A lib NYC sister.

Dittoes.

She said she wanted to "go fight in Afghanistan" (heh!)

She was and still is 100% against the US going into Iraq.

I told her next time A-Q hits NYC she can fight them herself in Manhattan, I joined and wore the uniform and she choose not to.

I'll watch her fight them on TV.

Next time some digbat leftie says the US should have declared war ask them on who.

Run to Congress for a new separate Declaration of War for every country we put troops into?

Like in WWII?

The Phillipines?

Borneo?

etc.

My lib NYC sister says my email and phone calls are very quiet these days.

That's because I trust her on some things as much as Sen. Leaky

Many NYers have dangerous friends.

NYC will vote for OBL again this November.

This Soldier is so ethical and adhering to his oath that he will not go the extra yardage to connect the dots. Here's part of what he wrote, I'll follow with 'the rest of the story':

"Many terrorists have come here to Iraq where we are fighting them daily and winning. Yes, the fighting has resulted in losses for our side and any time an American loses his life in service to his country, it is a tragedy for all of us. It is the alternative, however, that chills me to the bone. The alternative to my being here and fighting terrorists is being home with my family, friends and Americans like you fighting terrorists. I believe with every fiber of my being that this path to war we have gone down has brought the war on terror to Baghdad rather than Baltimore, to Kandahar rather than Kansas City and to Mosul rather than Montgomery."

Folks, what this ethical Soldier will not put in his letter but what needs be said and repeated ad nauseum is, The Democrat Party leadership are the basis of this crap of 'support the troops but not the war', and the liberal media whores dutifully spew the message. 'Leaders' like John Feckless Kerry, Ayatollah Teddy Kennedy, Joe'nobrain'Biden, and Antsy Pelicanosi are fomenting sedition with their lust-for-power speeches that claim to support the troops but rail against the Commander-in-Chief, call him a liar and impugn the honor of our Soldiers by inferring they are fools to fight 'an unjust war'. It is the democrat sedition puking party that needs a resounding offensive from outraged voters, to send the asses into near obscurity. With our votes to oust these seditious bastards, We the People can win the war at the 'second front' and insure that our courageous Soldiers are received home with the highest honors, instead of the snickers and cat-calls liberal politicians encourage as a means to empower their vote at the expense of our Military's utmost deserved honor. 'Mister voter, tear down this den of seditious power-lusting democrats now in office.'

Thank you for your service, Captain Crow. Your letter from Iraq is both informative and inspiring.

You are correct. A person cannot support the troops, and not support their mission. What they really mean is that they support the troops, but do not support freedom. They support neither. Their motto is: when all else fails, lie, mislead, distort, confuse.

I think it's interesting that one person with a deep moral objection to war and another who is bravely fighting in it, share the same view.

My other favorite liberal equivocation is the Howard Dean classic: I am for the war in Afghanistan but against the war in Iraq.

That kind of like during WWII being for the war with Japan but against the war with Germany. The left's lack of understanding of the broad goals of the war on terrorism undermiens any credibility with which they speak on the subject.

I gave this to a friend and he didn't believe it was written by someone in the military. Any chance I could correspond with Capt. Crow himself?? Or any other way to "prove" he wrote it? I know it seems absurd but hey what can I say to persuade him?
