But what would they know, they are only there.

After listening to Petraeus and Crocker, I really feel confident that we can't feel confident about anything.

So they talked to all 150,000 troops that were there? Sure they did......

Wait? Why is it when we provide a poll that says the opposite the response from people like Rayboy is that the troops have no say and do not set policy? That the Government runs the show?

I never said that you had no right to have an opinion. I just said that it was, in fact, worth nothing.

Well, if you read the whole thing you will find that the poll included 944 people, most of whom were reservists and National Guard.

Hmm...a poll from 2006. Got anything more recent or is someomne just trying to stir the pot? Also, I did not see the questions asked in the poll; that would be interesting too.

For those who do not know my posting philosophy, I think polls are as useless as airbrakes installed on a turtle.

You just make up shit. Where did I ever say that?

Go back on your meds.

Ohh look an attempt to deflect. The people that NEED meds are you liberals in fantasy land.

Deflect, my ass. You're the expert there.

I only disagreed with you. Your biass is shown by saying all liberals need meds.

Let's just agree to disagree.
