"How do we know he was a lib when he joined?"

I know. Read post #40.

The Captain just proved the Peter Principle again. He reached a level of responsibility he did not, and does not, understand. I can scarcely imagine him as a career military officer. Something is wrong.

I now know I wrongfully placed my faith and trust in a presidential administration hopelessly mired in incompetence, hubris and a lack of accountability. It planned a war based on false intelligence and unrealistic assumptions. It has strategically surrendered the condition of victory in Iraq to people who do not share our vision, values or interests. The Bush administration has proven successful at only one thing in Iraq — painting us into a corner with no feasible exit.

This tripe reads exactly like the paper they want the P.O.W., to sign, when they lead him into a room, and the paper is on the table in front of him, and some guy is screaming at him: "Sign this you Yankee Dog!"

I don't think that he wrote a single word of this statement.

Why U.S. Troops Re-Enlist in Record Numbers

April 14, 2006: In the last six months, the U.S. Army is seeing 15 percent more soldiers re-enlist than expected. This continues a trend that began in 2001. Every year since then, the rate at which existing soldiers have re-enlisted has increased. This despite the fact that 69 percent of the troops killed in Iraq have been from the army. New recruits continue to exceed join up at higher rates as well.

...I live near Seattle and have been reading these rags for years...

I hope that you haven't been paying for them.

All this time and it took this long for one of the more liberal rags to find someone that had been to Iraq to agree with them?
