Sam, I was one of those views. Fwiw, I'm not a supporter of this Administration, never was. And I did serve. I remember being sent to the Persian Gulf during a hot portion of the Iran-Iraq War by a Commander-in-Chief who, when it had been his turn to serve 40-odd years later, had chosen instead to make movies about what it might actually be like to be in a war.
But you're right, there are certainly plenty of 101st Fighting Keyboarders in these parts.

So by this logic, anyone supporting gay marriage must be willing to take one up the poopchute for the cause?

Sam,
What you'll find around here when it comes ot Bush supporters is essentially the same mentality that Bush has - ignore the problem that exists or if possible, spin it in to a success story.
Although mvscal has drawn a line between the weaknesses of this administration and his support of the war, he gets a pass on your topic because he did serve.
But you have to look past his "go fuck yourself" mentality. He does it to every one. He's very equal opportunity that way.

If I was in here screaming that this administration is doing the right thing...and I was of serving age...then I should have my ass in the military.
If you are able to serve now, why are you not doing so? Those who feel this is a just war (my use of the word good was in poor taste)...a necessary war...a war to protect your country...why are you not in Iraq? Obviously it doesn't mean that much to you. If you'd rather sit back and let others do your fighting for you while you type away defending this debacle, you are a puss. And not a good American. very unpatriotic. Disgusting.
One of my sons wanted to enlist and get over there as fast as he could. He bought the whole "defending America" crap hook, line and sinker. He's a bit impulsive and is easily swayed by the tripe emanating from the White House. I told him I'sd support hinm whatever he decided to do. Thankfully, he came to his senses and didn't enlist. If I lost a son because of this president, I don't know what I'd do.
So now that gives you the right to ridicule the war effort ?

Sure. If I owned an oil company, I'd be Bush's best friend.

Tom, you have
every right to support Bush. I have no argument with that. I would never hope that everyone would agree with my opinion or with any particular slant. Diversity of opinion(s) is what makes this country as great as it is.
Yes, I'm extremely frustrated with this administration's policies. Yes, I think we are teetering at the brink of losing everything that is important to us because of people like Rove and Cheney. I have absolutely no faith in anyone in the Democratic party either. We are experiencing a period where there is a vacuum as far as real leadership and intellect in our government. It's scary as hell.
Don't get me wrong, Bush has bumbled a bit here and there, but my thought is .... "it's too late, we're stuck with him, let's get behind him and maybe he'll do a better job".
So much of rhetoric now, like even yesterday to undersell the coup of killing Zarqawi, is political gamesmanship and is practiced on both sides.
Anyway I could ramble on, but I wish our people could come home, asap as much as anyone. I wish I could be there with them, but I'm a failure in that aspect and can only pray, wish for, contribute, donate, and chip in where I can.
Do we live in scary times ? Yes we do. But I don't think we agree on the reasons. The bottom line is we live in a world where people mistake kindness for weakness. We're paying for that right now.

THAT ^^ is the understatement of the year.
Tom, do you really equate sectarian violence - sunnis killing shiites and vice versa - as terrorism? Do you really think that us marching around in iraq shooting at religious fanatics will do anything to quell worldwide terrorism?
IMO what iraq has devolved into is bordering on civil war based on sectarian control of power, not a terror war. A.Q. was not there before we arrived, and they will go when we go, as we are their focal point, not iraq. The religious factions will never stop the violence they do to each other. The only thing that kept that in check before was saddams brutal policies towards the shiites. With that removed, they've picked it right back up.
We can't stop a religious war.

OBL Himself released a statement denouncing saddam before the war. Outside of 15 year old training camps, AQ was NOT a presence in iraq when we arrived there.
And A.Q. was not in iraq before the war at anywhere near the level they are now, but our presence there has helped local recruitment quite a bit, because we are a target within reach.
The fallacy you continue to believe is that Iraq is like a bug zapper for terrorists when it's more of a breeding ground. If your theory had proven true, bombings, deaths and the level of violence would have decreased over time, not increased the way it has.
If we're not there, the local crazies have no enemy to shoot at but their own countrymen, which they will do. They won't be coming to America to do it. That's a separate group of nutcases who are already here, waiting.

FIrst AQ was not a presence there. They may have been there to some minor extent, but they were not actively fighting in the war until after the insurgency started. They used the war to recruit.
And you act as if they will be piling into ships to come here to america if we leave iraq. They are fighting us there because we are there and they want us to leave. We will never eliminate them all because we are too good of a recruiting tool for them.
If we are not in their country, we only have to defend our own and we're managing that just fine these days.
Be nice to have the 50 billion they just authorized for Iraq to use here, though. What a colossal waste of our money.
Besides, a good portion of the battles currently being waged over there are either A: sectarian or B: intended to disrupt the democratic process. They have little to do with worldwide terrorism.

WAS NOT A PRESENCE = AL Z was there but was essentially underground, he was not waging a war, he was invisible. He did not declare his allegiance with AL Q almost 18 months AFTER we arrived. THus, there was no real presence of AL Q until AFTER we arrived. got it?
It's about the oil yet. production is not even sufficient to meet iraqs own needs. exports are at their lowest point in years because the insurgents are not under control
its currently all about the insurgents. you may go now.

We are fighting a small portion of an AL queda affiliated group in iraq. The largest battles we have are actually with sectarian insurgents, not OBL terrorists.
AL Q exists as small groups that declare their allegiance to OBL and AL Q. They are all around the world, not Just in iraq, and there is no way for us to go and fight a ground war with all of them.
However as long as international efforts continue to hunt them down and eliminate them, we won't need to keep pouring our money and blood into the sand and call it fighting the global war on terror.

AL Q "Most wanteds" are probably the types that can administer, nurture, and execute, not unlike our own "brass" are trying to do in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Foot Soldiers, logistical support personnel, and the like will be culled from less ubiquitious sources, local and foreign.

That is true, but cannon fodder is in plentiful supply.
Most of the little militant groups that have allied themselves with AL Q are local, or regional, and the recruit from the same area.
What better possible applicants could you have as cannon fodder than a bunch of young men who just had their best friends blown up or shot by the Americans?
add to that the life time of hate indoctrinated into them of western culture, and you will not lack for local recruits.

Well see now you're changing the assertion. I don't think "people from all over the world are flocking" has ever been the assertion.
But clearly, and I'd bet my house on this, plenty of Islamic fundies have. From the Middle East to the Balkans and Chechnya many have come to get their "tickets punched". That would be, they come in, get some experience in fighting the "infidel" and then either die, get maimed, captured OR they move on to set up their own "cells" in some other country.
If you don't think this is occurring, I'd recommend doing a bit more research.

I think most of the fighter are locals, or regional, meaning saudis and iranians as well as iraquis. I did not say every single one is local, but the majority certainly are, and recruitment is mostly local.
And those who may come there are not going to put a dent in global terrorism.
I would like to see a story link that shows some proof of your assertion that peopel are coming from all over the world to fight there. I have not heard anyone claim that but you and mvscal.
All the pics of dead insurgents I've seen are wearing tattered sandals and ragged clothing. Not exactly what you'd be wearing while traveling from europe to fight there. Looks like local poor people to me.
