if defeating the insurgents were as easy as we're being told, then why hasn't israel won by now?

ya know, the republicons keep on keepin on with this bashing about how democrats 'want this and what that' and yet, they jus can't get it through their lil' pointy heads that we want the same thing. its' HOW we get it that we'll do differenly.

can't ya hear all those republicons whining about how the democrats are pissed off at the republicans destroying everything? i swear, they are truly, and i mean TRULY out for blood, to destroy the democrats, not with kindness, but with real weapons simply by majority rule, which by virtue holds the purse strings. republicons know no compromise. they know no openness. they know no negotiation. they do everything behind closed doors, lock democrats out of important legislative meetings, and have come to be the 21st century version of facism.

my letter to the editor of the globe-gazette - it'll be in tuesday's edition. webb(master) cole was nice enough to allow me a day and i was able to take advantage of not displaying the wrong number of dead soldiers.

DesMoinesRegister.com | Opinion: "To require my time in military servitude would not guarantee that what I would do and whom I would shoot would be for Walt Shotwell's romantic sense of America's grandeur and betterment. I would simply be serving and killing based on the decisions of a presidential administration. To many of us, the current administration is profane to our idea of what makes America great. How then would it bind us together if we were required to die for such an administration?
A state of constant war with many nations (when at heart there is but a small group of radicals who want to fight us) is what would require this vast pool of soldiers, and that this state is not only inevitable but desirable is implicit in the author's argument.
I pray that, under the rubric of patriotism and ignorance, our nation does not take this path.
