2. It's the same theory as budget deficits, apparently.
They go up in the short run, but we are on a plan to cut them in half from the high water mark that, frankly, has yet to be found.

7. This scares me. I'm really getting worried that they're starting to step
up the move toward attacking Iran.

10. Must be pretty f**kin bad if they have to send MORE troops
at a time when we are supposed to be drawing down the troop levels and must be pretty f**kin bad if the media has to report on it.

My son says that German troops are coming in and he is in the North of Iraq. I was talking to him on a cell phone and heard the machine guns in the backround. He was on base. There was a helicopter noise in the backround to. Jeff said they were going off to shoot people trying to get onto the base. This is pretty far north to. Where it is supposed to be so quiet and great!

18. We can barely hold their own against a defenseless 3rd world
country. Iran would be suicide.

Thankfully my nephew is back home with his wife and daughter and has left the army. His wife wanted him to go back to earn some big salary, but when we finished with her, that was that.

Edit- add.

14. Three effin' years TOO LATE
No, they don't hear the people. They don't give a damn what the people say unless it happens to fit with their plans. Otherwise, IGNORE is on. But we should still tell them because our soldiers have been silenced and count on our support.

BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW!!

20. It's Vietnam all over again. They are in total denial. The
real problem is that they chose to fight an unnecessary war. There was never any support for it except in the overeactive boisterous minds of foolish U.S. republicans. The rest of the world always knew it was a ruse for oil.
