Where is the media now?
MSM...HYPOCRITES!!!

It’s like dealing with children that want a new toy you don’t think is best for them, and they keep asking, “Why not mommy?”
Our press is just pathetic.
As for our troops, Goodspeed. I am concerned for your safety men and women. My respect and best wishes go out to you.
Well, it's been a year now that our troops have had their hands tied, that can't shoot at the enemy in most circumstances, that have been denied air cover when pinned down - because to protect them MIGHT hurt a civilian, if there were any around, etc.,
This is insanity. Our troops are scarified to protect the enemy...well, OUR enemy, not sure about the WH.
The silence from the press is deafening.
The objections from our generals is not only not there - they are telling us we must accept this now and in the coming months.
DO WE?
thats what i would like to know...its ok for troops to die during the Obama administration....nobody cares? bring em home.
They are swinging from obamas teabags and shouting to the heavens that the messiah is here.
It would seem we have a sympathizer in the WH

Remember one of the first things obama tried to do after becoming King was to make wounded vets use their own health insurance for treatment?
He was surprised when the sh*t hit the fan from every direction. He honestly didn't see anything wrong with such an insane proposition.
Even the Urber Lib Jon Stewart could see that “that can't be right!” (But that was the first in-your-face wake up call to Americans how he feels about our troops.)

Coaches would be fired by morning if they prepared such impossible tasks and plans for their players, as the politicians have created for Afghanistan.
It would be like ... if Jerry Jones became the general manager of a hypothetical team, brought in the wrong players for positions, meddled with the game day decisions and then second guessed the coaching staff and players, blaming them to the media when all went wrong ....

Unfortunately, I get my information from the field - and my heart breaks...and I live in fear, day and night.
(Almost) Everyone pulled together after 9-11. Once the threat receded in their minds they went back to scoring political points.
If politicians were serious about our military then they wouldn't keep gutting parts and maintenance budgets.
Dead soldiers are only victims if the government’s conservative...their just failures under a leftist one.
Kids being sent to a place they don’t understand and being killed so that a bunch of idiots can sell out Israel.
Seriously what is wrong with this place.
If there wasn't a scumbag dim in the Whitehouse it would have been page one, above the fold, bold print large font of every paper in the country.
The POS media makes me sick...
