    Jorge,
    What are you doing to win the war? That just isn't a fair question.

    I agree with glynch on precious little, but that question you posed to him is just silly.

    I'm boosting morale by supporting the troops. I'm not denigrating their every move and celebrating their perceived failures. I also support funding the troops, unlike the libs. Come to think of it, what AREN'T the libs doing to try to thwart the troops' evey effort?

    I asked my army friend and he said that he has never heard about you. Good job boosting morale. I am sure for each yellow ribbon, troop morale increases by 3.
    You're problem is that you feel the politicians are the warriors, when in reality they're politicians.

    You are supporting troops? I saw you support the effort to prevent the truth of a dead soldier's last moments on earth from his family.

    I saw you support cutting veteran benefits, not to mention your earlier disrespect of our veterans regarding the planned building of new veteran's facilities.

    I have seen you support the idea of torture, in direct opposition to the wishes of our armed forces, who believe that it will further endanger them.

    With your kind of support, don't ever have to pay child support. You would support your children all the way to skid row, and welfare. That is the kind of support you give.

    The war was stupid mistake from day one.

    Winning means withdrawing our troops.

    Sorry, Jorge.

    Got to know when to fold them. Haven't you ever played cards or had to retreat from a business decision?

    Oh, I forgot you just take orders and others make the decisions.

    Oh well. Just try to imagine. Perhaps a movie or a novel would help you think it out.

    Comforting the Tillman family in an unthinkable situation is a noble goal. I never came out in favor of cutting veterans' benefits. I support torture b/c our intelligence personnel on the ground have deemed it useful.

    Keep making up lies though...

    No cred...

    Let's talk about how you trash the troops on a daily basis and still have the audacity to claim that you support them... Let's talk about how your side is evidently rooting for more casualties, and trumpeting each and every morsel of bad news on the war that they can find. Let's talk about how your side wants to deny the troops funding. Let's talk about how your side has told the troops that they lost the war. Let's talk about how your side is openly mocked by troops in the field. Let's talk about what kind of approval ratings Hillary/Harry Reid/Nancy Pelosi and the like have amongst the troops. Get real.

    I haven't trashed the troops. I've even recommended certain troops such as the brave soldier that reported the abuses at AG prison be given medals to recognize their service.

    Again, you are claiming to support torture, which is in direct opposition to what our troops want. You have defended the cover-up from allowing the Tillman's to know the truth about their son's death.

    i think supporting "aggressive interrogation" would be a better way to put it. :)

    There is a HUGE difference between comforting a family and lying to them for months to the point that you actually publicize the lie in which you explain their family members death.

    No, you merely sat silent like the rest of your neocon brethren as GWB did it.

    You do realize that the military, CIA, and torture experts the world over have said that torture doesn't work. Oh, that's right, you don't let the facts get in the way of ideology.

    Yes, you certainly do.

    You haven't had any cred here since before I started posting.

    Lets talk about how you are perfectly OK with sending them in for longer and longer tours over their objections.

    Lets talk about how you support stop-loss orders that keep them from being able to leave the military when their commitment is up.

    BTW, nobody in here has trashed the troops, they have trashed the LEADERSHIP, and for good reason.

    The media is not "trumpeting" only bad news, they are simply reporting the news. When the VAST majority of the news is bad, the vast majority of the coverage will reflect this.

    Bush is the one threatening to veto the funding.

    No, our side has told the LEADERSHIP that THEY lost the war. The troops went in, did their jobs (the VAST majority anyway) with honor and valor, and deserve to be taken out of the middle of the civil war in Iraq.

    Lets talk about how the majority of troops in Iraq believe that they should not be there.

    Lets talk about the opinion polls showing that the majority of Americans want to bring the troops home.

    Yes, you could use a big ol' dose of reality.

    Jorge is 100% whitebread. His nick is just his nick and not an indication of his ethnicity.

    He does, of course, speak wonderful Spanish and so has a great understanding of all Hispanic cultures.

    His nanny who raised him while his biologicals sipped mint juleps at the country club, went by the name Jorge. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

    Jorge, I might consider taking everything back.

    What a brave soul you are.

    I bet you might even have had a bumper sticker supporting PRESIDENT BUSH AND THE TROOPS on your car back, when they were so popular.

    Yes he did. I used the google to search the internets and I found a picture of T_J's male nanny taken on vacation last year:

    What was the old Beatle song? "but everyone knew him as Nancy"? I admit that such transgendered naming or having a male nanny can lead to all sorts of confusion among those so raised.
