I really should have finished reading your entire response before writing back, but then, patience isn't one of my attributes.
Yes, I am in the military.  It may surprise you to learn that I am not a fan of Bush, either.
If I could choose a conservative (which Bush isn't) to vote for, I would.  I consider any of the Democratic candidates
for President far worse.  To me, it's a question of choosing the lesser of two evils.

But again, you have failed to explain yourself.
WHY are the Democrats worse?
Because they want more women's crisis centers and fewer jets the Pentagon says they don't need?
Because they want civil rights for the trampled upon, and your side wants a tax cut for Bill Gates?
 

I don't think that Bush's invasion of Iraq was some sort of greedy oil grab like you do.

Then explain the billions of dollars of no-bid contracts for Halliburton and other major Bush contributors.
Sure, the Democrats do it too, but we don't murder the economy and kill 540 soldiers when we sell out.
 

In fact, I think his actions may well prove to be the correct ones in the long run.

So, you admit the present day appearances look like shit, so you're hoping things are perceived differently in the future?
 

I think the whole dynamic in the middle east will shift as a result of invading Iraq.  We have demonstrated that
we won't tolerate the sponsoring of terrorism by any nation.  Iran, Syria, and Libya have been paying attention.

Are you old enough to remember the Reagan cowboy?
Reagan's strongest suit was that he wouldn't take any shit from terrorists - that's why he was elected.
(Well, that and the treasonous and illegal 'October Surprise' deal with terrorists.)
But before and after being elected, he made secret deals with them and armed the terrorists.
Do you have any fucking clue about that which you feel so strongly?
 

I don't care what anyone says...Hussein was a menace and was aiding and harboring terrorists.

Compared to who?
Sure, Saddam was a bad guy, but are YOU willing to die to "save" us from Saddam?
Are you willing to sacrifice 1000 or 3000 brave soldiers to rid us of this "immenent threat?"
Powell admitted in 2001, on the record, that Saddam was safely contained.
What intelligence have you seen that told you we have to go to war RIGHT NOW to save America?
 

Hell, he gave sanctuary to the Achelle Lauro perpetrator...so why not others?  Isn't it remotely possible
that information about the events of 9-11 can't be compromised due to ongoing military operations?
Has that occurred to you?  Have you considered the long term implications and possible outcomes
of the invasion of Iraq, or is it all "blood for oil" to you?

If we want to stop future 9-11s, why didn't we invade the country the hijackers came from?
You are the guy willing to sacrifice young people to invade the wrong country.

When Billy sucker punches you and takes your lunch money, why take revenge on Bobby?
Sure, Bobby's an "evil boy," and MIGHT cause some trouble in the future - maybe,
but if I'm president, Billy's getting his ass kicked really bad for screwing with me.

You don't have an answer for that because there isn't one.
Bush invaded somebody with assets so they could be stolen.
If I'm wrong - show me Bush's barrel-by-barrel accounting for Iraq's oil.

See?
You're stuck again.
Any time you challenge me you'll lose because the truth is on my side.
 

A note about Clinton's supposed record of military casualties (or lack thereof)...
Do you really think that no military personnel died during any of Clinton's military actions or "meals on wheels" campaigns?

First, after Bush's fucked-up invasion and lack of "nation building," how can you call what Clinton did "meals on wheels?"
That tells me you listen to the vulgar junkie Pigboy and you buy every money-making lie he tells you.
At least, when Clinton fed a starving nation, we didn't bankrupt the Treasury and lose 540 people doing it.

Second, Somalia was the only place we lost troops and Bush the Smarter sent those men to die without armor.
Bush was the head of the CIA and had no fucking clue that Al Qaeda ran Somalia?
Why didn't Bush send the armor that was needed with the men he sent to Somalia to die?

You're a military man and you don't see fewer military casualities as an asset?
I'm thinking you could be a 15 year old punk who's NOT in the military.
How can you so casually throw 540 men to their deaths jusr for mere political profit?

You hate the man who never sent a man into battle who never came home
and you make wild-ass excuses for the bungling idiot who's killing your brothers by the hundreds.
What's wrong with you?
Why do I, in my comfy La-Z-Boy drinking Chinaco Anejo care more about dying soldiers than you?
 

Well, let me disabuse you of that notion right now.

ha ha
On your best day, you couldn't 'disabuse' me of anything.
 

Don't assume that we don't die out there just because we don't make the national news.
Or didn't you know that?  As to which I would prefer, war or no war, of course I prefer no war.
But sometimes, shit happens, and we have to do our duty.

Horseshit.
The heroes dying daily in Iraq are dying for what?
Because someday, maybe the B.F.E.E.'s old partner in mass murder...

might decide to launch an attack or team up with the people who actually hit us?

Christ, I'd like to play poker with you.
You get big ideas when you see a pair of twos, but you ignore the Aces and Kings.
 

You hate Bush because he is a Republican.

No, I want Bush gone because he has taken America's reputation and turned it into pure shit.
I want Bush gone because he has taken Clinton's Paradise and turned it into hell.
I want Bush gone because he has declared war on our national parks, the homeless and the poor.
I want Bush gone because he has turned back the hands of time on hundreds of important issues.
I want Bush gone because he has invaded Iraq because "God told him to."
I want Bush gone because he has lied us into a war that might last for a decade, killing thousands
of people like you're claiming to be - the best and bravest American heroes that we have.
I want Bush gone because he has turned Clinton's surplus into Bush's deficits.
I want Bush gone because he has proven he's religiously insane.
I want Bush gone because he has suspended the Bill of Rights.

Even you, Joe Military (so you claim) can be arrested and thrown in prison without ever hearing
what the charges are against you - without a phone call to your family or a lawyer.
Your family could go decades or forever without ever knowing why you didn't come home.

That's what you're fighting for, Bush's Amerikkka.

Fuck all that - give me Clinton's peace, prosperity, and safety any day.
Under Clinton, our votes counted and our biggest problem was how to spend the surplus.
You can't ignore those facts no matter how hard you try.
 

You hate Reagan, Nixon, and any other "R" for the same reason.  It wouldn't matter what he did, you and
others like you would slander him anyway.  You have a blind, seething hatred for conservatives or anyone else
ideologically opposed to you.  If you (liberals) ever got past all of that horseshit, perhaps you could get more
people to see things your way.

Hey, get as hysterical as you want, then re-read the three black paragraphs above.
 

You accused me of being racist when I even dared to mention how blacks have been lied to.
What, black people are immune to lies?

ha ha
This is so fake, people will accuse me of inventing your letter.
No, black people aren't "immune to lies," whatever that means, but YOU said 95 percent
of black people are too stupid to realize what a godsend the GOP is to their race.

I say the black people know exactly who the enemy is, because there's not one elected black person
in a national position because scumbags like Rush tell you incredibly naive cave people that blacks are
the reason why whitey can't get a job and they're all sex-crazed animals, just look at Janet, Michael and Kobe.

You know, as time goes by, you're not getting better.
You keep digging that hole deeper and deeper.
 

You even threw Abraham Lincoln's name out to suggest I deliberately ommitted it.  Let me tell you something.
I can't afford to be racist.  The guy or gal that pulls my ass out of a fire someday could be any color.
I don't give a shit which one, as long as they pull me out.  Hopefully, YOU have the balls to post my response.

Brandt
 

Brandt, first of all, the letter can't be written that I don't have the balls to post.
Since I'm telling the truth, letters I can't post don't exist.

Oh sure, I get dozens of letters about Hillary's sex organs that don't get printed,
(that's why The Forum is moderated) but there ain't a mother-effer in cyberspace who can take me in a fair fight.
That's remarkably rewarding and an incredible ego booster.

Second, your entire "history" is suspect because you've shown a remarkably cavalier attitude about sending your
brothers and sisters to their deaths for no goddamn reason. These days, even Powell and Bush admit Saddam
wasn't the threat they claimed he was, but you're still gung-ho on sending more soldiers to their death.

BTW, Mr. "War is good," why aren't you writing me from Baghdad?
Did your daddy buy you a slot in a champagne unit of the Texas National Guard?

Sidebar:
Dude, I had some fun kicking your ass, but I admire your willingness to get in the fray.
If you really are a military man, I salute your service to our country, no matter how wrong you are.
I'll bet if we had a bottle of Jack and two hours, I could make you change your ways.
