#1 Well, Chris, a look at this would tell most people who they can afford to call their 'enemy' and who they shouldn't.

#3 "I think it's true of most wars," Matthews said. "They start with a lot of excitement.

And Mr. Matthews personal frame of reference is?

#4 "I think it's true of most wars," Matthews said. "They start with a lot of excitement.

But seldom any..."thrill running your ones leg."

#6 Well to terrorists and their enablers - West Point would be the 'enemy camp'.

So for once Tingles isn't wrong. To him and the rest of msnbc - it is the enemy camp.

#10 I've got a few years on'em, but with the appropriate legal wavors signed, three to five minutes of gloves-off in a darkened CONEX box would be most delightful. I'll tap on the door three times when finished.

#12 I guess in Mathews bizarro world people who willingly risk their lives to protect you and I and even jerks like Mathews are "the enemy".

#13 You have to forgive Chrissy. He's a liberal and even the concept of someone willing making a sacrifice for the sake of others (their nation, country, et...) is a truely alien concept.

To Librals its all about sacrificing others for one's own benefit.

he just can't wrap his mind around it. It turns his whole worldview upside down.

#14 He issued an apology. Not accepted. F*ck you, Tingles. Your insincere mea culpa makes you even more of a pig

#15 "So, I thought it was a strange venue."

It was a photo-op.

In essence, Matthews was right: it was 'enemy camp'. You take a President who has no rapport with or respect for the military, who deliberately and publicly took his time to make a decision, then made a tepid speech that essentially went over the heads of his audience, and aimed his political base. A speech that essentially said "I'd rather fight a domestic war on behalf of the progressive agenda. But I'm bring forced to do this, so let's just get it over with. And by the way, Bush sucks."

I'd say Matthews was right, tho not for the reason he thought.
