#1 The only winners in this game wil be anti-American agendists, anarchists, Govt-ists, and extremists, etal Radicals. OWG and "Globalism" canot be argued for its own sake, but must be argued by humiliating and degrading a USA that they seemingly "hate" but refuse to leave or relocate from. Their response is to gener NOT improve or reform Socialism in other nations, but to turn Amer into something that they themselves hate. PRAVDA [paraphrased]> at least under the Communist USSR, ordinary or mainstream Soviet citizens were permanently poor = miserable BUT D ***ng IT, WERE "OPTIMISTIC".

Half of an imaginary loaf is better than no loaf at all.

#4 Half of an imaginary loaf is better than no loaf at all.

There should have been a whole imaginary loaf except certain stateless right-deviationist wreckers were allowed to roam free in the peoples imagination. This will end.

#5 Back on topic - There are several folks on the front page of the WaPo today, smiling and congratulating themselves.

Several do not accept e-mails from voters ouside their zip codes. Madam Speaker Pelosi, seems to speak for everyone, but will not accept my e-mail. Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is also too good to listen to anyone except those who can elect him, as is John Murtha.

Any of you 'Burgers in those districts that could do me a favor? Pass along my message to the Dems:

Perhaps you have not read the English translation of the bin Laden fatwa, wherein he assures his followers the U.S. has no stomach for fighting, and will run away like they did in Vietnam, Beirut, and Mogadishu. Perhaps you do not believe the threat radicals present to our country at home and do not remember the attacks on the World Trade Center in 1993. Perhaps you think the timid response to that attack did not encourage the radicals to attack again, in 2001.

Maybe you do not believe the publicized message of bin Ladens right-hand man, al-Zahwari, encouraging his followers to rid the Land Between Two Rivers of the infidel Americans, which suggests the radical focus is on our presence in Iraq, rather than attacking on our home soil. Even when my son was in Iraq, with the Marines, his Mother and I preferred the fighting to be over there, rather than over here. Probably you believe the reason we have not been attacked since our incursion in the Middle East is just luck.

I can imagine no other explanation other than ignorance for your voting to end the war in Iraq on any given day, unless it was just to embarrass the President. That would be beyond ignorance and well into stupid, since it would have the same result as telling the whole world that bin Laden was right. Even if the President vetoes the bill, your message to those that would kill us is, We do not have the courage to stand up to you. Come and get us at home.

We left troops in Japan for a long time, and the country thrived. We left troops in Germany for a long time, and the country thrived. We left troops in South Korea for a long time, and the country thrived. We took the troops out of Vietnam when Congress intervened, and millions died. Do you see the pattern?

Whether your vote was based on ignorance, the courage of your pacifist convictions, party loyalty, or craven political greed, I believe your vote has done a great disservice to this Country and the brave men and women who offer their lives to keep us free.
