And I regret that we should even need to criticize our President. I'd LOVE to be proud of my country's leaders, and sing their praises for the good deeds they've done for the people. Alas, I can't find anything to sing about.

Many would like the opposition silenced.. like the vets who oppose the Iraq Occupation were on Sunday. For shame!

So much of what is going on in America has to do with the division over which we anguish while some seem to revel in it as though it is God's plan for all humanity. Separating the wheat from the chaff. What an insult is worked on us. And, the insulters complain that we're picking on them.

There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.

I think it's about time (past due perhaps) we started looking for more aggressive ideas to reduce suburban exposure. Ultimately the Iraqis don't like that we are so much a part of their everyday lives, yet they do like the fact that we have helped neutralized the enemiy that even they as law abiding citizens don't like... IE: crazy extremists who act a fool.

Most soldiers are confident that this will be alot like Korea or Germany for that matter. I think if we pulled back, reduced our numbers and simply established some air bases outside the cities we'd be fine.

If by chance an insurgent revolution/overthrow began (it would) and they decided to attack that base (stupid choice) they would be crushed but at least they'd have to become organized and it would easier to neutralize an enemy that wasn't hiding in buildings we were trying to search (That should slow down considerably if we decided to pull back a bit)

I don't support a full withdrawl but neither do any of the political parties. I think the problem si that you have crazies on the far Right who want to send more soldiers and start all over again (psycho!) and ignorant people on the far left who think a full withdrawl is the only plausible answer (yeah if you want another world crisis on your hands)

Having said that I think it's best if we start to realize the situation at hand as being a real issue and not defer from looking for real solutions.

Rants about Bush administration being War criminals is ridiculous... That makes 99% of the Congress war criminals too and they are predominantly Democrat.

Reguardless, I could care less about that... Iraq in my opinion was the right choice and we knew almost 10 yrs before we entered that it was bound to happen again. It did and we had no exit strategy just like Bush Sr. Just because Clinton ignored the problem for 8 yrs didn't make him an expert of foreign policy. It was during the years of Clinton that the Osama abd all the 'terrorists' were planning there attacks and even did in 1995 long before Bush jr ever came around to being president.

All I'm saying is ignoring a real problem isn't a solution and escalating the problem isn't either. We can help maintain stability in the Middle East while not sacrificing so many innocent civilians and soldiers lives. I believe Iraqis want to live in peace. The Iraqis didn't want a facist regime like Hussain and they also don't want an Empirical regime like the USA... They want to be Iraqi. We should help them become just that because we can and we have started (we're just screwing it up a little bit).

Nice to see ya! Hawknut right? =)

Actually the last time I stopped in I used this name... it's sort of become my catch all. I figure I was twice pardoned but today (past couple years anyway) it's ben more about moving forward than it has been about reflecting on the pardon I received (Though I will be for ever grateful) Anyway...

I'm doing well. Life no different really. The kids are bigger... never thought they would... hmmm Here's a photos of the girls.
These are from Summer :

The pics may only be a few months old but it feels like years compared to today! They're good kids.
I don't have any pics of Sarah and I on this PC, but I'll try and get some later at home.

So I'm still working, making my stand... Good job got a good pay raise which was undoubtedly a blessing. Life has a made a slow but steady turn towards stability. I guess it could have gone either way, so I feel blessed to have any opportunity to succeed.
I know tomorrow it could all change and I am sure I would be disappointed if that happened, today I thank God for the legs that take me to work, and the arms that help me type, the brain that allows me to critically think and the good health that allows me to save my money rather than spend it! Thanks be to God alone.

Regardless, I could care less about that...

It certainly appears that is your attitude to care less.
.
Your ideas are emblematic of the military community which--in actuality--should not have an opinion one way or the other about the political aspects of the Bush War of Occupation in Iraq. The duty of the military is to follow the instructions of the Commander In Chief without regard for any political stance.
.
But, it is interesting to see your ideas. And, in the final analysis, you have as much right to theam as anyone has to theirs--no matter what.

Glad to hear all's good with you and yours, Stephen. I tried to view your girls' pics, but I don't know where on the site to look. Looks like the main page at photobucket, and it says 'page not found'. Help me out. I'm techno-handicapped.
