Tom, are you better off now than you were five or six years ago? The
answer HAS to be yes. Inflation is down, unemployment is practically
non-existant, interest rates are low. The economy is booming and the
market is hitting all time highs. AND there has been no terrorist
attack on the U.S.

Are we at war or is this just a criminal problem, you know, like
someone blowing up your car? We *are* at war, and we have been for a
number of years, even before Bush was elected. Clinton did nothing
against the terrorists, but Bush has. We have killed thousands of
Taliban and al Qaeda terrorists, and captured hundreds more. Yes, it
has cost us dearly in lives lost in the military, including my great
nephew. (At the funeral in Arlington his wife said that his 2nd tour
was supposed to be up in just a few more weeks, but he was ready to go
back when needed.) And, it will cost more lives before this war is
over. That's the nature of war dontchaknow.

I don't give a **** WHAT the reason was for going to war, but we ARE
at war and we should be at war to beat these *******s. Iraq is just a
battle right now. We will lose this war with a fractured nation - Red
against Blue as Tatosian likes to say. We're all in the same boat and
the sob is leaking badly with people like the leadership of the Dems
complaining but not coming up with any solutions. It's "Bush is
wrong. Bush lied. We need to set a date to get out of Iraq," etc.
etc. etc. But NO ideas. No ideas on how to deal with these killers
who want us all dead or converted to Islam. You and yours got a
prayer rug?

Man, you libs are gonna be ****ed when the US becomes a theocracy.
It could happen.
