edgar: simple, to the point and just!
Yes Rumps and Bush are very arrogant!
One question. How many of you here have been on the battlefield?
I flew Phantoms fron carriers in the Tonkin Gulf during Vietnam.
I was a grunt, in the field!
Bush is Bush - Army, Custards Cav! (I'm talking about the real Bush, not the annointed one!)
Then, by damn, salute to you soldiers...on and off the battlefield.
The world owes you...
I Corp, '67-'68. USMC, Communications.

ci - So those who disagree with you are misguided and those who agree with you are insightful? Okay. Got it. :wink:
1955 to 1959, US Air Force, Strategic Air Command, conventional and nuclear weapons - during peace time. Served in Morocco for one year. c.i.
I did not serve in combat while in the military.

Twenty years US Air Force---tour of one year in Vietnam flying
the A-IH skyraider. (1965-66)
US Navy April 1962 through January 1965. My three year hitch was shortened by three months when I enrolled in the Long Beach City College. Shortly after I left active duty the Gulf of Tonquien (sp) incident was reported. The ship I served on went to Vietnam to replace the ships involved. - Without me, of course.
Sorry, Letty. I spent my time in the Southeastern US and finally Germany. You go where they send you.

Quote:Because the Commander of the U.S. Central Command will have a key role in administration in Iraq, many have thought that our plans for Iraq are based on what the Allies did in Germany after World War II. But that is not the case. Our intention, in case of war, would be to liberate Iraq, not to occupy it.
Our administration would involve Iraqis as soon as possible, and we would transfer responsibility to Iraqi entities as soon as possible. Following the initial period of U.S./coalition military government, we envisage a transitional phase in which responsibility is gradually transferred to Iraqi institutions, leading to the eventual establishment of a new Iraqi government in accordance with a new constitution.
Just thought that might be germain to the discussion ... go on with the VFW meeting.

timber, It all sounds good, but how many years we look'n at? Two, five, ten, twenty? We haven't even finished with Pakistan, and we're going to add another one? I don't think our administration knows - for sure. c.i.
