Wake up. The latest poll shows 82% of Americans want a deadline for the U.S. to pull out of Iraq. The Bush policy in Iraq is a FAILURE! Every place Bush goes in the U.S. and abroad he has the people demonstrating against his policies. We have not had a president that was so unpopular since Nixon (another Republican). </T
After terrorists attacked U.S. troops in Mogadishu, Somalia 12 years ago, anti-Iraq war Democrat, Rep. John Murtha urged then-President Clinton to begin a complete pullout of U.S. troops from the region. Clinton took the advice and ordered the withdrawal - a decision that Osama bin Laden would later credit with emboldening
I bet there is not one of you Bushies on Joeuser that can come close to Rep. Murtha's service. Below is the letter I sent him today. Rep. John P. Murtha 2423 Rayburn House Office Bldg. Washington, D.C. 20515-3812 Dear Congressman Murtha: Congratulations on being willing to stand up and offer an alterna
Col Gene, can you explain to me this. Let's say you have a problem with your mother-in-law. Your wife wants you to fix this problem so that more problems don't form. You know for a fact you mother-in-law is hardheaded and will never listen to anything you say and you are almost 100% sure that this will be a waste of time. What do you do? Here's the real answer in case you didn't know, you go to you mother-in-law and , even thought it's a lost
The volunteer armed services are more inclined to favor war since so many enlistments are of the uneducated and minorities who with little prodding revel in waving the flag and more apt to stay the course. This makes no sense, are you saying that the Volunteer Armed Forces are mostly undeucated and mino
however, it is their right and should be countered with “to support the troops is to save their lives by bringing them home and that the 2,000 plus did not die in vain, but died nobly during the commitment of defending their country, regardless of the politics.” Moreover, “bringing home the troops” is not cut and run but rather a
If an earthquake DOES level the city of San Francisco, if a terrorist DOES attack the Coit tower, the United States government should not respond. San Francisco hung out a "no trespassing" sign for the federal government on November 8, and I don't consider it to be cruel or inhuman for us to honor that sign.
I have no quibble with Murtha's military background & credentials & he rightly deserves our respect. But having them doesn't make him infallible or confer on him any special status. He was a soldier. He is a politician. His position is wrong, apparently based on nothing more than emotion. I do have a quibble with th
For sure - the only way freedom can work is by everyone following their own self-interest to the exclusion of all others. Well then maybe every country should have their own vehicles, grow their own fruits and veggies, raise their own animals, find their own gasoline, you get the point, and completely i
Yes, and it's an especially low blow to try to paint Murtha as someone who "detests" the troops. This is man with impeccable military credentials; A man with such high credentials who has been in the same shoes as those in Iraq ATM should be the first one to acknowledge that a "Strategical Withdrawal",
Is it not reasonable to believe that to support the troops the sooner we pull out the fewer will die? Supporting troops mean that you are behind them when they believe they are doing the right thing. You sound to me like the kind of person who convinces a friend to throw a party at his house only to le
Wow, that was a great article. Much better detailed than mine. Can't imagen why no one would care to reply to it. I figured it was a good enough of a question to wonder if people would like having a guy like Batman or even a Punisher type of person to help out with the increasing criminal activities all over the US and perhaps other parts of the world. I was actually surprise to see one reply on my article since I watched it for the hours only to see it zero itself out while others afte
However, the debt this nation is building, the lack of progress in education, the lack of an energy policy and many other things are far worse then 5 years ago and the Bush policies have no solutions. You and your children will be paying for Bush all your lives. I hope you live someware where you will not need to heat your home t
I worked real hard on this article and spent a lot of time researching my FACTS. I also put spellcheck and grammar check to good use this time so no one will trash my spelling and grammar while completely ignoring the truth of my article. I think your article was great, but since you mentioned this las
I went to the video store yesterday in search of something interesting to watch (obviously). As I browsed the New Movies section I came across the new Batman Begins movie. Such a trend now to do the before story of movies that have been out for quite some time already. After seeing the movie on the shelf suddenly a questioned popped in my head. Would people in the real world, let’s say New York, except a real life Batman type of person to help fight cr
I only wish I had the knowledge that some JU members have when it comes to politics. I only began to have interest in politics after 9/11. I never really cared much for it, I figured no matter who I voted for or who I believed in my vote and voice would be lost is the entanglements of the Gov’t. Only after understanding how things work did I realize how much more powerful my vote and voice were. I soon chose to be Republican because I understood that t
2 military persons with opposite ideas of how the military works,... but who's telling the truth? Find out on tomorrow's episode of "To Tell You The Truth". Same JU time, same JU channel.
Are you all ganging up on me or San Francisco? This is an interesting reply coming from the writer of this article titled All Is Quiet on the JU Front . I guess not as quiet as you are.
COL, here's the problem I have with the tone of your article. You want to get all of the facts from before the war and re-analyze them based on intelligence gained directly due to the war itself. Then decide whether they are in fact credible assumptions. So you are, to a degree, wanting to rewrite history, by analyzing the
This is not true. WP was used against civillians and then the justification trotted out was the presence of terrorists. In any event the Terrorists have not signed the Geneva Convention while the USA has and therefore is bound by lasw to follow iNTERNATIONAL lAW. So first you use an article from Globals
Hey Col Gene, if thats who you really are, I recomend you read up on Little Whip's interesting article titled The Difference between Stupidity and Disability just some random blathering By little_whip Specially the definitions. It might give you a clue as to why so many people here get tired of repeating themselves to you and why you don't seem to get a clue that the ammo you chose to fight ba
SPC You got it wrong. I am not saying that 2/3 agree with me but that I agree with the 2/3. Interesting..., since this is a quote from #5 reply: Given all the po
Well I have a child in 2nd grade. I feel my biggest mistake was to move to Puerto Rico when he was in pre-k. The school would not put him in Kinder due to his age but as long as he was in school I was fine. How ever due to financial problems I moved to PR to see if I could get back on my feet. Don't get me wrong, he gets good grades, just that the education system here in PR is far behind the US. He is only starting to learn how to write in second grad
Interesting thread about a screenshot the creator knew was gonna get deleted and now feels he need to point it out. Kinda sounds like the person who knew if touching a live bare electrical wire he would get electrocuted but he does it anyways and now is complaining. I believe you uploaded the SS on purpose so it could be deleted and then you came here and posted this article just to see peoples reactions to it and since you are getting burned
I am running the latest version of firefox and as far as a faster computer goes,what a joke. My pc is P4 2.4 gig with plenty of ram etc etc. If that isn't enoughfor that site, the site is rediculous. man, you really are a testy person. Even talking about you PC offends you.
