America – make you sure you have suffient weapons at hand (and know how to use them) and an updated passport at all times.

In the end, you will be rquired to fight (and for many to die) for this country

I think the President must be living in a bubble when he makes numerous pronouncements that the world is safer now that Saddam is gone. What world is he living in? The terrorist threats have increased as a result of the misadventures in Iraq.

It’s surprising the congress isn’t impeaching the President & his VP. Someone remind me what was Clinton being impeached for? I wonder what it takes to have Bush impeached in congress nowadays. The bar must be really high.

There are heros every day in Iraq that are comming home in a box or injured. How does the administration repay them? By not allowing pictures of the homecomming coffins,as if they are ashamed of those who died. By redeploying the injured that have no business being sent back to the front. By treating them like crap with the subpar treatment of the wounded, housing them with rat infested and blackmold infected quarters. By treating them like they are sub-human when they can get away with it.
The Republican lead congress refused to hold the anual meetings and testimony by veteran groups about veteran issues to cover up these abuses by the Bush administration.

No one can support this administration and truthfully state they support the troops
This whole Republican lead administration makes me sick.

In WWII we had REAL Hero’s. The USA didn’t need to make them up. There were lots of them and what they did was REAL! But today, the current administration had to make up some hero’s for propaganda’s sake because there were NO hero’s available. What a crying shame!

I will not pretend to speak for the Tillman family, but as a fellow American I thank you.

It stops here.

ok, one of my posts got deleted, but the troll’s posts are still here, nice work TP, NOT….

Exactly my point. If somebody is moderating here, why do they let the troll garbage stay on this site. It is not debate, it is not “another opinion” it is outright slanderous lies.

And yet it stays.

I watched it and wrote an email this morning to my rep and Senators demanding action.
The Army’s actions in these cases are reprehensable. The officers that ordered this have no honor and should be stripped of rank and courtmarshalled.

**crickets chirping***

no response Frank? what a wuss….

Trolls don’t want debate, they want to stop debate, but TP can’t figure that out, so they let it continue.
Comment by Spudge_Boy

Yeah Frank is a prime example of that.
What a wuss chickenhawk that troll is.

Yes. I will support the President who has proven himself capable of defending this nation FORCEFULLY against a foreign threat – no questions asked, no task too dirty.

“proven himself capable of defending this nation”? Not really. He chickened out when he had the chance during the Vietnam War. In fact, he deserted. And now, he’s f*cked up everything he’s touched with regard to Iraq and Afghanistan. He hasn’t made one right decision, especially the one to invade Iraq in the first place. He’s the ultimate f*ck-up. And, if he’s allowed to go on too much longer, he’ll f*ck up our military so bad that we won’t be able to defend ourselves from a REAL threat.

Frank, what special kind of an idiot do you have to be to idolize an idiot like Bush? You righties have got to be brain-damaged.

That video should be broadcast on all the network news so that the public can see real American courage displayed. I am saddened beyond description, as any sane human would be. But I am also appalled at a level I would not have thought possible.

Watch the video. Send your good thoughts and/or prayers to the family. And then call your fcuking congressperson and tell them “It stops here!” Please.

BILL MOYERS JOURNAL – “Buying the War”
On Wednesday, April 25 at 9 p.m. [EDT] on PBS, a new PBS series BILL MOYERS JOURNAL premieres at a special time with “Buying the War,” a 90-minute documentary that explores the role of the press in the lead-up to the invasion of Iraq.

One can’t help but wonder why improvements like registration haven’t been made yet. Perhaps TP depends upon its troll contingent to liven up the threads.

It is a question I ask myself all of the time. A freshman computer science major could set it up in a couple of hours, the software is just as free as the WordPress software TP uses and we would all be happy to do it.

I believe you got it right when you say that TP wants the trolls to make the threads more entertaining.

I think it is bullshit.

TP is trying to be “fair and balanced” like Fox News. But, they haven’t figured out that the other side has nothing to offer. Zero. They have no debate, everything is lies. Why do we have to give equal time to trolls.

Conservatives? Bring them on. We haven’t had one of those in ages. Why? Because they have all wised up to the NeoCon cabal.

Everybody doesn’t need an equal say. Trolls don’t want debate, they want to stop debate, but TP can’t figure that out, so they let it continue.

Ranger alleges cover-up in Tillman case

“I was ordered not to tell them,” U.S. Army Specialist Bryan O’Neal told the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
“Revealing that Pat’s death was a fratricide would have been yet another political disaster in a month of political disasters … so the truth needed to be suppressed,” Tillman said.

Lying for political/partison reasons, AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. Anything to give the false impression that the “war” is/was necessary and succeeding.

Pathetic, incompotent little Shrub.

Yet another compelling argument for registration here at TP.

One can’t help but wonder why improvements like registration haven’t been made yet. Perhaps TP depends upon its troll contingent to liven up the threads.

The real question is: where’s your patriotism?
Comment by Frank Matthews

I am a veteran, with a 20% disability from a leg injury. I served in Iraq 1, nicargua, haiti, and a few mission that are not public knowlwdge.
I was stationed at Fort Brag. 82nd airborne. My MOS was 18b (Special Operations Weapons Sergeant ) before my injury and reconstruction of my ankle, then I was assigned to military police, 31b untill my exit 9mo later.

I served my country for 12 years, and fought for the right of every American to speak truth to power and tospeak out against the abuses of power by the fascist Bush administration.

back at you asshole, where is your patriotism?
