#3 This reporter Ann Tyson has a litany of left-wing propaganda pieces that go off as "reports" This truly should be called "Dire scavenger hunt for soldiers who will say something provocative about Bush"

Just do a google search on her, and you will see she's not only a card carrying moonbat, but a charter member of the association.

#4 ...huge sections of Afghanistan, that the Moron-in-Chief has handed to the Islamofascists.

Hmmm. Wasn't aware that Afghanistan was originally so hard-core Lutheran. Shame to lose such an important piece of Christendom to the infidel.

#5 "I almost puke every time I hear him spew his oil-patch/faith-based notion of 'freedom.'"

Thank you very much for giving such credit to the oil patch. But, with all due modesty, I think us oil-patchers have to share the credit with some guys with names like Washington, Jefferson, Adams and Lincoln. Also, there's this big statute of a lady with a torch that, oddly enough, is in New York Harbor rather than Galveston Bay. But hey, I appreciate the effort.

#6 What a LOON I live in the "oil patch" It has just as many LLLs as any place else. But I wouldn't expect some one who couldn't make it outside of the "big city" to understand that. One thing is for sure however you will get the shit pounded out of you here for being stupid so I suggest you stay far away.

#7 this is b.s., military members *while in uniform* & especially in a war zone are barred from speaking ill of the c-in-c or any other dignitary covered by the UCMJ - this is well known and doubt anyone would speak ill of him to some reporter, we tend to distrust the media. Most Marines I know from the E-5 paygrade and below do not have too many political interests or opinions. Mostly due to their age and experience level. I'd say most enlisted vote republican just like the officer ranks minus some minority members due to family voting history.

#9 A6334: Americans went for Nixon in 1972, even though the Vietnam war was unwinnable. Why? Lots of American lives were lost there, and Americans couldn't bring themselves to believe that it was for nothing, which exactly describes that unwinnable fiasco.

The guerrilla war was won. The Democrats made sure that the Communists won a conventional blitzkrieg 3 years after American troops withdrew, by withholding military aid and air support even as North Vietnam charged south with billions of dollars of brand-new tanks, artillery and Mig's supplied by China and the Soviet Union. Why do liberals love America's enemies so?

#10 Why do liberals love America's enemies so?


perhaps because they agree? Self-destructive self-hate... maybe we need to give them razors and encouragement so they don't take anyone else down with them? Naahhhhh - it also has to do with dissatisfaction with themselves, their lives, and they blame it on those not in their control. Ergo: the Nanny State

#11 A reporter records soldiers griping - I don't think that was news even during the time of Alexander. She effectively avoided all soldiers with patriotic notions who remeber 9/11 and don't want there to be a Beslan tragedy in Nebraska.
