I was damn lucky to go to war in a war we all believed in with all our
hearts.
This is a war nobody believes in any more. And the liar has been exposed for
what he is. He sends men to fight and die which is something he was never
willing to do.

There are some veterans, educated, and knowledgeable folks who clearly
understand the necessity for this war and the goals that need to be
achieved to develop a sustainable peace in the Middle East and
security in the homeland.

Here's another case of your not being able to express yourself with precision,
Ed.

No one is denying that we need to fight a war on terror. Many much more
credible persons than yourself have said attacking Iraq was a mistake. And it
was. We are no safer for it.

You can't generalize your opinion and apply
it wholesale to the world.

What lies? Sarin found last week.

That's pitiful. One round.

Al-Qaeda involved in the beheading
of Nick Berg.

Alleged, as someone else said.

Turn-over to the Iraqi provisional goverment by the end
of this month....

As for the willingness to die for the nation, I've got to support a
guy who chose to spend four and a half years becoming an AF pilot and
qualifying operationally in a single-seat, single-engine jet.

One who was AWOL for eight months.

GWB didn't even go to OCS. He skipped it. And one who mysteriously didn't
take a flight physical and lost his flying status after the tax payers had
shelled out a lot of money to get him where he -could- fly.

You may
recall, Art, that tactical aircraft can kill you quite easily on any
given day. Lemme see, four years in jets or four months in
rowboats.....

That's pathetic. John Kerry was wounded three times. He volunteered to go to
war. GWB avoided going to war. Even Al Gore got as far as Saigon.
