Oh my....that really put me in my place, blarsen.

Of course you haven't read any of my orignal thoughts....that would require reading comprehension skills.  Silly troll.

A hint....try to read between the lines.

You are such an obtuse little troll.

*Yawn*

Blarsen, Over a few posts I' ve had cause to answer you unkindly. Nothing personal; you just have a few views conflicting with the truth; and this is what I pick up on.

You're right, however, to question the actual thinking capacity of our little "Blonde"-- who is likely more bottle blonde than we know. So what? many nice girls hide that secret. What Blonde can't hide is her banality in this form of discussion. Depth is something foreign to her; you'll never have to dig deep. As soon as you scrape a bit, you see hatred. Pride. Pretense.

To expect her to say anything of substance is wishful thinking. That doesn't keep her from shooting for the moon. But she's never hit anything here. YES; Blonde is good at disparaging others and nobody is safe. Just thought you shoould know this. Her forte is hate speech.

You are extremely mistaken about freedom if that is what you believe.  Let me point you to a quote from the early 1960s, in response to the construction of the Berlin Wall and a subsequent confrontation with the Soviets and East Germans at Checkpoint Charlie over the harassment of American/British/French road traffic in and out of the divided city:

"When we protect the freedom of Berlin, we protect the freedom of London and New York as well."  - John F. Kennedy, 35th President of the United States (1917-1963)

I realize you are a spoiled, whiny brat who has no clue what it means to defend freedom, and in fact desperately wants to be enslaved by a Nanny State under the mistaken impression that IS freedom, but I would give that serious thought and get back to me.

And like it or not, this country is not in a vacuum nor is it invulnerable.  If missiles aren't already targeted on the United States, Russia can reprogram their missiles for targeting on this country in 30 minutes or so.  China has their Long Marches pointed here, undoubtedly, and they are modernizing their weapons and getting a "blue water" navy for themselves.  Iran wants nukes, so does North Korea.  And like it or not, Iraq was still a threat: they constantly harassed our aircraft, and they did house terrorists, like Abu Nidal from the 1980s.

Let me get this straight. You "know" a few soldiers and a contractor who died in Iraq? From where? The papers? I also see that you didn't answer many of my questions, but, then, when put on the spot, I knew you wouldn't because what could you say to me that would indicate that you even understood somebody like me? As to the President, he's made mistakes as do most presidents in times of war; the Civil War, WW II, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War I, and Bosnia. So Pres. Bush is to blame? What about the Congress who supported the war or the American public that were ra ra when everything was great. We are ALL responsible for failure whether you want to admit it or not. Anybody that is  a contractor or service member over in Iraq right now is well cognizant of the sacrifices (meaning life and limb). I could very well see my HUSBAND going over there because it's his job. Do YOU get that? Do YOU understand what's at stake? When I read your posts, you seem far removed from the reality that I face on a daily basis. You never fail to note how you think fighting over THERE means nothing over HERE because we couldn't possibly get attacked or invaded. However, we did get ATTACKED on 9/11 or is that Pres. Bush's fault too? YOU are very naive if you don't see the bigger picture that any foreign policy expert could see in a heartbeat. Are you ignorant of the ramifications if we turn tail and get out? It will be a hollow victory for you but not for the country as a whole. It doesn't take a full-scale invasion to decimate a country...with a few well-placed nuclear weapons, or improvised explosive devices it will be open season. Will YOU be willing to live with that? I won't. Again, you sound very selfish and naive in this post. My husband and others like him fight for your pathetic ass and sometimes I wonder why. I do. You aren't the least bit educated, informed, or even remotely well versed in even some of the more basic geo-political implications of the Middle East. Your answer: cut and run. What will you say when we'll have to go back and clean up yet another disaster because we didn't follow through on our promises? Will you be able to live with that on your conscience? You can barely explain your argument and if you can't answer my basic questions, then why respond to me at all? To show up the military spouse...but then I have more of a clue of what's going on than most of the American public or you will ever have.
