Thanks, Joe...

[Sabre]

Nobody has said it better.  Please write your congressmen and senators and tell them to stop this travesty of a "resolution."

"What we say here is being heard in Baghdad by Iraqi moderates, trying to decide whether the Americans will stand with them. We are being heard by our men and women in uniform, who will be interested to know whether we support the plan they have begun to carry out. We are being heard by the leaders of the thuggish regimes in Iran and Syria, and by Al Qaeda terrorists, eager for evidence that America’s will is breaking. And we are being heard across America by our constituents, who are wondering if their Congress is capable of serious action, not just hollow posturing."


Amen!

Better yet, march right down to the local recuiters office and put it on the line intead of flappin yer gums at someone else's expense.

Some of us did and tried to get back in. What did you do since you're in such a mood for volunteering others?

Last week the most I could do was to be an honor guard with some other Patriot Guard members for a soldier who came home.

[Yeager]

Joe Lieberman has it right.  Unfortunately its too late for Iraq.  Without global war and the genuine and real threat of our immediate annihilation, we can never win against radical islam.

I signed up on my 17th birthday and served 4 years. There are some here cheerleading that hav'nt set foot in a recruiters office.

Lately I've been collecting phone cards for wounded soldiers.

What Mav said.

I tried; if you can find a unit that will take me, I'll go.

I signed up at 22 and served almost 7.

I'm one of those though I did take the air force test in 78 when I was 19 with a 18 year old pregnant wife. I found a job before I had to enlist and wonder to this day if I couldn't have done better in the military.
those of you that have served and have paid the price for our freedoms. I very much appreciate your sacrifices.

I do not feel I and others who have not served should be excluded from an opinion on the issue

Senator Joseph Lieberman because he is right on this one imo

[rpm]

Maybe if a few more "experienced" people were in Washington, we would'nt have to have this debate.

that story lists Lieberman as a democrat, i thought he was elected as a independent?  Maybe Joe should run for pres as a independent?

Did 6 years.

Nice read Sabre...thanks

[Ripsnort]

we should just run away, let Iran take control of the region, (with nukes) and hope the bad guys keep the oil lanes open. Right RPM?

[rpm]

No, but pumping more men into a needless meatgrinder isn't the answer either. The vote is not "against the troops" as the Bush contention would so love to spin it, it's a vote of no confidence in Bush's plan and for the safety of our troops.

He ran as an independent but re-signed with the democrats the moment he won.
