    Do you read the news at all? Congress has passed bills to do just that, but Bush is going to veto.

    Reed? wht is tat? We al ned yu to splain to usems....

    Wat is Reed??:
    "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."

    You can't blame the past on the latest war funding bill waiting to be passed.

    Do you guys get all your news from your fellow righties on this site, or do you watch cspan and find out what is actually going on? It seems you just want to pretend it's all going swimmingly and close your eyes to the facts.
    The troops are not short on equipment. They have had whatever they needed for the last five years. cspan is not the know all end all of reporting. You might want to check out some milblog sites, you know, military guys that are there and write about what they do everyday. There are a number of good reporters that keep daily blogs as well.

    The libs are holding up the funds. They have passed a bill that Bush will veto and will have to go back an do another bill or pass some emergency spending measure for the troops. If they don't do that who is hurting the troops? The libs wanted the power, now they have the responsibility that goes with it.

    And I reffer to libs because there are not that many dems left in the party.
    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    Overextending troops to accomplish the mission is SOP.

    Get a new line. That "without proper equipment" one has been shot full of holes so many times it looks like a sieve.

    Perhaps you pay attention to the wrong things. Stop attempting to perpetuate baselss, loony-left myths.

    Congress has passed a bill with the Dem's plan for losing attached to it. I wouldn't sign it either. Perhaps you didn't understand English when gaffer said it the first time?

    The troops in the field will get funded. Y'all are just screwing the ones in support.

    Damned if THAT doesn't say it all. It's too bad too. The Dems used to stand for something, and actually have balls before the loony-left led by Jimmy-boy took over and ran us all out.

    I think it is a great idea for the Bushies. The longer the troops remain in Iraq, the greater chance they have of getting killed. No muss, no fuss, no long term care to worry about, no extended benefits to be paid out.
    The Bush War gets deeper and deeper into the muck. Pretty soon, they will be kidnapping people off the street and sending them into combat.

    I hope the Bushies know that they are sabotaging military recruiting with their continuing lies and misstatements. Who is going to join up when they know they could be stuck in combat indefinitely?
    Not that the Bush apologists care. They are just enjoying the continuing carnage.

    Wrong. The families of those troops are still entitled to military benefits until the woman remarries and/or the children reach the ageof majority.

    I DO wish they'd kidnap you and send you. I'm just not sure the militay has enough duct tape to shut that gap under your nose that runs insessently and incoherently, proving by the post you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about most of the time.

    Gunny, your extreme silliness is always welcome. Not that you really care who lives and dies in Bush's War. Just as long as it continues indefinitely.

    For the record - the Units around here which are about to deploy have the HIGHEST morale levels.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Yeah, right. Never crossed your mind I might actually know and have served with some of those "troops," has it?

    I have no desire for an indefinite occupation -- not to be confused with a war. We need to turn it back into a war, clean house, and leave.

    Of course they do. Low morale is just another left-wingnut lie they have perpetuated into a myth.
