Stop feeding the troll. You're never going to convince him of anything. We need to bring our troops home. This war is the biggest lie this administration has ever perpetuated, and they've told some whoppers. Look at what we've become! We're abusing our troops, we're sodomizing other human beings in Guantanimo, we're even torturing our own military personnel when they blow the whistle on corruption from American companies embezzling millions of dollars from Iraqi reconstruction contracts. Al Qaeda is just as strong now as they were on 9-11 and the new recruits are pouring in. And for God's sake, we need to stop watching Fox News!
