“Pakistan has a 400, 000 standing army. funny thing most of the army is on the indian border with kashmir. Why not send at least 200000 of their troops to the afghan pakistan border. makes no sense.”

“people luck focus. I have been saying the same thing. Iraq was on the agenda soon after bush was elected. and then suddenly everyone seems to focus on WMDs...ins­tead of actually focusing on the decision to go into iraq was being planned way before 9-11..but then again this is the american public u talking to.”

“Everyone was for going to afghainstan and now they want to pull out. Same with iraq...Oba­ma dont listen to the public for they dont know what they want. One minute they want this next minute they want that. Obama do what u think is best.”

“Obama is making a decision that will be comprehenisve. It will include many aspects militarily, economic development, involvement of nato, time tables, etc”

“Kucinich would have done the same thing. Its easy to spout things when u are not president. If Kucinich was president i bet u he would not pull out. So i dont take people who are not in position of responsibility serious. Kucinich is not presdient. When he becomes president he will have a better understanding of the political, military and foreign issues he has to deal with”

“Thats what obama is working on.”

“U notice when they interview the soldiers who survived they never asked who shot hassan or how he was gunned down by whom. I saw this guy being interviewed and no question of who shot hassan....”

“What does todd look like. Wheres his photo?”

“Even after the correction they still dont have Todds pic. We dont even know what the real hero looks like...bro­ther cant get a break”

“because I want out of Iraq and Afghanistan.

I think u were not listening.

On Iraq he said we will leave but leave responsibly. He already set out a date 2012. U just cant pack up and go..

Afgahnista­n...he said this war is of neccessity­..It was neglected for 8 years with no strategy or exit....Ob­ama is now planning a strategy and exit.

geez..go back to the campaign speeches..­..quit rambling here”

“munley knows what happened . She should just come out and say the truth. end of story”

“munley knows what happened . She should just come out and say the truth”

“But she will know whther she took any shots.”

“hehee hehhee here here ...u forgot palin...U want to tell me if palin was madelene albright do u think she would get the attention.­..Mccain knows how to pick his women...Ju­st have them pretty and people will like them and forget about their smarts.”

“shhhh...Do­nt start the racial thing...”

“We still dont have the real heros picture..W­heres Todds pic.”

“Americans love a hero...Was that the reason we wnet to iraq so that bush could be hailed a hero by bringing american democracy to the middle east?”

“This is what the white house was saying..ot­her news organizations follow fix news and report it as news.”

“heck they will both be invited to the white house. Black man and white woman..bri­nging the races togather..­another gates/crowley story”

“Wheres is Todds picture?”

“What really caught my attention from the first accounts is that munley had been shot on the wrist even before she fired the gun And nailed hassan several times. hmmm”

“Lost cause. Congress will never turn on cooporations. Follow the money.U will hear america has the best food supply. People will starve if we regulate the food industry. we dont have people going hungry coz of our coporation­s...i can hear it”

“What really is a lost opportunity is that Virginia, new jersey and ny-23 could have benfited from OFA if it were not a tool of the DNC. Plouffe could have mobilized OFA memebers to assist in these campaigns. What a waste. OFA is being run by the same old politics of doing things. OFA should have beeen left as its own entity mobilizing the 13m floks to one common cause..ele­cting dems in local areas. But it appears there was no effeort to mobilize Obamas brigades in these areas. OFA was put to bed when it was take over by DNC.”

“I think there is a big misconception about democratic majorities. We need to understand that democrats come in varieties.­.u have the liberal dems, progressive dems and conservative dems. So not all dems share the same interests thats why it is a misconception to think that since dems have majorities not all dems think alike. The democtaric party is more tolerent to divergent views and thats why u have candidates who are not beholden to either extremes running on democratic tickets. The democratic part is so to speak a big tent. And this is the way of the future. With the republicans u have one culture..r­ight wing republicans who all share the same believes and follow the same script but times are chnaging. Every 10 years the demographics of the country keep changng. They are not static.
Take for instance gay issues 20 years ago both parties would not even touch gay issues. But look whats happening. How many states are now having gay marriage on their ballots. U can tell there is a tolerable change toward gay issues where 20 years ago it was considered taboo to even talk of gay issues which were always relagte to the periphery. But look how powerful the gay coalition has become. In 10 years gay marriage will become federal law. . Its just that times have changed and republicans need to move with the times and not the america of the past which they wish they could go back to.”

“Bush photo ups..Bush was so eager to be flown in a jet wearing fatigues, trying to look cute and landing on a carrier claiming mission accomplished. But did not want to be seen with family members who lost loved ones..i guess he did not want people to see the uneccessary war he sent these troops who sacrficed for nothing.
Obamas photo up...makes us realize the heavy cost of war. Brings attention to the nation that its not just sending troops to fight there is a heavy price to pay.”
