overstreached Col. Gene, I am still working on the first issue you brought up so lets stick to that one before we change subjects then we can discuss Pres. Bushes items. Please show me anywhere that the Gen. said the troops were "overstretched" See the point I am trying to get across is that t
drmiler you were so full bull s*it comes out of your ears .The reason for extending combat tours is because we didn't have the manpower we needed in Iraq. The reason we called up and extended so many reserves is we didn't have the manpower required. Bush himself admitted we didn't have the manpower and then did nothing about it.
The issue is that we do not have the number of mlitary needed for the world wide deployments OK correct me if I am wrong but that is not what was said. If you read the Statement made by Gen. Myers he says, and I quote, "The message I’m sending to Congress is that the United States military can fulfill i
Talk about taking things out of context.. Here is the entire press release that Col. Gene found to twist to his ends... U.S. Military Ready to Handle Any Task, Myers Says WASHINGTON, May 3, 2005 – Th e U.S. military can accomplish all the tasks laid out for it in the National Military Strategy, according to the yearly risk assessment completed by the chairman of the Join

Hey Reiki-House being from Canada yourself, I was wondering... Never mind.. not worth commenting on.
Excellent comment and thank you for adding the photo to it. I appreciate the time it took to do that. What a lot of people also do not realize is that there are somewhere in the range of 40 -60 attacks against the Iraqi Army and Police and Coalition Troops a day. And that more than half cause no injury or damage at all and that the rest usally cause little damage. Its the rare attack that actually injures or kills someone. But guess which of the 60 som
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Credible reporting led Multi-National Forces to a suspected insurgent location in Al Qaim May 2, and consequently, Coalition forces witnessed suspicious activity in the vicinity. The forces then followed a truck, which departed from the possible terrorist site, to a remote and isolated camp site consisting of a tent and a shed east of Al Qaim.
Hey Col Gene I just did a poll here at my office of 25 people and Bush got a 92% rating! 23 out of 25. The other two would not comment. SO theres your poll. See Polls have many flaws, sampling base, bias wording of the questions, geographical limitations etc etc etc... Fact is hes in, he in for a few more years so live with it, deal with it and get over the psycological trama of losing the election. Buck up unhappy camper and better
Draginol, First you have a very nice family. Can I respectfully suggest that you should never post photos of your children on the internet. I investigate computer crimes, including child pornography cases and the suspects take faces from photos of children on the internet and paste them on the CP photos to create new ones. How devistaing it would be to have your childs face placed on one of those photos. Its OK to share phot

RH- Would you be willing to die for what you belive in? Are you big enough to stand up for what you think is right? Would you fight for your country if you thought they were right in what they were doing? Just a question. You were doing OK with this until you got to your comments on a draft and the US using NK as an excuse. Also relating Defoliant as a WMD. The birth defects were not the intended effects, killing foilage was. Chemical War

If Reiki House actually had a positive thought about Iraq and the successes going on there, it would cause an aneurysm!!Reiki would rather see 1000 dead Americans than 1 free Iraqi. Anything for the negative propaganda. Hey ParaTed2k, thanks for the encouragement. But RH really doesn't bother me. I just
RH - How about saying something about the contents and substance of the article instead of just attacking the idea that maybe, contrary to your wishes, the US is actually accomplishing something. You see I can see through your anger to the true reason post. You just hate the US and what it stands for. You still have not answered my reply and request to you in my other article so I will ask it again here: Here is my response to your previous at
