Since when is opposing Killing our Troops and Injuring them a waste of time?

You don't oppose, you cheer.

Since when is being concerned about spending hundreds of Billions of dollars a waste of time?

Col, if it was a democrat doing this you wouldn't be so "concerned". As Charles said above for almost a countless amount of years we have wasted money on a lot of things. Welfare is the first thing that comes to mind. Where is your fake "outrage" about that.

ou people who support Bush and his bankrupt policies that are destroying our country make me sick.

Col, the U.S. economy is great. I know you don't know that since all you read is the NYT.

Well since I have been bogging about the needless death of our troops and the needless injury of our troops, when you say I am a waste of time you are saying the welfare of our troops is a waste of time.

You see, this is where you and everyone else here differs. This country was built on sacrifice, everyone has to sacrifice in order to survive. This world is full of crap because no one has the balls to stand up and do what is right. Regardless of whether we went in to Iraq for oil, WMD or the freedom of the Iraqi people, in the end the end result of a free Iraq, a Saddamless Iraq, the begining of a better Middle East is worth the few lives we've lost in my opinion. If I could I would join the military force and fight with pride for my country. It's too late for me and in part I regret it. I can only hope that one of my sons will consider a military life, that way he can do more than just pay taxes for his country.

You have no faith in anything, you don't even believe the US is a great country anymore. All you care about is your madicare, madicaid and social security. You don't really care about the US or anyone in it, except maybe family members.

Bush began a new plan to secure the Mexican borders, something you bitched about over and over, where is your claim that Bush is doing something about it now? How come you are not giving Bush props for doing his job, even if it was a bit late, but better late than never? You're a hypocrit and that is that.

I NEVER did anything but expressed sorrow for all the death and injuries since this WAR WAS NOT NECESSARY.

BS col. You have never expressed sorrow for any soldier. You are the first one here to make a post about a soldier being killed in combat, and then somehow blaming Bush and Republicans for it, all the while ignoring the democrats. That is why you are a liberal political hack.

It has NOTHING to do with Republican or Democrat. It is spending money we need to be spending on America that is being wasted. Last week a report was released by the Fed that showed 18 of the 20 Billion spent to rebuild Iraq was wasted.

It has everything to do with your posts col. When is the last time you wrote about democrats wasting money? How many billions was "wasted" under a democrat President col? Where is your posts about that? You want to stop waste col, let's get rid of the welfare system to start.

I have a lot more respect for our military then their Commander -in -Chief who sends then to their death for NO GOOD Reason. When it was his turn to risk his life he made DAM Sure Daddy kept him safe in the National Guard. Cheney hid out with 5 deferments.

Col, you have no respect for our military. All you do is use their sacrifices to somehow convince yourself that you are right. You sound just like Dan Rather col, all talk, no proof.

There has not been an equal to the waste of money like the GOP in the past 5 years!

Of course there has col. The welfare program for one. Remember something col. Our economy is doing great even though you choose to ignore it.

So keep living in your world of the liberal media. Keep refusing to look at the other side of the story. You will remain a sad individual.

Bush began a new plan to secure the Mexican borders, something you bitched about over and over, where is your claim that Bush is doing something about it now? How come you are not giving Bush props for doing his job, even if it was a bit late, but better late than never?

HEY COL???? Why you avoiding this???

Do not tell me I have no respect for our military. I spent 30 years service as a member of the military.

I did it!!! I figured it out, Gene is Murtha!! Hes been using Gene as a pen name...

I did it!!! I figured it out, Gene is Murtha!! Hes been using Gene as a pen name...

That's funny right there I don't care who you are. (in the voice of Larry the Cable Guy).

I did it!!! I figured it out, Gene is Murtha!! Hes been using Gene as a pen name...

More like Murtha's puppet or robot if you prefer. Just an outlet.

Yet another deadly wave of attacks across Iraq. Attacks took place in:

Northwest of Baghdad
Western Anbar province
Ramadi
Fallujah
Southwest of Baghdad
Northeast Baghdad
Basra

We are at a record setting number of American Deaths for the month with 5 killed yesterday.

In Afghanistan it appears the Taliban are reorganizing with attacks yesterday killed 100. Attacks in several areas. We never finished the job in Afghanistan and it appears we may be allowing the same sectarian violence that is taking place in Iraq to expand in Afghanistan.

The source of both stories is the AP. Our policy is a failure that a few still do not accept.

o not tell me I have no respect for our military. I spent 30 years service as a member of the military.

I will tell you that again. You disrespect our military every day and cheer for their defeat.

hen a commander in chief lies about the danger to this country in order to invade another country, he has NO RESPECT for the lives of the men and women he sent to their death FOR NO REASON. This is the same person that HID OUT in the Guard when it was his time to serve in the military.

There were no lies col. The only false statements come from your blog.

Also, Bush was honorably discharged. No proof of wrongdoing or "hiding". Is your name Dan Rather?

They CAN NOT STOP ANY person and they WILL NOT BE ARMED.

It's obvious you are losing it. Their job is not mean't to stop people or be armed. Their job is to assist Border Patrol with survellience and technology. Get your facts right.

Welfare properly controlled helps people that NEED help.

Welfare is a useless entitlement program that rewards people for not working and having more kids they can't afford. Only a liberal would think this is useful.

Bush has dropped to 29% approval and Congress is at 18%. ON EVERY ISSUE, including security, the Democrats and preferred by the majority of Americans. On some issues the spread is 10% more want Democrats and in other issues the spread is 35% in favor of the Democrats.

Once again you show you are nothing but a democratic hack. Of course these polls are the same one's that oversample democrats by as much as 15%. If you think democrats will protect our country and keep our economy growing then you are crazy.

Remember col, the "polls" said Bush would lose. Polls have about as much credibility as your blogs and books.

Yet another deadly wave of attacks across Iraq. Attacks took place in:

And a wave of crime and murder happened yesterday in America. Should we pull out there too?

The source of both stories is the AP.

Like the Al-Associated Press is credible. I can't stop laughing.

I notice you still avoid the progress and good news col. Are you just a hypocrit by nature, or just a liberal hack?

This clearly shows how heartless you and many conservatives are. It is compassionate to HELP people that have experienced hard times through no fault of their own. The people in New Orleans for example lost everything due to a storm that did not create. Dirt like you would ignore such people.

Col, liberals like yourself keep people poor through entitlements like this just to secure your voting base. I have no problem helping people who truely deserve being helped. Most people on welfare do not want to get a job because of this entitlement. Being poor is a choice col.

If you believe that the VAST MAJORITY support Bush you are living in a DREAM WORLD. Bush is a looser and on EVERY issue the people of this country DO NOT WANT WHAT Bush IS SELLING!!!!!

I notice you once again ignore what I said. Your beloved polls showed Kerry with a "sweeping" victory. In fact it was just the opposite. Biased media polls, only a liberal would believ them. However col, why don't you respond to polls when they show something good about this country?

If armed insurgents conducted the type of attacks that took place yesterday in Iraq and Afghanistan in America, Bush would have called a NEWS CONFRENCE to declare a National Emergency!!!!!!!!

Armed insurgents, street gangs, etc. Not much difference really. All you do is watch todays headlines from Al-Associated and want to surrender. So many people have posted the progress and good news in Iraq and all you do is ignore it. Even the liberals here get tired of your pointless rhetoric. If the media glorified the murders and crime in this country as they do in Iraq you would be terrified to walk outside.

Tell me when is the last time the liberal media put a good story about Iraq in the front page or headlines? People like you don't look beyond what the NYT's tells you.

Now you are saying the stories carried in EVERY newspaper from the AP are not true? You are truly demented and refuse to see the facts if they in ANY WAY reflect ILL of King George!!!

King George? How old are you really? Col, I can present a fact and make it out to be a hundred times worse than it is. That is what al-associated does. When is the last you al-associated showed you a story about progress and good news in Iraq? Do you even bother to look or are you too interested in how the media can trash this country today?

The is no such thing as "through no fault of their own" unless you had some kind of accident that prevented you from working. You lose you job, you find another. I have been in positions that would garantee me welfare but I have always looked for work and have always found it. You're ignorance to ignore all those people who are NOT in hard times "through no fault of their own" but because they chose to get free money rather than work. This system is faulty and needs to be changed or disolved, there are better ways to help those who need help, welfare is a disaster.

Charles, just like many other libs trying to pose as a caring individuals when I agree with Island dog. They want to keep the poor there so that they vote for them. The fact is they know that these people are stealing from the hard working low and middle class. It makes me sick that I work 40+hrs a week and am happy to pick up a roast when I see someone who just popped out their 7th kid because they don't have the discipline to keep their legs having MANY steaks in there cart. Especially when I know that there are many like myself working hard and basically supporting them. The welfare system is also a part of the insentive for the illegals to come here. Not only are they breaking and entering but they are stealing the sirloin steak out of the fridge and leaving me with Top Ramen. A FACT Col likes to overlook and call me heartless. I support the local soup kitchen. I give clothes, shoes, etc to the needy. I have seen people go from being homeless and poor to being successful. Their is a difference between them and those on welfare. They want to make a change and most like me are too proud to get food stamps. When times are tough you tighten the belt. I don't see that from those on it. There may be a few but definitely not the majority.
