I think I do a good job of keeping my emotions in check and being rational about this issue. All you see is the tip of the iceberg Ray. If you want to keep me off your ass then keep your posts clean. It is perfectly ok in my mind to attack the war, the civilian leadership, or the senior military leaders. Hell those positions are political anyway. So attack the war or the admirals of war, just leave the warriors in peace. They have earned that consideration as a minimum.

I really, really hope Bush is losing his political resolve for this war and pulls out after the elections.


My son comes home in March. He has already been told that he will redeploy in October of 2006. The only viable reason for him to not go back is if the Iraqis have established a stable environment or can handle internally the conflicts that remain. Anything short of that would be a mistake.
