   It sounded more like he was on his knees pleading for understanding and patience. Bzzzzzzzzzzzz: That is the giant buzzer in the sky telling him that times up. Support the troops by bringing them home. Peace

   Well Finally. Bush has needed to clearly speak to this for a while.

   It’s high time he went on the offensive here at home.

   And Steve, no one wants them there a day longer then necessary, but we cannot afford to remove them a day sooner either.

   That is nonsense talk, Karl. Like bush it has no substance or meaning. Peace

   By making a nonspecific disagreements and then running away, you are the one engaging in meaningless talk.

   I stand by my words, either deal with them their merits and content or walk on.

   This from the President for Peace:

   Because the Iraqi people are the targets — primarily the targets of the bombers, Iraqis are increasingly providing critical intelligence to help us find the bomb-makers and stop new attack attacks. The number of tips from Iraqis has grown from 400 last March to over 4,000 in December.

   For example, just three weeks ago, acting on tips provided by local citizens, coalition forces uncovered a massive IED arsenal hidden in a location in northwest of Baghdad. They found and confiscated more than 3,000 pieces of munitions and one of the largest weapon caches discovered in the region to date.

   Just two weeks ago, acting on intelligence from Iraqis, coalition forces uncovered a bomb-making facility northeast of Fallujah. They capture 61 terrorists at the facility and confiscated large numbers of weapons.

   In all, during the past six months, Iraqi and coalition forces have found and cleared nearly 4,000 IEDs, uncovered more than 1,800 weapons caches and bomb-making plants, and killed or detained hundreds of terrorists and bomb-makers.

   Bush is saving lives. I’ve read A WHOLE LOT about this effot against IED’s. We are now spending over 3 BILLION and figuring out new ways to defeat them with jammers that jam the detonation signal on board our convoys and building new highways around cities so as to have a clear path around IED’s and more than tripling the task force against IED’s.

   Who is doing more for peace? Bush. Who is doing less? Democrats in general. No thank you to Democrats who want more blood and death and destruction.

   2 more quotes from Bush for those who love peace:

   Earlier this year, a newspaper published details of a new anti- IED technology that was being developed. Within five days of the publication, using details from that article, the enemy had posted instructions for defeating this new technology on the Internet.

   Isn’t the legacy press great? They are for more death and blood.

   In 2004, the administration spent $150 million to fight the IED threat. This year, we’re providing $3.3 billion to support our efforts to defeat IEDs.

   Thank you Mr. President.

   One of those courageous Americans was Sergeant William Scott Kinser Jr. He was killed last year by the terrorists while securing polling sites for the Iraqi elections.

   His mom, Debbie, wrote me a letter. She said these words are straight from a shattered but healing mother’s heart: “My son made the decision to join the Army. He believed that what he was involved in would eventually change Iraq and that those changes would be recorded in history books for years to come.

   “On his last visit home, I asked him what I would ever do if something happened to him in Iraq. He smiled at me with his blue eyes sparkling and he said, ‘Mom, I love my job. If I should die, I would die happy. Does life get any better than this?’”

   His mom went on, “Please do not let the voices we hear the loudest change what you and Scott started in Iraq. Please do not let his dying be in vain. Don’t let my son have given his all for an unfinished job. Please commit to complete the mission.”

   I make this promise to Debbie and all the families of the fallen heroes. We will not let your loved ones’ dying be in vain. We will finish what we started in Iraq. We will complete the mission.

   That my friends is being responsible and acting with due diligence. Which Republicans and Democrats are for due diligence and responsibility and which ones are for death and blood?

   Apparently dubya set some benchmarks and goals in the speech. Good for him. Now I gotta ask: don’t some people think that benchmarks are bad?

   steve says, Baklava, your entire face must be brown, not just your nose.

   So you have nothing significant to say about the subject or anything worthwhile t ocontribute for debate steve, as with all liberals, when they hit this point they must attack the person and not the subject matter.

    Steve, You never deal with substance you only state accusations (false ones).

    Thanks Sanity. He just furthers our cause. As we convert/pursuade he dissuades…

    How can Steve say something so racist, then end it with *peace*?

    I dont get people like him who toss a few ad hominem attacks, accuse others of having no substance and then throw out the word peace, like that makes his rant morally ok.

    Fact: Iraq is a mess and a failed bush policy and his neo-con, armageddonist, Zionist supporters are just trying to find a face-savings way out. Your facts are that I’m nuts and Iraq is fine and if it isn’t it’s all my fault because I critized bush. Your “facts” only make sense on Uranus. Peace

    Karl, isn’t it evident that the person is many cards short in his deck like so many on the left? Nothing will please the poor souls except the anarchy their ascendance would cause.

    steve says “Fact: Iraq is a mess and a failed bush policy and his neo-con, armageddonist, Zionist supporters are just trying to find a face-savings way out. Your facts are that I’m nuts and Iraq is fine and if it isn’t it’s all my fault because I critized bush. Your “facts” only make sense on Uranus.”

    It’s amazing you mention Uranus, since that seems to be where your pulling your “facts”.

    How about you give some proper proof about Iraq, that it is the mess you deem?

    No it is not going the best, but no one expected it would be fast and easy, but it is happening whether you and the rest of the liberals like it or not.

    The troops will come home when they begin achieving the goals set out of them. Those goals are being reached and already some units have begun to come back, starting with national guard unit.

    Recruiting goals have already been reached and bypassed in almost all branches.

    You do have one thing right, we do think your nuts. I guess I do have to agree with you there.

    thanks Steve, for being tru to form and proving my point.

    He makes it soooo easy.

    Karl, do you know what a Zionist is? How about an Armageddonist? Because if you do not know who those people are and who they represent, why would you pretend to know what I meant? And then be foolish enough to condemn it is just plain silly. Peace

    Karl, there’s a drawer in the bottom of your refrigerator. Until they can answer back, it’s a futile attempt to talk to veggies. Besides, steve doesn’t even know what he meant. For some reason my students find his unfounded utopian nightmares funny, and the republicans are counting on his logic to carry them through steves teenage years.

    - Steve, your ideas and screeds are “far out” enough without bringing Uranus into things. But at least now we have an idea of where your mind resides, and where your posts come from… Haynes

    Steve,

    It just proves you will use any excuse to shift the discussion to a completely irrelevent argument.

    I know what the words mean. They just have no relevence to the topic, and you can shout them as much as you want.

    Have fun with that.
