You are one scary dude, old warrior. You are flat out saying that you want to give up your freedom - turn it over voluntarily because of what? FEAR?

I am glad that most of our fellow Americans seem to be made of sterner stuff. Cowardice should never be the driving force in our national policy.

You say that you support Bush - but you don't, not really. You do not support the impossible mission that he created for our troops.

Bush's goal is to create an America/Israel friendly Iraqi democracy - remember winning the hearts and minds?. You want the troops turned to loose to kill anything that looks like it might oppose them. Sadly, the two goals are not supportive of each other.

Me, I want our kids out of the butcher's shop. Let the Iraqis kill each other to their hearts' content. It is not our fight and never has been. Bush abandoned our fight when he pulled nearly all of our troops out of Afghanistan and left Bin Laden and his bunch to die of old age.

And that is my opinion - which I will also not shirk from giving.
