Turning on the military isn't going to be good for the neocons... Don't they understand what we've trained those brave people to defend?

Controlling the message and the access to the information, just like the democracies of yore. Of course, back then they called it "tyrannical regimes" or "dictatorship" or "oppressive monarchies".

To quote lyrics written by Kris Kristofferson and brought to life beautifully by Janice Joplin; "Freedom's just another word for 'nothing left to lose'". From what I can see, we are almost at a state of complete freedom.

We have the right to see our way of life being defended, and the best form of defence is attack!
Every successful strike never kills the bad guys, just civilians - no weapon! - no bad guy!-instant role reversal!
Every -role reversal- should be challenged - counter such claims-an eye for an eye!
Every time I see the determination of your troops on the you-tube, I thank God for their tennacity in keeping the wolf from our doorstep.
