to all the men and women who have fought for this great country and kept us free from all the evildoers who have coveted and still wish to bring us to our knees in the past two and half centuries.   We are greatly indebted to them,  that we are even able to act like the children that we act like, on here and in our elected offices.  Maybe for one day we can come together and unite as a family,  we owe it to those brave people who died and suffered for our freedoms.

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."
- John F. Kennedy

That was  "Intelligence".   Just as President Obama said he acted with the "Intelligence"  he got,  so did President Bush act with his "Intelligence"  and I do believe (I could be wrong)  that Congress and House were there along his side,  in giving the go ahead that historic day,  Oct 7, 2001,  1 month after we were attacked on our soil.  

It would also appear that that our current President,  did not totally disagree with President Bush:

"During President Barack Obama's campaign for president in 2008, seven years after the war began, he argued that Afghanistan was the "right" war. He was elected President and went on to push for an escalation of 21,000 and then another 30,000 troops in Afghanistan. In announcing his second surge of troops in December of 2009, Obama said troops would begin to come home in July 2011. The president and others in his administration have since undercut that promise, saying that date is simply the time when a "process begins." Depending on conditions in Afghanistan, we might not bring any troops home at the beginning of that "withdrawal." Our military commitment to the corrupt Government in Afghansitan remains open-ended."

Can't imagine how anyone in their right mind would want to be President,  50% are going to love you and 50% are going to hate you.

Americans were lied to by Neo-Conservatives that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. When in fact they did not. Neo Conservative presented Collin Powell with faulty intelligence and allowed him to go in front of the UN and make a case a war. He made a complete Jackass of himself and the U.S. If Romney had been elected President the U.S would most certainly have gone to war against Iran because the same ass holes advising Bush were the same foreign policy experts advising Romney. There is a case to be made for going to war against Afghanistan, it was a failed state and AQ was operating out of militia camps in Afghnaistan and launched an attack on the U.S on 9/11.

they won't be. And this isn't an "oh fuck u said sompin sompin 'bout mah Republican assholes so I'll thrash Obamah".  Get real Cherie. Obama doubled down in Afghanistan.  Both should never have been launched. Show me ANY FUCKING SCINTILLA OF "intelligence" that justified going into Iraq or Afghanistan.  You mean we haftuh fight 'em over theah so we don't have tuh fight 'em over heah.

It's wasteful bullshit throttled by the provider clikent relationship of Congress and the Lobbyists for the military industrial complex pure and simple.

We're going to keep 15-30,000 troops and 3 X that many contractors in Iraq.  Afghanistan will have even more. Forevah.

Who won Florida Cherie?  Google it.

How dumb to conflate and equate criticism of having troops in Iraq and Afghanistan with the actual troops' bravery or value. TWO INCREDIBLY FUCKING DIFFERENT THINGS.
