what sacrifice??? for what purpose???
your country went to war against irak that has nothing to do with 9/11.
so many iraqis got killed for just a few americans. and for what purpose?? just american dictature.

Is all you care about the damn military??In this econmic crisis???Most people are worried about the economy thats why we independents are going for Obama..

How sadly misinformed you are. I feel you pain and hurt. But we are in Iraq for oil money. We had the opportunity to capture Bin Laden and the
Military was directed not to go to capture him. Saddin Hussein had nothing
to do with 9/11 and unfortunately your husband is fighting a worthless battle that has injured and kill Americans and Iraqis all so Bush/Cheney and
cronies could get richer. I hope you decide to find out the facts so you can have a fair evaluation of the the actual situation. I hope your husband comes home safe and sound. I also wish you and your husband start asking question to find out the facts.

She has apparently been brainwashed to believe that war heroes make the best presidents, because she has nothing else to say other than that she loves her children, worries about her husband, and wants America protected.

Brainwashed- the free world owes it’s liberties to the heroes like this woman’s husband- men and women who are willing to commit their lives for a higher cause -
There are bad people in the owrld determined to exterminate all of those who do not enbrace their philosphy- killing authors over books and cartoons- bombing innocent women and children-
A hero, all day, every day -

@ Dan:

Do you not realize that our presence in Iraq and Afghanistan only spurs more hatred and aggression against Americans and our future generations? Do you think the deaths of countless innocents makes the USA a safer place?

When Saddam invaded Kuwait and we went to war, we had the world’s backing because it was a just cause, just like WWII was just. We aided in stabilizing the region, global economic markets, and prevented the oppression of a weaker nation. Of course, our interests in oil were a factor.

Yes, Saddam supported terrorism, but our unilateral invasion of Iraq under a false premise of WMD was nonsense. Iran, Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Lebanon… do they not support terrorists?

The desire to install a like-minded government in the region was our purpose. It was the aggression of Iraq towards Kuwait led us into Iraq, initially. Years later, our aggression towards Iraq (with the tragedy of 9/11 as a crutch) is not far different than Saddam Hussein’s actions in Kuwait. Then we go and chastise (and rightfully so) Russia for their actions in Georgia. But our voice is lost because we don’t have a leg to stand on!

Bush/Cheney did nothing for our country but everything for their personal interests. While I agree we need to curb the production of nuclear weapons in unstable regions, how do we pick and choose who to war with and who to negotiate?? North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan…. it’s only going worsen as other nations and technology evolve.. Does that mean we war with everyone? Where does it end??

I am honored to have three brothers who have served in our Armed Forces, but I refuse to back an old warmongering “maverick” and his clueless sidekick. The fact that an individual served in the military, while honorable, does not imply competency for our Presidency. What qualifications was Palin selected for? Her greatest asset to the GOP is her gender??? Come on.. the nomination couldn’t have gone to someone more qualified? I’m sorry but “Drill, baby, drill” and “Joe Six-Pack” aren’t going to sell me.

I am saddened to see our brave, proud troops’ blood spilled for nothing. For a war without end, that does more harm than good.

Obama has the reason and intelligence to salvage our Foreign relations, end this senseless violence and bring America back to being the envy of the world. McCain looks like a desperate car salesmen with a whole bunch of generalizations. Did you watch a single debate?

I hope this woman’s husband comes home safe and can see those first steps, hear those first words, and be there at home with his wife and family where he belongs. Instead, he sits in the desert not knowing who is innocent and who is the enemy… It’s a quagmire.. Vietnam all over again.

How much money have we thrown away? Endless blank check spending with no regulation or oversight… How many good men, women and children dead? What could possibly be worth that?

Obama will be our next President. What scares me is that the polls are even remotely close. Here’s a message to all those Red states out there: He’s black, his middle name is Hussein and his first name rhymes with “Osama”, get over it. We need a strong leader now more than ever.

Waiters and waitresses are becoming nicer and much more caring. I used to pay my check, theyd’ say “Thank you.” That graduated into “Have a nice day.” That’s now escalated into “You care care of yourself, now.” The other day I paid my check – the waiter said, “Don’t put off that mammogram.” (Rita Rudner)
