Troop withdrawl

if we take out our troops from iraq we're leaving american open for another attack. al qaeda is an opportunistic operation. by taking out our troops we're giving them an opportunity to prepare for another attack aim at us. my brother is a soldier in iraq and he says if obama gets elected he might as well just stay in iraq.

MCCAIN!

GO MCCAIN!

Barack Obama

just know that hes going to win period

We're still at war...

What the liberal illuminati impose that I don't care for is not funding the troops. They're over there, and it's our responsibility to help them win the war and come home safely. Cutting their funding would be a horrible thing to do.

WHEN THIS WAR IS GOING TO END, AND HOW??????

TROOP WITHDRAWL

Tomorrow, 23 Oct, is the 25th anniversary of the Beirut bombing that "mudered" over 241 of our sons: Marines, Sailors and Soldiers. This happened because Congress ignored the Commandant of the Marine Corps, General P.X. Kelley, when he "asked" them to not give a timetable for troop operations and withdrawl in war-torn Lebanon.

The Commandant wrote his story in an article warning us not to repeat the same mistake in Iraq. This is a time-tested military rule written in blood, and it UPSETS ME that Senator Obama does not understand this and continues to openly chant a timetable for troop withdrawl.

I hope that IF Senator Obama wins this election, he will have the sense to listen to our EXPERIENCED military leaders and does not doom our troop to repeat the same deadly mistake. He certainly does NOT have my vote. A rookie as a Commander-in-Chief, in charge of the worlds greatest armed forces, fighting a war in two places, plus forces in Africa, is not what we need.

I am a Marine Veteran (Afghanistan) and my husband has completed two rours in Iraq and could go again. I would very much like to have him back in a safe manner along with the rest of our awesome men an women.

The general's article was in the Washington Post, dated 22 Nov 2005.

I will be at the Beirut Memorial tomorrow morning. I have not forgotten.

Rebutal regard the war in Afghanistan

The American people have not been told the truth about the war in the first place. The New York Twin Tower bomb and there were many lives lost. The person responsible Bin Laden could not be found. The new reporter stated he was in Afghanistan but could not be found. The only was the republican could justify spending the plus money left from President Clinton. McCann will not tell the truth under oath in office. Every one in the worl is losing some kind of money weather it is big or small. Man must ask God first if there will be any settlement in this world. Every human think there is a solution but if you do not put God, Jesus Christ first, you will not find the answer. Even if you found Bin Landen killing him would not solve anything. You can not bring back the family that died in Twin Towers in New York. There is a spirit stronger than any man and his name is Jesus Christ our Lord.
