FYI - you need to have a military unlike Sen. John Kerry who voted against all of the military spending bills. Military spending that gave us the stealth bombers and the patriot missile that saved hundreds of lives by intercepting scud missiles. Without the spending there would be no future generations.

BRUGGER!! YOU FUCKIN ROCK! Finally someone with something intelligent to say! I personally find the safety of our country to be more important than our budget, maybe my priorities are backwards, but some under-educated liberal tree huggers can’t understand that concept. Ignorance is bliss I suppose.

Oh...it was so nice of Bush to finance our defense against the country we attacked preemptively.

Brugger, I agree with you that a solid and capable military force is necessary...I'm not anti-military. I just have a serious problem with what I perceive Bush's incentives for going to war were. If people are going to die (especially a lot more than "hundreds"), and I'm not sold on the cause, I'm going to have a problem. Simple as that. I really REALLY have a problem with how the current administration convinced people that war was needed (using 9-11 to appeal to the sense of American freedom). Many people haven't taken a look at how the Carlyle Group, Halliburton, and others that the Pres. is involved with are making a nice profit from the war. If Kerry gets elected and I see a conflict of interest going on, It's going to be the same thing in my mind.

Yea Brugger! Definitely gonna have to agree with you on this one.
Big L, I know for a fact that there were things goin on over there that the public didn't know. One of my best friends is a Marine and he said there's so many things that we don't know about, but he said they had a good reason to be going over there.
And skaordie...loved the "under-educated liberal tree huggers" statement...haha

Hey Kimmy,
I know that there were a LOT bad things going on in Iraq under Saddam's control. Unsurprisingly, I'm also not a fan of Mr. Hussein. There are bad things going on in many parts of the world that the public doesn't know about. As for your friend, the marine, that's his opinion! I still stand by mine.
Funny how you failed to see that I agreed with Brugger before you posted. And what of the name calling did you find appealing, the childish or the immature part? As if insulting me would make me see things his way. Sheesh.

^^ He's right... Saddam's mass murder count was far short of the 6 million people required to go to war. We should have waited a little longer so he could kill a few more and then we should go in and liberate them...

Nah I'd really just like to see some sort of uniformity. Are we the world police or are we not? Sudan? Uzbekistan? Wishful thinking, I suppose.

So rather than attck Iraq, you'd want us to attack most of the world at once?

Attacking Iraq was the best thing we could've done. We needed more enemies around the world attacking our country.

Can someone please explain to me how wearing down the military unnecessarily (IMO) is the same thing as investing in it? Some people missed my point here.

Amen to that. As the wealthiest country in the world, we have the most to lose (take).
