From Time:This September, Senator John McCain's youngest son, Jimmy, 18, will report to a U.S. Marine Corps depot near Camp Pendleton in San Diego. After three months of boot camp and a month of specialized training, he will be ready to deploy. Depending on the unit he joins, he could be in Iraq as early as this time next year, and his chances of seeing combat at some point are high. Of the 178,000 active-duty Marines in the world, some 80,000 have seen a tour in Iraq or Afghanistan, and 25,000 are now bearing the brunt of some of the worst fighting in Iraq. About 6,000 Marines have been wounded there, and about 650 have been killed. "I'm obviously very proud of my son," says the elder McCain, "but also understandably a little nervous."
I swear, with Republicans if they aren't flinging bombs at babies, they are flinging babies at bombs!

ReplyDeleteShame on you, how quick we forget, remember how many bombs the Liberals threw at the Babies during the Vietnam war...how could you forget something like that even after Kerry remindered us during the 2004 elections.
"Kerry remindered us"
ReplyDeleteWell, hello, George. Shouldn't you be busy working on middle east peace right now?
LJMAN, don't you think Bush should stay as far away from this mess as possible? He could only make matters worse...
ReplyDelete"carpetbombing Lebanon's infrastructure and killing more civilians," LT what about the civilians that Hezbollah is killing, why do we not talk about that, are you afaird Hezbollah may come after you..
ReplyDeleteHezbollah's killing is wrong. That goes without question. That a) doesn't mean Israel should respond in kind, and b) the invasion has only strengthened Hezbollah. Today, Hezbollah launched the most missiles since the beginning of the campaign.
ReplyDeleteHezbollah is a friggen terriost org. They need to be wiped out plain and simple, no second chances, to bad George did not give Israel about 5 or 6 of the MOAB's it would have been over with, now if you want to continue supporting the terriost your choice, like I said before you are a NO TALENT LIBERAL ASS MONKEY
ReplyDeleteLet us not forget also that the people of Lebanon do not want this nor have they done anything to deserve it. Also Israel is twice the size of Lebanon, with twice the people and a very strong military with very sophisticated weaponry thanks to US largely. Hezbollah is a big bad gang of thugs, but let me tell you that if in this situation all of the Crips and Bloods in the country united in, lets say, California and started lobbing bombs at Nevada (just for the sake of argument here) our military would not be justified in carpet bombing California. The staggering loss of civilian life would be CONSIDERED, and we would instead go in surgically and get them. Yes innocent lives would still be in danger, but not just forsaken as is the case in Lebanon today.
