Two points: Supporting the troops: Paying taxes != supporting the troops. Supporting the troops goes above and beyond what is required by law.
Bush = Failure because of his past job experiences. Remind me the next time I'm looking for an architect for an application to ask them if they've ever made a mistake in an application. If they say yes, I'll immediately discount them for the position. If they say no, I'll call them a liar. -----Original Message----- From: Gruss Gott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2005 4:38 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: REAL news from Iraq > Kevin wrote: > I never assume that.

Of course I also pay to train them, get them weapons, and give them vacation time, sick time, and retirement. As with any employee, you wish them the best and you want them to succeed because if they do, you do. That having been said, I wonder how many would walk away from Iraq if they were able to? Given that recruiting numbers have been way down for a few years and the military has resorted to taking the "class 4s", maybe we have our answer. Iraq is a policy debate and the Administration's assumptions have turned out to be crap. Further Mr. Bush refuses to bolster his current direction, pick a new one, or get a new team in. If I were a soldier, I could fight to get my buddies out alive, but I sure as hell wouldn't be following Mr. Bush - he proved himself strategically useless back when he bankrupted his first company. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:185227 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
