You have no speaking rights until you commit to attend WestFest IV.

Michelle and Laura are dying to meet you.

this is just pathetic. I feel sorry for all the families who have lost loved ones, including 9/11.

Well 9/11 lasted a total of less then 3 hours...where as the war in Iraq/Afghanistan has been raging since 2003. Compare the total loss of the war in Iraq to another war of similar time, you will see there have been far less casualties to American forces. Compare the loss of life fighting Japan versus the loss of life at Pearl Harbor.

I think this is showing younger generations, who didn't get to see the "Gulf War" in the early nineties realize that war isn't a video game and life doesn't have a reset button. Maybe we'll learn from it.

I think that US Casualties in Afghanistan and Iraq are probably about 2% of the total casualties in those 2 wars.

I said I will most likely go on a side note I would like to personally thank Georgie for wasting our tax dollars and killing our military for this "personal" war of his (cause he daddy couldn't do it!) they should send his daugters off to fight and see how fast he rethinks his opinion

In case you don't remember, your president couldn't take us to war alone by any means. There were many, many other elected officals that authorized the action. Your president is not "killing our military", the terrorists and insurgents are. What really "kills" those of us in the military are those who criticize us and our commander in chief when both we and he know what's best for this country. There's so much classified and other information the public is not privy to that would change the opinion of many citizens on this war if they knew how serious the threats really were. Remember how angry and vulnerable you felt right after 9/11? What's changed now? Do you think the terrorists have lost all interest of harming us now? Again, do you think the terrorists have lost all interest in harming us now? How many attacks have taken place HERE on us soil since 9/11? Yes that's right, none. How many of you give credit to your president for that??? Do you know for sure that if we wouldn't be occupying (or have killed) the terrorists in this war that they wouldn't be here in the US conductiong operations??? Maybe or maybe not but they have NOT on your presidents watch. Are you not appreciative of that at all?

Tell you what, if you volunteer to join the military and serve your country then I'll write the president asking him to encourage his daughters to enlist. How's that sound?
