   For the first time, this NY Liberal is going to agree with this guy. McCain has to get on his game if he’s going to win.
   I don’t have time to go over all of his normal, Fox-inspired, Obama mis quotes he came out with, but that’s usual for him.

   McCain is not going to win, as he is not the right man for the job. Further, he just does not GET IT. If winning the war means bankrupting our nation, the costs far out weigh the benefits. It is time to bring our troops home, and begin rebuilding America.

   Royce, you may very well be right about McCain not winning. For that very reason, I’ve been stocking up on staple foods, water, and other necessities for when Obama runs this country further into the ground.

   I agree also that we should bring our troop: victorious with Al Qaeda completely decimated.

   You state:

   “I agree also that we should bring our troop: victorious with Al Qaeda completely decimated.”

   America’s invasion of Iraq has esculated terrorist attacks around the world, not brought them down. We had support when we invaded Afghanistan, lost it when George W. bush lied to us to invade Iraq.

   I am curious…how much American blood in foreign lands, and here in America are you willing to shed in the name of a hallow victory? At what cost should we fight for victory and NATION BUILDING? Yes, nation building that has now been incorporated in the Military Manual. Americans are losing everything as we waste over $10 Billion dollars a month in the desert sands of Iraq. It is no longer a war there, but a POLICE ACTION…our Armed Forces were never meant to be, or to act as the world’s police.

   Tell me, what cost do you feel America and her citizens should pay in the name of George W. Bush’s war, and wrong sighted vision of Nation Building?

   Royce Penstinger: maybe McCain will or won’t get all the votes that he should and needs to get to the white house. But I will say this”
   If OHB get in that house, you better get your food, water and anything you need to be able to live. Becuz with the Socialist Dictation in House we will all be sorry and then My Son and all other Fallen Hero’s have died for nothing and our Military men and women are serving for nothing and that would really $&^&*%&$#(&* me off. God help us all.

   Let me add if all people will vote the way the Bible teaches us then McCain/Palin all the way.

   Royce,
   Last I checked, all the countries which are being attacked by terrorist now are not supportive of the war in Iraq.

   Was America attacked since? My country is safe too because of American military power, and you claim to be some “citizen of the world” saying that I am not safe.

   Royce, first I’ll address your questions, then I want you to answer one simple question for me.

   “how much American blood in foreign lands, and here in America are you willing to shed in the name of a hallow victory?” As much as it takes to defeat those that want to defeat us. And I’d be more than happy to spill my blood for that cause. Of course, I’m more happy making them spill blood for theirs!!

   “At what cost should we fight for victory and NATION BUILDING?” Nation building is a natural process of war, so I revert to my previous answer. I have more, but I’m going to save the rest of my answer in the form of a question, to which I’ll be able to completely answer this question for you.

   “what cost do you feel America and her citizens should pay in the name of George W. Bush’s war, and wrong sighted vision of Nation Building?” Bush’s war? I’m confused, forgive me. The way the votes went, this is more AMERICA’S war!! And until you realize that, you’ll forever be stuck in the dumps of ignorance. Yes, his vision was wrong-sighted originally and he’s atoned for that and fixed it, but this isn’t “Bush’s war”. It’s YOUR war, whether you like it or not. Odds are that your representative and Senator voted for it. And what do you care anyway. You don’t have a dog in the fight, do you?

   Now, my turn. Just answer one question for me. Royce, what is the root cause of terrorism?

    Dear Mickey,
    First, I want to thank you for your son’s precious service and I’m terribly sorry for your loss.
    Second, please don’t play into the Fox inspired talking points that Obama will bring Socialism or that only McCain/Palin have the lock on what a follower of the bible would do. There is a part of the bible that advocates an “eye for an eye” and McCain certainly wouldn’t support this.
    Judge the man on his character and what he stands for, not just what someone points out.

    Royce,
    While I never agreed with the analogy of Iraq justification because we haven’t been attacked since 9/11, you can’t tell me that the effort will have been for naught. Not just because of the brave men and women that died there, but giving the Iraqi’s what they wanted, a shot at freedom in a way that hasn’t been tried before. Britain had colonized many countries all over the world. While it was ultimately to serve for Britain, many countries admit to their better standing having had the cololniztion. It wasn’t perfect, but they took a shot.
    Finally GWB may go down as a prize idiot for what he did in Iraq and what he didn’t do in Afghanistan, but he tried to respond the best way he knew (CJ can’t believe I’m saying this…).
    Time will tell and let’s recall how easy it is to play Monday Morning Quarterback.

    David, You are welcome! God Bless all of military past and present.
    As for my playing in to “into the Fox inspired talking points” You are so wrong. I have done my research. I am not a Repub. or Dem. i have my own mind and I stand behind my comments above and their own. But thank you for trying.

    Mickey,
    I stand humbly corrected and I will respectfully disagree, still.
    I will be glad when this is all over regardless. I don’t feel anything is getting done in the interim as the campaign is absorbing everyone’s attention.
