“I was only trying to stir up some interesting debate (among all of this drivel) regarding some quite thought provoking concepts from a Medal of Honor winner that are basic to deliberations in ANY war.”

Yeah, and I bet you really care what Oliver North says.

What has changed since Obama pronounced Afghanistan as a war that we should be fully committed to? The election fraud fiasco that occurred in that country drove home the point that the government there is corrupt. I’ve heard Karzai refered to as the mayor of Kabul. So now he has little power and no legitimacy. Will thousands of more troops fix that problem?

How stupid is this premise you make Jay, “Should Obama take his orders from the generals?”

For the love of God, it is PROFESSIONAL ADVICE, not orders. If Obowo’s doctors say he needs his appendix removed, or it will burst and he may die, is he then taking orders from his doctor to have it removed?

I presume then that this is a racial thing, since all of his generals are white as well.

That is the first and last bastion of defense for you libs isn’t it, racism?

Maybe Obowo ought to tell the Taliban he’s black, show them some photos of him, and tell them that it is racism and they are racists if they pursue this avenue of death and destruction (in their own country).

Surelt then they will bow to him…..unless he bows to them first.

Has anyone stopped to think how the Obama Administration and the Attorney General have put the people of New York, the judge, the jury, the prosecutors and numerous others in such grave danger by moving the terrorist trial from Gitmo to that city? Security at Gitmo would have been relatively easy due to its remoteness, etc. and in addition, now defense attorneys will attempt to create a circus of this whole event.

It’s hard to believe the obscene inconsideration at work here by those who are supposed to serve the people.

Citizens of New York …………….. you are getting what you voted for. You just didn’t realize it at the time.

After 8 years, what’s the hurry? It’s more important to get it as right as humanly possible.

To Mike:

Sir: Thank you for your somewhat shallow reply.

I was only trying to stir up some interesting debate (among all of this drivel) regarding some quite thought provoking concepts from a Medal of Honor winner that are basic to deliberations in ANY war.

I obviously asked the wrong person.

Common Sense –

I think it is the opinion of one man who was not involved in the deliberations leading up to the Iraq War.

Jackie –

“You should listen closely to Normal. The man had 3 tours in Viet Nam, with 2 of those tours being voluntary.”

What is your point? Listen to Normal about what?
