Brice, If it matters at all...Thank you...for all you are doing.
One thing I never got from Obama was an 'anti-military' kind of attitude. I actually got quite the opposite feeling from him. Mayeb its a case of him learning from what Clinton did. I may not like some of what he stands for, but I don't think he has similar feelings towards the military that other (sterotypical) Democrats do. I think the fact that he said if Pakistan would not help us, then we would do it ourselves when talking about capturing Bin-Laden is a pretty good indicatro of how he feels. Now we ust need him to act on those words. On Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 10:51 AM, Bruce Sorge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sorry to take so long to answer.
