Don't forget us civilians whom have volunteered to be here also. Some more than four years, which makes my 13 months look insignificant. But I have met several hundred Iraqi's, none of whom have wanted us to leave, just yet, if at all. Hey! Don’t forget us civilians whom have volunteered to be here also.

I just got back from visiting my son in Pensacola. We went to poker night with him. This is frequented by a bunch of Marines of the copter variety. Yeah, no way could they use "archipelago" in a sentence, being the ham fisted neanderthals that we all know they are... Funny how they can keep those birds off the ground! (And fly to support their brothers, God Bless Them) Kinda made me want to cry just being in their presence. Luckily, there were two adorable dogs in the house. I let the knuckledraggers play their card game while I watched a football game and played with the dogs... Snake – You do my heart good!

I heard them both speak at a small gathering for the League of Women Voters in about 1998. This was during the Clinton stock market go-go years where everyone was rich and the world was a happy place. After all, the Islamofacists had only bombed American offshore interests at that time... Oh, except the WTC part one... They viewed the U.S. as an evil imperialist power back then! The ills of the world they laid at the feet of the U.S. Think about it, how far left do you need to be to condemn the U.S. during the Clinton admin. regarding intervention in other states??? Two greater nutjobs, I have yet to encounter. So, while we have those trying to tell us the story in Iraq, we also have those with a national audience hell bent to tell us that everything we do is wrong. And then there is the recent article in Newsday written by Tim Phelps that says that the entire region of Basra is in chaos…

I think it's an unfair, but sweetly snarkey, libel on the 10th Mountain...suggest in the future that comments of this nature , on this blog, would be more appropriate if directed at the Marines, a much juicier target, and not us Dogs ...DAT's forever.

We must lose in order for the Democrats to win and in order for them to secure political victory they will overlook anything that remotely resembles progress in Iraq. Nevermind that in doing so they dishonor their own soldiers and make their mission even more difficult.
