel-heads they always Bawwwww about 4,000 dead US GIs or something like 30,000 dead iraqis....The fact of the matter is they don't want to acknowledge that if we stay there another decade or so we might actually beat Hitler's high score.

Study Claims Iraq's 'Excess' Death Toll Has Reached 655,000

A team of American and Iraqi epidemiologists estimates that 655,000 more people have died in Iraq since coalition forces arrived in March 2003 than would have died if the invasion had not occurred.

The estimate, produced by interviewing residents during a random sampling of households throughout the country, is far higher than ones produced by other groups, including Iraq's government.

WOULD YOU RATHER THIS BE ONE OF US?
It is more than 20 times the estimate of 30,000 civilian deaths that President Bush gave in a speech in December. It is more than 10 times the estimate of roughly 50,000 civilian deaths made by the British-based Iraq Body Count research group.

Notice the date of this article: 10/11/06, that was almost a year ago. But Frank what the BLEEP are we supposed to do? They attacked us first! what should we have done? don't we have a right to protect ourselves? how do you propose we do that? using harsh language? THEY HATE US! why can't so many understand that? there is no compromising or reasoning with these people. Would you

I am sure they do and me disagreeing with Bushes strategy does not make me want to be one of those it just makes me want a different strategy.

Or because of what we have done. Having studied history I have seen how long people hold grudges. If a bunch of Muslim countries wanted to keep troops in our country I doubt we would be okay with that. If a muslim country took our president out of power because he did not agree with them using special ops and then implanting a terrible dictator maybe we would be mad. The terrorists might be bad but we commited the original sin.

As we sit in the comfort of our homes in complete safety able to express our views and opinions without a care in the world, munching on Doritos and sipping on Coke in a tall glass of ice, enjoying the perfect temperature inside our very nice homes, with my children lounging around listening to music on their I-pods and playing video games on their playstation in their very own room with their very own TV, am I suppose to be a complete and total hypocrite and say I have some kind of problem with: "Our foreign policy is us first- you second."?????????????????? Come talk to me when you've given up all your comforts, freedoms, and safety.

I agree that we have a problem with enjoying the fruits that our wrongs bear whhile crisizing our country. I am more unhappy that we are saying we are doing this stuff in support of freedom when we are not. Either take the moral high ground and don't do stuff just to get the resources to sustain our standard of living or do it and say you are doing it for that reason. deluding ourselves does not help. Our main comfort that we get from the middle east is oil. We build huge SUVs and Hummers to waste a substance we have to fight over. I do not ever plan on getting a huge car and my family never has. I prefer a minimalist approch rather then indulging or denying these comforts.

Just to clear up matters Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 and the people in that country didn't give two shits about us on the whole.

Saddam and other terrorists were actually quite pleased to see Saddam disposed, for those of you not in the know he kept the riff-raff out partially through his brutal methods.

That is the biggest load of bs I’ve heard, since Rosie uncovered the conspiracy that we blew up one of our own towers.
