TEXT: Protest petition by IDF reservists back from the war
Amen. And this goes for Iraq too, IMHO.

Not sure what you are saying.
Hi Mike,
If you love this war and think it's worth fighting why not enlist? I'm saying our soldiers need (and should be able) to express their feelings and experiences about the mis-management of our war to the "fat-***-brass" and "suits" sitting in their air-conditioned offices. Not sure what you are saying. How many of our "leaders" have skin in the game? (Their own kids) Have you heard of one funeral for a son or daughter of a congressman or someone in this "administration" killed in battle? I haven't. Maybe one. Hoping we can all agree our boys and girls should not just be silent cannon fodder forever. They are already speaking up, as are their families and some top brass too. Heard about the “back door draft?”. Some Marine families are seriously pissed, for good reason, IMHO. Peace. P.S. Have you figured out what a neo-con is yet? Steven declared he is NOT one how about you?

According to you, which is anyone who does not believe the world will get better if we just say peace, love, and Kum-bay-ah then I would say probably. Since according to the Wikipedia article if you read between the bulls#!t, what a neo-con really is is a derisive term for anyone more conservative than you who you don't agree with, I am sure I am. I agree with Condi. I would like to make the world a better place with discussion, but I am realistic enough to know that putting a "teach peace" or "there is no way to peace, peace is the way" bumper sticker on my segway is not going keep Iran from building nukes or calm down any one who wants to kill my country. And I know that running away now will hurt us more and more in the future. Mike |

Here we go...
Hi Mike,
Do a google search for "Back door draft" and see what you find. Here's one I picked at random... http://newstandardnews.net/content/index.cfm/items/959 I have no idea if this source is liberal or conservative. Here we go... "I did. 14 years ago." God bless you... but... and? Some of our guys are on their 3rd and 4th tour. They need your help. Hell, they extended the age to what 42? "Currently 4 active duty or reserve children of the members of the legislative branch" 4???? Give me a break. What about the EXECUTIVE branch? You know, the guys who got us into this mess. "According to that Wikipedia article I am not but I also am." P l e a s e do you own research. There is much written about the neo-cons by the neo-cons themselves. Read please. "According to you, which is anyone who does not believe the world will get better if we just say peace, love, and Kum-bay-ah then I would say probably." Please show me when I wrote that. That's just silly. Have you read Steven's post "War, what is it good for?" Why don't you get hostile with him? "And I know that running away now will hurt us more and more in the future." You and I don't know anything about tomorrow. Not even if the sun will rise. Sorry man. "I am realistic enough to know that putting a "teach peace" or "there is no way to peace, peace is the way" bumper sticker on my segway is not going keep Iran from building nukes or calm down any one who wants to kill my country." Maybe not. But it's a good start, IMO. Maybe if we didn't have our military all over their part of the world, permanent bases in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, and IRAQ, they wouldn't want to "kill our country". Defending Israel is one thing, occupying countries and bombing civilians certainly is not going to make them stop wanting to "kill our country". But at least you're not calling me a racist this time. That was hysterical. Especially if you knew the make-up of my family. LMFAO! The racist neo-hippy? That's like a peace-loving neo-con. Doesn't happen. Although racism is certainly alive and well here still...

My bad...
Sorry Mike,
I'm sobering up now. You thought I called you a racist. I'll put down the crack pipe for the night. My bad, Josh

Whoa Josh. Don't twist my words. When force is needed we use force. Although I deplore the death that war causes it is sometimes necessary. Yes, I believe that the Hezbollah is the reason for the calamity in Lebanon and yes, there may have been instances of collateral damage when Israel attacked BUT I believe Israel was justified in attacking.
Clarification. We no longer have bases in Saudi, never had bases in Jordan, and do NOT have permanent bases in UAE (although we do have forward deployed forces here). The only countries in the Middle East in which we have a formal presence and formal bases are Qatar and Bahrain. Don't count Iraq as of now. TTFN, Steven |
