Has anybody pointed out that over 100 innocent men, women and children were massacred at Waco, under the orders of our own Justice Dept., to get one man, David Koresh?

Um, that isn't what happened.

Good morning.
"This is a worthy, just, and necessary fight."

It is a war for survival. Iraq and Afghanistan are just battlefields in that war.

Academia, the MSM and the halls of Congress are other battlefields. The more things change, the more they stay the same, eh.

Playing peace keeper and policeman in a war torn, urban guerrilla setting has to be incredibly tough, frustrating work at times.

Its not, IMO, what our military does best.

All these men are, of course, innocent until proven guilty in a court of military law, but beyond that, let no one sitting safe and secure back here in the states, judge what may have happened over there, and why it happened.

Absent clear, compelling evidence of a war crime, I'm inclined to give these guys the benefit of the doubt.

Question: Why has there not been any word from the defense?
