It is precisely Bush that is threatening to veto the funding bill, thus endangering the troops. Doesn't he believe in supporting the troops?

Benedict Arnold had more honor than Carson. "Patriot"?

They were also asleep at switch in the summer of 2001, but that is another matter.<BR/><BR/>In any case I blame Bush 43 (not 41) for squandering our unity, alienating our allies, and destroying our credibility by going into Iraq. True the media and most of congress went right along with him, but still it was his and Cheney's propoganda that fooled them. <BR/><BR/>Now there are no good solutions out for us or the Iraqi people. <BR/><BR/>At least Julia Carson was one of the strong and honorable politicians that were not fooled.<BR/><BR/>She is the true patriot and should be praised not derided.Doubting Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12568210935984754218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-48856245815406642902007-04-05T09:19:00.000-05:002007-04-05T09:19:00.000-05:00I'm amazed that Wilson knows so much about Pence's...I'm amazed that Wilson knows so much about Pence's trip. Were you there Wilson? Have you been to Iraq? "Fairy tales" are what the News Agencies are reporting and what you are repeating in your postings. <BR/>I would recommend that you talk to the servicemen returning. They can truly testify as to what is happening over there.<BR/>One truth that we know is, Pence supported the troops in every vote. Carson on the other hand has stated that she supports the troops but not the war, impossible. Refusing to fund supplies including body armor to prove a political point isn't support, it‘s treason.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-47259850306292002972007-04-04T11:48:00.000-05:002007-04-04T11:48:00.000-05:00Mike Pence is no dummy and knows exactly what the ...Mike Pence is no dummy and knows exactly what the deal is with the staged photo-ops. He is fully aware that he's not truly out there doing casual shopping with average Iraqis. <BR/><BR/>He's hoping that his constituents believe the controlled news-stories. Hoosiers are tired of the endless nation-building of the Republicans. We are tired of the deaths of our troops. We are tired of the $2 billion per week squandered in the lands of the Tigris and Euphrates.<BR/><BR/>Mike Pence has to present fairy tales to suppress Hoosiers reasonable concerns. But facts are stubborn things and have a liberal bias, it seems!<BR/><BR/>Salon has a great story about Pence's failed history of prognostication.<BR/>http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/Wilson46201https://www.blogger.com/profile/14214029150233485312noreply@blogger.com
