HA HA Go Jonny Mac! That is great! At first I was somewhat pleased to see the Impact space on My Space. I am still somewhat new to having relialble internet service but have been enjoying my space. But I am sad to say that it seems that the candidates are using it the same old way. Every ten minutes you get a blog from Barack and Hillary's is kind of a joke. The way her friends connect was set up was lame. I am still reserving judgement on some of the others. But I guess I was hoping for something a little more relavent out of them. And not just another avenue for them to beg cash but to maybe find out what people are really thinking and what issues are truely important to people.

We have discussed McCain in earlier blogs. The man has lost it. He is not the same straight talk guy he was a few years back. I don't know what has happened to him. Either he fooled us back when he appeared to be a maverick willing to take on anyone including his own party, or something traumatic has happened impacting his ability to fight the right fights. Although I will always honor his service to this country as a prisoner during Vietnam he has kissed Bush's rear to many times over the last several years and is supporting the Iraq war. This is all I need to know to eliminate him from any thought of him becoming president. The breach of netiquette by his people noted in this story just confirms McCain has been buddies with Bush far too long.

Keith: Hannity's selection as Worst Person of the Day, Week, Month whatever is right on. Unlike Limbaugh and O'Reilly who may have an excuse for being idiots because of some serious inbred illness they cannot control, Hannity knows exactly what he is doing in order to make those $$$$$$$. He started out quite conservative but has learned like Ann Coulter that the more controversy you stir up the more attention you get and the more $$$$$ you can make by way of books, etc. This places Hannity even lower in the dung heap than the others. He and Coulter are about on the same level of s---. His claim that the dems are legislating defeat in Iraq is exactly the kind of BS he knows will get him attention. Even more unfortunate is that there are people in this country who listen to this guy. These are the same people who think those Sunday morning money-grabbing preachers are going to somehow show them the way to the gates of heaven. These are also the same people who would have been the first to be swayed by the nazi rhetoric and to volunteer to join the Gestapo. The whole time Hannity is laughing all the way to the bank.

It is a complete (and potentially libelous) mischaracterization to imply that Mike of Newsvine somehow "hacked" McCain's MySpace page. He did nothing of the sort. To the best of my knowledge, Mike has neither the ability nor the inclination to alter any code on McCain's site. The template on McCain's page was hotlinking an image that was hosted on Mike's server. Mike has complete ownership of that image, and is free to do whatever he wishes with it. The fact that McCain's people chose to hotlink to an image that they do not own, and had no right to display, is entirely their own fault and their own problem.

I'm not sure what message Mr. McCain is trying to send to the American voter. Is he a progressive who is atune with the wants and needs of our current era, or is he a conservasaurus who is sticking to his party's position no matter how unpopular it is with the American people? I think the republicans who run in 08 are going to have a hell of a time trying to convince us that they are genuine, and they are testing the internet waters to determine if it can be a safe place to campaign. With all of us perching hear ready to squawk and allert the masses when we hear a hypocritical statement, perhaps those with poor intentions will be afraid to stand against us, or perhaps they will just learn how to hide the truth from us like the current administration was able to a meer 2.5 years ago. I think we're in trouble.

Geoff Trowbridge, "Hacking" is more of a general term in this case (which Mike from Newsvine himself uses to describe what he did), but you're right, he did not alter the code on McCain's page, he altered his own image on his own server, to which the McCain site was hotlinking. He did nothing even approaching illegal.

You would think this is the type of thing that the "old" McCain would have laughed at and gone around talking about to every media outlet that would listen (it still could be a publicity stunt). No big deal, his web people screwed up and got pinged for it.. sounds to me like everyone got a lot of publicity and nobody got hurt.

Forget the hacking and the code or anything to do with the MySpace page. Who cares. This is all mote to the bigger question of McCain's candidacy. He has lost it. He no longer has any independence or fervor for a good fight for what's right (and I don't mean the political right). Joe Friday is correct. The day he cuddled up to Bush after Bush ran that dirty campaign against him, and his wife, in SC, is the day many of us lost all respect for him. His long-standing support for the Iraq war and his desire to escalate it, is another nail in his coffin. Ron from Tarpon Springs is right too but is too kind. Hannity is a jerk but I have a much better selection of words I won't use here to describe him.

Mr. McCain was doing well when he was expressing his opposition to torture of prisoners in Guantanamo or anywhere else. But something happened. Suddenly he supported the President's political prisoner policy (which, does, by the way, includes torture) as if the torture had somehow disappeared. After that it's all been downhill. In my opinion the leadership of the Republican party promised him something he must desperately be in need of to make him be quiet and become a Bush "yes man"

My first reaction when I heard this was to be bothered by it. There is enough trash talk in politics, and to "punk" a candidate is to further lower the tone of the national conversation. Then I realized that the image exists on the newsvine site and I changed my mind. That's fair game. This isn't hacking. This is an amusing way to point out to someone that they are inappropriatly appropriating resources (quick, W, say that 3 times). And its so over the top funny no one will be fooled into thinking its legit. And you are all right, Sen. McCain has lost the "straight talk" quality that made him appealing, and Sean Hannity is beneath contempt.

What is a funny little story has some how turned into republican and Bush bashing. I am wondering though about the rhetoric concerning Bush's unpopular policy in Iraq. As unpopular as that policy is, the dems have been moving forward on their policy, yet the the job approval rating for congress is lower then the presidents job approval rating. It's ok though, I'm sure the congress rating is based solely on republicans performance, not the majority dems.

McCain For 'Marriage Between Passionate Females'

C A, Tuscaloosa, AL — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 18:43:48 GMT

Let me tell you my thinking on this. If you disagree that is fine. Most of you on these blogs are intelligent people who study the issues and make very wise and detailed comments regarding people like McCain, Bush and the current presidential candidates. For example, Geoff Trowbrifdge from IN. whether you agree or not made a very comprehensive study and response on this MySpace page issue. And although I am not in any way calling the average American ignorant or uninformed, the average American voter is ignorant and uninformed about the issues. They vote on emotion. Many voting today can't even tell you who the first president of the United States was. So while we become engrossed and angry in discussions about details, like the MySpace page issue or the House bill to get the troops home, the avergae voter will be swayed by how the bigger picture is twisted by these people. We all know that many bills Congress passes have spending issues tied to them. Yet the average American voter will hear, and listen too, the rhetoric as to how the dems simply wanted a wasteful 20 billion dollar spending package and therefore decided to tie it into the same bill that calls for the withdrawal of troops. I could go on the street tomorrow and tell your average voter that the only way some dems would vote for the troop withdrawl bill is if they could have their 75 million to provide storage for their peanuts in Georgia, or their 25 million for their spinach farmers, and they would believe me. The point I am trying to make is that many of you provide excellent detailed arguements about this government, past and current administrations while also hoping that we can find ourselves a better president and administration to run this country. And legitimately so. But I am telling you, the winner's of future elections are going to be elected by that average American voter who votes on emotion and who could care less about the MySpace page. If we want a democrat or independent in office we had better learn to play these politics as well as the republicans. So far we are not doing so good. If I were a dem in Congress I would have insisted on a stand alone bill to withdrawal our troops from Iraq. The average American voter would have respected that, and remembered that on voting day. There would have been no room for someone to twist what it is I wanted. The American people don't say get us out of Iraq, but oh, were not that serious unless you also supply each of our neghborhoods with 50 million dollars. They say get us the hell out of Iraq, period. And they don't say oh my, John McCain's people stole some shit off the internet. They say John McCain is for the Iraq war or John McCain is friends with Bush, or John McCain is a Vietnam War hero. I am sick and tired of this administration and its lies and arrogant atitude. I am also getting sick and tired of democrats acting like weasels and agreeing to pin shit on a bill that has no business being there. I am am sick and tired of the dems not learning how to play the game that the republicans know how to play so well (the use of generalized labels and attacks against their opponents while keeping the American public ignorant about details because they know the average Amercian voter could care less about the details when entering that voting machine). And then the dems bitch because they lose an election to the likes of G. Bush. He had the dems number from the get go and the current republicans have the same number. If they had anyone to run with some semblance of decency (not ruined by this administration) they would be kicking democrtic ass right now. Maybe they are, look at the polls comparing dems with Guillani. We did have a recent democratic presdient, for two terms. But that guy knew how to play the game on how the American voter votes. The current dems better take lessons from the boy from Hope, Arkansas or they are dead meat in the future. Screw MySpace page. Screw the 20 billion spending package on the Troop withdrawal Bill. Screw Hannity's outrageous statement the dems are legitmizing defeat in Iraq. We had better get our shit together folks.

The Elucidator — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 18:57:35 GMT

To expound on Geoff Trowbridge's earlier comment: In the sense that the word "hack" connotes "intrusion" (illegal or other), his page was not "hacked". His staff used an image from another site without complying with that site's terms of use, so that site's staff reacted based on the thinking: "if you are going to steal from us, then we are going to exercise our ability to dictate what you steal, hopefully embarassing you, and discouraging you from doing so again." In this light, I think this was a relatively good-natured move on their part, because there are certainly images they could have substituted that would have been much more embarassing than that message. In the sense that the word "hack" means "a clever practical joke", he was indeed hacked, but these shades of meaning are lost on the uninitiated. CNN was more on-target with their use of the word "Punk'd". At least the MTV generation knows what that means. -=-=-=- As for the political side of this discussion, it's hard to figure what you are all on about, because anyone with a nickel worth of smarts should be able to see that McCain is the only living Republican with a mote of credibility outside the enclave. He has lived the nightmare, and he has lived the dream. Relatively speaking, I trust him to lead responsibly.

Hello ALL, This Senator is really out of it, and I am wondering how the people of Arizona had voted for him. He may have been an American hero in the past but now he is a war monger without useful agenda for the country. He supports the war in Iraq in my opinion for one reason only in that oil corporations and the military complex have been making huge profits at the expense of the underlying population. That is, he is a narrow-minded senator. His recent remark is that he can walk in Baghdad freely, a situation reflecting the success of the surge plan. Yet our soldiers are shown on TVs carrying weapons and running around trying to defend themselves from the enemy fire. I remember one time he gve an opinion about the Iraqi war, given he did not know the geography of that country. He was thinking that the Kurds were in the south of Iraq and the Shia were in the north. I am sure now he has realized that he was wrong. It does not surprise me if his priorities are either in a reverse order or contradictory. The calamity is if he runs with Senator Joseph Lieberman and will win the next election. At that point in time, all of us will fight for looting oil everywhere in the world under the pretexts of national security and democract. Many Thanks

They listen to see which way the wind blows- They watch to see how the tide is flowing, and they go with it. Him being a "Maverick" was him trying to bootlick the Dems, while holding his place in Repub ranks.

I think you liberal "pinheads" have a lot to learn about the Iraq war! I have worked with many of the soldiers who have been over to Iraq from all over the USA and they tell me on a regular basis that things are improving. They have told me on many occassions that we should stay there and finish the job and that we should not specify a timetable as to when we will leave. Otherwise, the insurgent terrorist bastards will just wait us out! then all of our soldiers will have died in vain. These are their words not mine so take heed to what they have said!

Worry about the disregard that the liberal faction has to take away parents ability to govern their children. They want the government to be able to decide what will happen with our children...not us, the parents!! What else are they going to do? What next?...We are like lobsters in a pot on a stove.

The Liberals like the fact that all we are talking about is Bush and the war....get over it. Yes, the war is stupid...but don't be fooled by what the democrats are NOT saying!!!! They want what they are doing to fly under the radar. Take a look at some of the bills that are on the desk waiting to be passed.

He reminds me Rush, attacking DEMS and starting every sentence with.."They're at it again folks" and his twisted point of view come out loud and clear. The worst part about that is so many people want to believe his point of view, then go off speaking in tongue to others that believe and tell others to tune in. God help us all.

ANd remember one more thing... If you are truly against the Iraq war, ask yourself why Iran was thrilled to see Dems take over our congress. Ask why they have openly stated they want a Dem to win in 2008. They are our enemies. There is a reason they let the hostages go the day Reagan became president- they feared him. They did not fear Carter, and they fear no Dem today. They actually look at them as allies, and for good reason. Please do not knee-jerk react to this. Do the homework first, please.

We cannot win the war trying to be nice. A fighter does not win the fight by letting his opponent catch his breath. World War Two was not won by being the good guy. If we knock it down, let them re-build it. If they do not want to be treated like POWs, kill them, so they will not be. That is how WWII was won, and what we are going through now is exactly how Viet Nam was lost. How do you make friends with the local Iraqis? Simply put, stop paying them $10.00 per month to rebuild their country, while paying Halliburton workers and the like get paid thousands of dollars per month each. Pay the Iraqis who want to work, bring some of the civilian workers home and let the military do their work as they should. By the way, I am a Christian, Air Force Veteran and chairman of the America First Party organizing committee for South Carolina. I do not like this war either, nor any other, but since it is necessary for us to be there and probably in Iran in the near future, we should fight it to win it. Please do not think the Militant Muslims are going to stop terrorism voluntarily if we pack up and leave. That is not how they think.

McCain would be quite capable of leading this country as is George Bush. I am proud of a president who will not cave under pressure from the near sited. Every one of us has a right to our own opinion, I happen to disagree with many of the previous comments. Terriorists are weapons of mass destruction and they are alive and well - we can fight them over there, or here, I would rather it be elsewhere. I suggest focusing on the terriorist leaders and less attacks on American politicians.

C A, Tuscaloosa, AL: You are absolutely correct about the plight of the Democrats. The Dems are so disorganized, with no message to the average voter. They miss the big picture. Why are they not talking about the war on terror in terms people can understand? Here are some suggested themes for the Dems as 2008 approaches: A) Democrats are against terrorism. Bush's approach to fighting terrorism is a joke. We want to fight terrorism, not build democracy in foreign lands. Let's take the billions we're spending in Iraq and actually start fighting terrorism in places like Afghanistan, Indonesia, and the Middle East. Why did the Current Occupant lead us into Iraq? If we want to fight terrorism, let's do it. What has Iraq got to do with terrorism? Al-Quida only entered Iraq after we invaded and failed to secure the borders. Bush's has completely failed in Iraq. B) We're for fighting terrorists. Bush and the Republicans have failed at this. The commander-in-chief is supposed to enforce the laws of the land. How is Bush doing at that? Well, six years later he still hasn't been effective in finding and punishing the perpetrators of 9/11. Where's Osama bin Laden? Instead of focusing on this, he's lost over 3,000 lives and spent hundreds of billions of dollars fighting a failed war in Iraq. Let's get rid of him and start fighting terrorism. 3) We want someone who can protect us from terrorists, not create hundreds of new ones every day because of his failed foreign policy. Bush's failure to understand the situation has made us less safe as a nation, and the longer it goes on under a Republican administration, the more in danger we become. 4) Bush has so colossally failed in Iraq. Does anyone have any faith that he and the Republicans can handle the quickly deteriorating Iran situation? North Korea? An emerging China?

I see on his website that Tancredo called for Gonzo to resign. So I can agree with him on that. While the precieved national interests of the US and Iran certainly different, they may not be mutally exclusive. Maybe Iran doesn't want a war so close to their borders. If some Iranian politicians said they were glad the democrats took over congress, that does not mean it is NOT in our national interest to end this war. And it appears to me that the Iranians do not fear GW, although I do.

MJB-Utah: My you are angry. I don't support Bush or this war but I don't think that makes me a pin-head. Can you not disagree with people without calling them pin-heads? And then we have Dean from CA stating those on the left are the most vindictive people. And some in here support Hannity who calls people like me traitors because I don't support the war. Hannity could not have held my BAR for me in Vietnam for three tours so I don't want to hear from his foul-mouth. You like Bush and apparently support this war but I won't call you a pin-head because of your opinion. I'll say you have a right to your opinion. I appreciate your speaking to many of the troops and commend you for it. I also appreciated others speaking to me when fighting in Vietnam. And at the time I would have told you, hell no, don't stop this thing because we can kick their ass. I mean what else was I supposed to tell you. I was there fighting and didn't want to have to be shot up or killed for nothing. Plus as a younster I needed to think that what I was doing had purpose. Hell, that's why many join anyway. To have a purpose in life. But that does not mean that what I was doing did have purpose. And later as I matured I realized it did not have purpose. Other than perhaps watching out for the health of my buddies and getting my ass home. If you didn't want others to scream to get these kids home in this poicing action then you should have sent a message to Bush on how to fight a war. Not unlike Vietnam, yes these young military personne want to stay and want purpose to what they atre doing. But by God why didn't this administration give them the all out to kick some ass and win this thing. You couldn't do it in Vietnam and you can't do it in Iraq unless you give these kids them numbers and cut them loose. And I mean cut them loose, no crying over innocents being caught up in the fight, no trials of soldiers for killing insurgents, no mercy. If you can't give them these tools to do what they they were trained to do, what they want to do and that is to win quick, fast and without doubt, then get them the hell out. 130,000 + in a population of millions will not do it. So sorry but Bush is wrong. He has overestiimnated and underestimated throughout this conflict. If he can't get it right then he needs to get the hell out of the way.

With the linked image there is a direct connection between the McCain website and the author's site. As such the connection acknowledges the source, So the thing which allowed this prank also let the source be traced, unfortunately using bandwidth. This is a funny prank on Johnny's amatuer computor nerds, which needs to stay non-bashing to stay funny. Please people, the primary reason McCain did not get the Republican nomination in 2000 was that by simply being a Republican not one of the liberals will vote for him. And the oilmen do not think of McCain as any better than the democrats, because McCain favors many plans to fix the "importing of oil" problem. We need politicians to stop promising to increase benefits while cutting their favorite taxes, and start focusing on real possiblities and not the paper-thin empty promises (of both sides). McCain's Iraq plan was the only plan Congress gave which Bush could accept, which he did (over his political dead body). It would be sad to link McCain to the Bush fiasco. That is like blaming the doctor for your heart attack when he tells you to start exercising. Please with our politics, soldiers, and website property give credit where credit is due and do not bash your political opponets blindly, that is what the Iraqies are doing (except with bullets).

"Come on people now, smile on your brother, everybody get together and try to love one another, right now." This war has got us as divided at Viet Nam. Republicans - just because we want peace and don't want more of our loved ones killed in this war, doesn't mean we're the ones ruining it or that we've made it worse. Just remember how many troops died before we came into power. Democrats - Don't think that we're not guilty of anything ourselves. Remember howmany of our legislative delegates voted for the war in the first place. And just because we have a differant plan to get out of this, doesn't mean it's the right one. What this country needs is a little more cooperation and compromise to get this done. We can argue about our differences later. If name calling, pointing, and accusing the other of being unamerican or uncaring is how you think this will be resolved then our country has gone to pot. Those who take part in this meaningless rhetoric are no better then the government that got us here.

JFM: Don't disagree with you. I'm telling ya. Somebody better keep a very close eye on Iran, North Korea, Russia and China. Right now if they wanted too, they could make it very very diffuclt for us. My motto is shit or get off the pot. Bush has tried to win a war by handcuffing our military with the likes of Rumsfield. Send in a few thousand and we have these suckers beat. That is BS. If you want to be a super-power you had better learn to speak softly but carry a very and I mean very big stick. You want to attack the US or give us heart burn in Iraq, Iran, wherever, prepare and get organized and have that left hook ready and well-primed. When those boys who crashed their helicopters were killed in Somalia and they dragged their bodies throug the streets we should have taken that country down, to the bottom. The Brits should be preparing to do the same with Iran if they don't release their navy personnel. But if you are not willing to WIN a conflict, and I mean win it the Colin Powell style, then stay the hell out of it. Thaty is why I am for pulling our forces out of Iraq. Bush talks tough but he is a whimp. He needs to be removed. And yes, the dems better get some balls. I have been fairly feisty today JFM and if too feisty I apologize. But I am really getting sick and tired of all the name calling, bitching, flip-flopping and crying from both sides, and between both sides while our youngsters take the hits now and then in Iraq.

Punk: excellent. McCain: old. Way old. If ever there was a time that this country needed someone young and open-minded, this is it. With W we got someone who was relatively young and completely close-minded. Hence the current mess. About old. If by some amazing confluence of events McCain was elected, he would be 72 and a half as he took office. Ronald (I was already suffering from Alzheimer's and couldn't remember a thing about Iran-Contra) Reagan was only not quite 70 when he took office. Even the most devout senior citizen lover would have to admit that Reagan was a little old for the day-to-day rigors of being President. Let's get a Constitutional Amendment going that sets an upper limit on being President. I mean, how weird is it that there is a lower limit of 35? Bill Gates certainly did a lot of his best work before he turned 35. Ditto Steve Jobs. Ditto John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Thomas Edison.

Joe Friday, Please do not mis-interpret me. I did not mean to kill POWs. Do not take them as POWs to begin with. We seem to be risking our own soldiers by being sure to be too nice. If we are at war, we must be destructive. We must kill enemy soldiers, agents, incumbents, whatever you wish to call them. Do not kill them as prisoners, do not "arrest" them. Kill them as if you are at war. They are not surrendering; they are being overwhelmed. Instead of going into the buildings where they are, bomb the building. The "innocent" people know enough of what is going on that they can leave a building, thus saving innocent lives. If they insist on staying where the enemy combatants are, then they are responsible for what happens to them. The other option is that the "innocents" help take them out themselves, so our soldiers don't have to. War is not a nice game- We cannot play it nice.

People, please DO check out Tancredo's record. Then you will know what most of us here in Colorado already know-- he's a single-issue xenophobe who will not get re-elected here. His entire term in Congress has been an embarrassment to the Great State of Colorado. He is one big joke, running for President. And for those who do not live in CO, a hint: anyone with a Colorado Springs home address is probably so right-wing they'd make Mussolini look liberal. As for McCain, he truly saddens me. I'm a moderate Republican (fiscal conservative, social liberal) who USED to be a fan of McCain. He evidently doesn't see that he had a better chance of winning by staying out of the pocket of the Republican neo-cons. I will not vote for him now. Wondering why Giuliani is doing so well right now, in spite of his Democratic pro-choice, pro-gun control, pro-gay-rights policies??? He's getting support from the moderate wing of the GOP and lots of Independents, precisely because he isn't part of the neo-con clique. All in all, he's really more of a Dem in Republican clothing, with name recognition. He, too, will be mauled by the neo-con machine, because virtually no one can get the GOP nomination without buying into their Dominionist rhetoric.

Speaking of WAR(s)every one of them was a racket. A few profit, and many pay with their lives. But there is a way to stop it. You can't end it by disarmament conferences. You can't end it by peace parleys at Geneva or the U.N. And well meaning, but impractical groups can't wipe out war by resolutions. Wars can be smached effectively only by taking the profit out of war. The only way to smash this racket is to draft capital and industry and labor before the nation's men and women can be drafted.Let the officers and executives of armament factories and our munitions makers and ship builders and plane builders and the manufacturers of all the other things that provide profit in wartime as well as the bankers and speculators be drafted and be given the same wages as the current men and women in the trenches get. Let all the workers in these plants get the same wages, all the workers, all presidents, all executives, all directors, all bankers and yes, all generals and all admirals and all officers and politicians and government office holders everyone be restricted to a total monthly income not to exceed that paid to our men and women in the military. And let all these kings and tycoons and masters of business and industry, and all our senators and congressman and governors and mayors pay half their salaries to the families of these brave men and women. Why shouldn't they? They aren't running an risk of being killed or of having their bodies mangled or their minds shattered. The aren't sleeping in muddy trenchs and they aren't hungry. The soldiers, sailors, marines are hungry. Give the captains of the industrial war complex 30 days to think it over and you will find by that time, there will be no war. That will smash the war racket, that and nothing else. These are the words of Major General Smedley D. Butler a two time winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor. In 1935 he wrote "War Is A Racket." It's a great read.

The problem with Iraq and the vitriol it produces is due to the fact that we should not even be there. After 9-11, Bush started off right… pursuing Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan where they were hiding out. But then Bush betrayed America and the lives we lost on 9-11 by neutering the fight against Al Qaeda and creating his war of choice, Iraq. We took a country that wasn’t a threat to us and was a hated enemy of Islamic fundamentalists and turned it into a broken haven for terrorists. Thanks to either his ineptitude or flat out evil (or perhaps a blending of both), Americans are much less safe now then we were after 9-11, and Al Qaeda is stronger than ever. As for the whole “fight them over there” argument… that’s what we were doing in Afghanistan. There was no need to throw away over 3000 American (plus countless Iraqi civilian) lives, and this needs to be put to a stop NOW.

The President and the Congress are hired by us to do our bidding or did I miss something when this country was created. If the President wants to direct militrary operations as the Commander and Chief, fine, he has the right to do so. But the American people have the right to determine when and when not they wish to send their sons and daughters to fight and die in a war. It's called the democratic process. And when the American people do agree to send their sons and daughters to fight and die in a war, then the President along with his generals can determine the operations to be used to fight the war. And right now, the America people are saying bring their sons and daughters home.

Yes it's funny, yes his people were called to the carpet as they should have been, but no, it is not a reflection of McCain or his ability to lead this nation.

CA- Funny thing about our military- It's all volunteer. When these people signed up, either we were already involved in the war, or they should have known there is a possibility that our MILITARY just may have to fight a war. When I was in there were scabs who swore they'd go to Canada if we entered the war. When asked why, their reply was that they joined for education, job training and traveling. Same as today. Too many enlisted to feed off the government teat for as long as they wanted, never expecting that the first six to twelve weeks of training was really getting them ready to fight a war. Then when reality set in, they were shocked and appalled. I am sorry we have lost so much as one soldier, but that is their job. We should all ask Congress to stop interfering with them, stop withholding the funds they need, and allow them to do what a soldier is supposed to do- BEAT YOUR ENEMY INTO SUBMISSION.

Someone ranted that that the average American Voter is ignorant and uninformed. I disagree. I think that the average american voter is probably pretty savvy. It's the average American, POTENTIAL-Voter who is usually ignorant and uninformed. Also, further candor was used to proclaim that Republicans are a machine when it comes to manipulating media, over generalizing, and using labels. Agreed. They've done a whopper of a job making EVERYTHING seem black and white to the "average American, POTENTIAL-Voter", regardless of the issue. Republicans are masters at getting uninformed people to believe that THEY(the Republican Party) have those people's best interest in mind. While Democrats spend a lot of time trying to educate people to help them(people,average American Voters) understand the issues and some of the ramifications, Republicans tend to focus more of their energy on getting people to "just be on their side." At the end of the day, election day, it doesn't matter how educated your voters are, if the other team has more people.

Channing - I am a liberal. I volunteered to serve in Vietnam. Those in our current administration had "better things to do," or had friends of Daddy pull some strings to get them into the National Guard. Then I heard about Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers. Our leaders then lied us into Vietnam and now they have lied us into Iraq. Voicing my opinion, I have been called a traitor and an enemy sympathizer. It is particularly galling to hear it from those who have not served our country. Back to McCain. At least he served his country. So he has my respect, but not my vote. I think he is getting what he deserves. Maybe Lynn Chenney will appreciate it!

OK, I admit it, I'm from Arizona, and I voted for Senator John McCain. Before you lambast me, it won't happen again! He once appeared like a statesman, not a politican. Given his POW statis, his willingness to be a political maverick, even independant of his party, it seemed like a good idea at the time. I agree, there must be SOMETHING he desperately wants that the current administration has. What he can't possibly want is the respect of his constituents (to whom he consistently turns a deaf ear). Or our votes in any election...president or reelection to the senate. I am a registered Republican in the beautiful state of Arizona, and I am committed to seeing Senator John McCain retired.

Joe Friday in LA---"Just the Facts" I am talking about John Sydney McCain the 3rd, current Senator from AZ and likely candidate for Pres. His father by the way graduated 423rd out of 441 from the Naval Acadamy. If your reference to "jr" was asking about the current Senator's son(s): John Sydney McCain IV is currently a 20 year-old Midshipman at the Acadamy, let's hope he can graduate better than out of the bottom 5% of his class. Jimmy McCain is an 18 year-old Marine waiting to deploy to Iraq. On the bright side, it doesn't look like the family uses thier political power to get cherry(safe,non-combat)assignments for thier kids like Al Gore's dad and others, at least not until they get back home and wan't jobs that others in thier rank simply would not qualify for.

McCain is a pandering politician just like the rest of them. Once he may have been a "Maverick," standing up against President Bush with the torture ban and going toe-to-toe with the ultra conservative religious right, but he's thrown in with both ever since. Giuliani is almost a shoo-in for the nomination precisely because he is middle of the road. Has anyone ever noticed that the majority of people here in the US are just that: smack dab in the middle? McCain flatly kissing up to the neocons will backfire. Anyone with half a brain will realize that he's just in it to be elected. If he truly cared about his consituents here in Arizona or the American populace as a whole, he wouldn't pander to the far-out right. He would stand up for the little guy, the every day American, the one who doesn't use narrow minded morals that try to limit the freedoms and privacy of Americans.

NOTE TO EDITOR: MSNBC's article has it backwards where it says: "using a free page template without giving credit (that's ALMOST stealing!), and "hotlinking" images from the designer's site, using his bandwidth (that sorta IS stealing!)" ...because hotlinking is 100% legal, whereas using code (if the code was copyrighted in this case...) could possibly be actual theft of intellectual-property. Even if you hotlink WITHOUT someone's permission, that part is STILL 100% legal, never even "sorta" theft. But the action of taking the code without giving credit is more of a grey area, but, for example, if McCain and his workers had to AGREE to give credit as a condition of using the code, then it makes more sense to say it probably "IS" theft. Mr. Olbermann, thanks for once again SORTA misinforming the American public and showing your ignorance of what is legal and illegal. ...YOU MIGHT EVEN "SORTA" GET SUED FOR LIBEL by McCain or others if you continue to falsely claim in public that he or his staff even "sorta" committed theft when they hotlinked and used someone else's bandwidth (as opposed to their use of code w/o giving credit, which could be actual theft, not even just "sorta" theft), because courts have upheld that hotlinking isn't even "sorta" stealing despite what your article claims.

You can talk about McCain and Gore's political lives all you like, but, their military records are honorable. Did McCain's father help him get into Annapolis? Probably, but, he did the rest on his own. Since you cannot seem to find a reason to dislike him politically, and must resort to trashing his service record, I do believe you're a former South Carolina resident.

And for the record, Mike from Newsvine has said his template required the user to give credit, and the McCain site did not comply. As for the "hotlinking", we have not accused Senator McCain of a crime, we have simply pointed out that using someone else's bandwidth without permission "is sorta stealing."

I am tickled that you found such a creative way to say "don't steal my stuff". I tend to agree that Johnny Mac probably was not in the know, but it was done in his name, and if he is the man many think he was, he should laugh at your joke and apologize. With regard to the President, I think it is apparent that he doesn't know what he is doing... He should have listened to Colin Powell and provided more troops from day one. Okay, he made a mistake, but then shouldn't he be held accountable for the lack of sufficent armour for our troops (kinda funny that Rumsfeld rode in a "Rhino" armoured vehicle when he was there... supplied by Haliburton, but we can't afford them for our troops), and then shouldn't he be held accountable for the deplorable care that we have provided for our wounded soldiers. Oh, add on that we would rather wait 7 years for Raytheon to develop a defense to the anti-tank grenade rockets rather than purchase them from Israel. One would think that a real Commander-in-Chief would be as worried about taking care of the soldiers he puts in harms way as he is about lining his friends/supporters pockets. He can't even account for about $12Billion in CASH that was sent over there. How many miscalculations does he have to make before we say... "Gee, maybe we picked the wrong guy?" His lack of ability to change course is not admirable. His continued arrogance is intolerable. If he is accountable as Commander-in-Chief, he either needs to show some ability to work with Congress, or he needs to be fired.

How did Clinton spend his Viet Nam years? Smoking pot at Oxford, going to Russia to protest against US in Viet Nam (Remember the Soviets were supporting North Viet Nam?) and sexually mistreating girls (I am only assuming this one, since leopards can't change their spots.) It's also laughable that the liberals are hating McCain for changing his positions. It was OK for him to change positions as long as he bootlicked the Dems, but now that he finds it more expedient to follow the platform of his own party, you say he's no good. Anyone with any true, unbiased political sense knows his allegiance has always been to himself only. I see Ted Kennedy, divorced and re-married with blood on his hands is still in the Senate after 40 sickening years. Funny how anyone who does lean to the conservative right, especially Chrisrtians, are "neo-cons" or "right wing religious wackos". Does anyone even know what a "neo-con" is, besides another left wing anti-right by-word? OK- I am a Christian, anti-gay, anti-mixed race (but not racist), anti-illegal immigrant (from anywhere), anti-drug, anti-public indoctrination system (My children are homeschooled) and anti-socialst (otherwise known as a liberal or a "progressive".)

In reading all of your blog comments, two things come to mine: (1) Regarding American's being either smart and/or responsible voters please recall that back in November of 2000, about 2,000 people in Palm Beach County could not read and subsequently get their vote placed correctly using a so-called "butter-fly" ballot and that resulted in a Bush victory, a Gore defeat and history made (and) (2) That statistics, related surveys and corresponding facts now indicate that the average American's intelligence level has declined. Anyone that seriously believes a majority of the voting population is either somewhat aware of the issues, does truly understand today's political culture and its corresponding impact on today’s society and/or that most American’s are truly aware of (or) understand the important issues that our country faces (not to mention the surrounding circumstances actually right now before us) is simply not in touch with reality for March 28, 2007.

Mr. Joe Friday-- You must not have read the messeges of mine that I thought you were referencing when you first adressed me. I am no fan of Bush or his use of political connections to engage in draft dodging. If you had read the part where I said that McCain did'nt use family connections to get out of combat (obviously, he was shot down) you might have noticed I was trying to compliment his service record. He did however, get at least two jobs he was not qualified for: studying at the Naval War College and Commander of an air squadron. Niether of these was he qualified for at the time, due to his rank. Although this could be a clearical error at the Navy right? Surely he or his father (the Commander of the Pacific Fleet) tried in vain to correct this burecratic SNAFU, but the red tape was too thick for even these "Mavericks". I never wrote that McCain used his father to get into Annapolis if I made that typo surely it would show up on my screen too. If you think that me mentioning his and his father's class rank is "trashing his service record" than we will have to agree to disagree. I thought that your screen name of "Joe Friday" was a play on the "just the facts" LA cop TV character. Sorry I was mistaken, appearently it is your actual name, you never saw "Dragnet" and....this dialouge is more ironic than I could imagine. As for not being able to find a reason to dislike him politcally, thats definatly not a fact. I have plenty. In particular the anti-1st Ammendment Incumbent Protection Act....er I mean McCain-Feingold bill should be sufficient enough for anyone to dislike him politically. That is anyone who appreciates free political speach. P.S. I hate Karl Rove more than anyone I've ever heard of, so please tell me what this Karl Rove thing is all about. By the way, now that McCain has changed his position on several key issues in the last year or so he sounds a lot like Rove. Seriously, I'm not trying to be nasty, it seems to me that when I hear McCain speak lately he is moving to the Bush/Rove Neo-con CON direction. All the more reason to dislike him politically.

Shame on me for thinking that you were, just as other posters did: In just skimming the posts closest to mine, there is DGR, who claimed that the hotlink of constitutes "intellectual property theft"; screen-name "amazed" who compared it to stealing lumber; and screen-name "jason" who compared it to Receiving Stolen Goods. Yep, you were VERY clear that you weren't inferring a crime and only I -- not screen-name "DGR" or anyone else -- thought that "stealing" is illegal. How silly of us to think "stealing" is a crime... Tell me, if stealing isn't illegal, can I say that I'm writing this to you using my kitchen sink? Oh, "kitchen sink" means computer, I was VERY clear about what I meant by "kitchen sink," was I not?? If you say, "Harold Robb raped me" in your next article, I guess "DGR," the others, and I, should take the word "rape" to mean you meant a legal activity instead of the most common meaning of the word, which is an illegal activity... P.S. Your last reply says "just as we've established the term "hacking" is being used in a non-legal sense" ...but your original article did NOT state that "hacking," "stealing," or any other words were being used in a non-legal sense... but thank you for clarifying that in your last post, even if the original story did not clearly state that, and seems to have misled many posters above besides myself.

If Bush had not listened to Rumsfield but rather Colin Powell he would have known that when you send your troops to win a war and then to occupy the defeated nation until the dust settles and they get their shit together, you send an overwhelming force, and I mean overwhelming in numbers and equipment, and then you cut them loose to do their job once they get off the plane. No hesitation, no worrys about collateral damage, no bringing soliders up on charges for eliminating terrorist or insurgents, no cry baby tactics, and no promise to rebuild their damn nation with your money. And if you can't or are unwilling to fight a war and occupy a defeated enemy like that, full throttle, then stay home and don't put our troops in the middle of the BS they find themselves in now. I guarantee. You send our fighting men and women into a war with no handcuffs on their wrist, those citizens who are inncoent will be turning over those who are not innoocent quicker then you can say jack flash.

One may not agree with me but that is ok. I have right to an opinion and so do others.

If I disagree with those who lean to the the left I will say so. It is just that recently, in my opinion, I have never seen so much hatred expressed towards others by some of your conservative talk show hosts. I know liberal talk show hosts do some of the same, but I am tired of having to defend myself who fought three tours in Vietnam as being a traitor, or that I don't love and support our troops because I disagree with our involvement in Iraq. I am angry with the dems about a lot of things, but I am especailly gulled by those on the right who tell me I am not a patriot. Hell, the majority couldn't hold a stick to those I fought with in Vietnam and most could not have carried my boots for me in that conflict. Don't even suggest I am not a patriot or that I don't support the troops. This President has strongly inferred that. The VP has come right out and said it.

Im sure John McCain sat down and did all that. It was some punk in his support group. Anybody who spent 5 years and COULD have gone home at any time and refused to.. gets a lot of respect from me. He did go a little wacko with the Bushites...and yes should have unscrewed that war a LONG time ago...Maybe its because McCain isnt a quitter that he wants to fix the mess. WE made.

the saddest thing about all the patriots commenting here about their support for the war in Iraq is that they're sincerely doing what they've been told to do since first grade - love America, right or wrong - at the same time that two successive Republican administrations have given our wounded Iraq heroes filthy, vermin-infested hospitals like Walter Reed to come home to. the same politicians who get elected by claiming to "support our troops" did nothing for years when they could have made sure that all the medical care for vets was 100% good. at the same time, President George Bush's daughters, who are of age to serve in Iraq, are on the news going shopping overseas. when are OUR genuine patriots going to realize that the people in power - Bush, Condoleeza, etc - feed on the patriotism of sincere Americans, sending these decent people's sons and daughters to fight and die while sending their own kids to college and shopping trips?

Use your head ....FRED FROM S.C........Iran gave the hostages back to spite Carter..not out of fear for Reagan. The Iranian people are not our enemy...its the HARD LINE MUSLIM GOVERNMENT. In fact there was a very recent nationaly broadcast story that supports that! Do some due dill before making an a$$ of yourself. All of the major news agency's including fox, nbc, abc, and cbs are run by old REPUBLICAN money. The news we get here is filtered and slanted to the right. Check out airamerica.com....now its not 100% accurate either,(slanted to the left), but at least it provides the other side. Its not the total truth, but its clearly more accurate than what the major networks are reporting. Lastly, if you like what BUSH IS DOING, THEN YOU LIKE TO BE LIED TO....CLEARLY....EVEN THE HARDEST REPUBLICANS HAVE A HARD TIME BACKING THIS BUFFOON. The mark of a great leader is not determined simply by his or her abilaty to lead, but in the GATHERING OF COMPETENT PERSONEL TO SURROUND his or herself with. BUSH HAS SURROUNDED HIMSELF WITH LIERS, CHEATS AND THIEVES, AND THEY ARE RAPING THIS GREAT COUNTRY WE CALL AMERICA. I see a problem in going to WAR ON A LIE! I see a problem with prefered contract status with our defence contractors. I see a problem with Scooter LIBBY LYING UNDER OATH. I see a reason for iran to hate us when we call them the AXIS OF EVIL?!?....What do you expect?...LOVE?....The Iranians want to establish diplomatic relations with us, but our BUSH run government will not negotiate with them. They believe the Dems will. If they wanna build weapons of mass destruction, who are we to say they cant? I dont really want them to have nukes, but hey, we as Americans have nukes to defend our country, so why cant they? If its good for the goose, its good for the gander. Are we as Americans an EMPIRE, that controls other people's and governments? Or are we a INDEPENDANT nation who's worried about our own. We are not the United States of the World, but of AMERICA. Did you ever think of cause and reaction? BUSH will go down as the most corrupt prez ever...dwarfing what NIXON did. His foriegn policy is a joke. He last week accused the DEMS of A "SHOW TRAIL". What a grade A-1 A$$hole thing to say. Do you know what a "show trial" is? If you dont, READ your history books concerning Russia. Oh, and lastly, it doesnt go unnoticed that Iran sits directly below the WORLDS LARGEST REMAINING OIL FIELD. So when you wanna run your mouth about something you dont know anything about, my suggestion: DO YOUR FRIGGEN HOMEWORK! AT LEAST YOU WONT BE AS IGNORANT AS OUR PREZ!!!...(IF YOU CAN READ)

Dawling, you're probably too young to recall that Nixon announced a planned withdrawl from Vietnam, and, guess what? The world didn't come to an end,and neither did we fight the VC on our own soil. Vietnam is now a burgeoning capitalist economy, and jr is courting them as a trade partner. So, you see, historically, there is no basis for you and those of your ilk to claim that an announced plan withdrawl from Vietnam, er, Iraq, would be the end of the world, as we know it.

As a democrat who not only voted for bush but would do so again in a heartbeat, I am amazed at the sheer idiocy i have seen on this page and equally amazed at how anyone in the world much less this great nation could even think that leaving iraq could ever be a good idea. As a former soldier i must have a greater knowledge of what an enemy of the united states is willing to do to see us destroyed. Has anyone here even read the Koran??? If you had you would know there is NO CHANCE this will ever stop unless we are the ones to put a stop to it. Now the democratic party and their cut and run policy should all be sent to iraqand let them join their terrorist allies for that is surely what they are treating our troops with as little respect as they do they dont want a victory in iraq that would mean a victory for the republicans and whats worse a victory for Honorable President Bush of whom maybe you should do a little more research on before you go bashing.

Haven't read the whole blog, but have a few comments. My very liberal Dem. spouse would have voted for McCain in 2000 . I like Tancredo, but think Ron Paul meets the criteria of not voting for the war, standing for the Constitution, not taking funds from big business, and I'll have to check on the one wife thing, but I think he is a family man. About Neo-con, a good look at them and they seem to be mostly Jewish with support from certain Christan groups and heavily support Israel, which may be related to the Anti-American sentiment of so many Islamic groups. Interesting that Bush come out at at first against the Wall around Jerusalem and then backed off.

If you people truly believed in getting out of Iraq then you'd get them out tomorrow, and if you did that I would say any soldier who was killed after the order is given is on your hands. It isn't so easy as to say "either we stay in Iraq or we don't". Go blow up your neighbor’s house and then say "oops" and walk away. You know what you just created? You created a terrorist. Someone who isn't afraid to die and will teach their children what you did and teach them even more hatred. I won't argue about whether we should've gone into Iraq or not. We shouldn't have but that point is a mute point since the decision was already made. I'm also sick of people yelling "Oh we lost 3,000 lives" in 4 years. This is the least amount of casualties we've ever had in a war. And if you want to withdraw the troops I want you personally tell those families exactly what their son/daughter died for. War is hell. Let's start treating it that way and stop with the show, and actually play to win. You know what changed war and doomed Vietnam? The media.

The war in Iraq is unwinnable, so what's the point of keeping our soldiers there? It's true we may make progress (in 2 weeks, months or years who knows) by forcing the radical groups into hiding until we leave, but we can never pacify people who are fighting along historical lines that we will never be able to change. It's impossible to win a war when you're fighting the same people you want on your side. Instead of trying to 'win a war', why don't we close Guantanamo, quit bombing, stop invading innocent civilians' homes, and try to gain some respect back from the Muslim community in the M.E. Let them have their lives back...it may seem a little backwards or opressive to us, but Western culture is opressive to their culture and religion.

Bush may have been an ass to get us there..but he has been trying to do as much as possible to give them boys over there the equiptment to do the job they were sent to do all the while buckin' those in congress that oppose his support to the troops.

There is a real winner there. I agree with everyone who mentioned the facts of the dems bill for troop withdrawl.

I support the war, is there a better way it could have been handled sure but there is also a better way to pick your nose, brush your teeth and wipe your butt. There is always a b etter way. I support it so much that I am about to join the military myself. All my family has been in the military and I am proud to follow suit. The most important thing to remember is that Bush and Mccain aren't the only ones doing wrong. The Dems are doing more than there fair share also. There is a system that works at protecting takes in israel but instead i wanna make sure my NEw England clam chowder stays fresh so lets wait and pay an American contractor to have the system built over seas.

Hannity is a Great American. This is coming from a person who is not a bible thumper, actually has friends who are gay, works 40 hours a week, and used to be a Democrat until the likes of Kennedy, Pelosi, Ried, and H. Clinton decided to give in to the power trip instead of looking out for us. I cannot believe that the memory of the towers falling has left the collective Democratic mindset. Wake up and embrace the reality that Muslim extremists want you and your children DEAD. Mr. Bush has not always acted in a way that I always support, but the one constant is that he is going after our enemies in the Middle East. He acted on information that the Clinton's also believed prior to Bush entering office. It is simply partisan that the Democrats have conveniently forgotten that little fact. I say go at them Mr. Bush and keep them away from harming my family. It does not matter whether it is Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Palestine, or Iran. The extremist Muslim killers will strike from any safe haven. Each of these countries are safe havens. The Democratic party better learn from the lesson of 9/11, before they try to gut our Country's efforts to protect it's people.

What Mike Davidson did was perfect! Hotlinking is wholesale theft, in that you "sneak in" once, and once you know where, you can essentially "steal without looking" from then on. Actually what they were doing is infuriating, and when a high volume site does it, can even be expensive. They steal your work, and you get the bill.(and we KNOW most politicians are capable of little else.) Faced with someone stealing his apples without even looking, all he did was mix a few road apples in, and the thief did the rest to himself. To the wider question; John McCain doesn't have time to be President. Spending his time scurrying from side to side of (any) issue, to stay in front of the TV cameras is more than anyone can handle. After 22 years I quit the Republican party when they threw away the Constitution. The Democrats, too busy posturing for 2008 to fix the ruin made of our freedoms, have proven squandered the chance they were given in 2006.

Did you all go to sleep after 2:01 AM? What are we? Are we Americans or Human beings? Just because we were lucky enough to be born in America and indoctrinated into the entire American Way of Life, does that abdicate our responsibility to our species? Believe me when I tell you that there is NO Homo sapiens Iraquis and No Homo sapiens Americus and no Homo sapiens Iranis or Homo sapiens Russianus etc. ad nauseum - there is just Homo sapiens. Christians? Aren't Christians supposed to believe in the Golden Rule? You know - Do Unto Others as you would have them do unto you? Exactly what do you conservatives mean when you claim to be a Christian out of one side of your mouth and say "Wipe out the Iraquis" out of the other side. If you are a Christian, aren't you supposed to follow the teachings of Christ whether or not Christ himself was "The Son of God" or merely an Avatar/Guru/Prophet/Very Good Man? Would any of you "Christians" imagine Jesus calling for wiping out as many Iraquis as it takes in order to enforce The American Way of Life? I may be wrong, but to my limited knowledge, America isn't mentioned in either the Old or New Testament of the Bible. It IS sort of referred to in The Book of Mormon. Oh, are you fundamentalist Christians now claiming to be Mormons? Many of you say call a Spade a Spade. OK I'm calling a Hypocrit a Hypocrit and it is extremely hypocritical to testify as you have to the justness of any war and claim to be a Christian. You do not really hold up Bush and Cheney as Christians either do you? Oh yes, if we are for saving lives, you know LIFE - God's greatest gift other than Free Will, we are traitors! I ask you, traitors to whom? America? What is America? Hannity is trying to tear down the words of Benjamin Franklin. Benjamin Franklin - you know that bleeding heart liberal who was the main force behind our Constitution and Bill of Rights - you know the heart and soul of what America is supposed to be? Benjamin Franklin who said that any People who are Willing to Give Up Essential liberties in the Interests of Temporary Security deserve Neither, is being held up by these conservatives as an object of ridicule? You Conservative Christians and other conservatives are buying into this a little at a time and the Liberals are arguing over trivialities and ignoring the fact that forces with no conscience are stripping away the 'meaning" of humanity and the essential freedoms guaranteed to us by our constitution! Abraham Lincoln has also been attacked by the Hannityites as a liberal (read the Emancipation Proclamation). Well, guess what? There is absolutely no Biological Justification for racial distinctions! Also again, there is no Biblical Racial Distinction made either, at least not in the Christian Bible! The Old Testament was history but history that was amended by Christian belief, most especially the Golden Rule! If you believe that there are such distinctions made, you are of a New Religion and Christian is no part of it! Perhaps we can call it Wrongheadism. What you do not see is that conflict has been encouraged and aided by the Military Industrial Complex. It is they who have grown so powerful that they actually are no longer hiding the fact that they manipulate every aspect of international public opinion in order to keep wars going! Certainly an early end to any conflict is not in the Interests of the MIC so let's mold public opinion in directions which will keep the conflicts hot and fulminant! I don't know if most of you who champion any conflict are astute enough to understand that you are in the pockets of the MIC but I hope that you will at least consider the possibility that you are being "spun" into taking a position for hatred and destruction rather than in support of the Golden Rule! Traitors to America, you have been convinced to call us? How much more damning is the label "Traitors To Humanity?"

This is all very interesting to me. I see a lot of truth in some of your comments and mere whining in the others. I can't help but wonder how a myspace page turned into an all out war of words regarding the two parties. Much less how we're talking about the war. For you that say yes sign the bill we should (I did write we,I am a soldier and as I type this I'm in my room in Iraq) be sent home right away I thank you but... The but comes because it's just not that simple. We are still in Saudi Arabia, still in Somilia, still in Kosovo, still in Russia and still in Germany. Every time we go in a country we set up bases. Then we have something called the Geneva Convention that governs our actions in war. We are held liable by the United Nations if we go outside of this (they were upset we chose to go to war in the first place though, they told the U.S. to wait). We have to set the country back on it's feet before we leave and in some cases we stay because it gives us a leg up on our own agenda. To up and leave now would mean that more of us will get extended (the divorce, suicide and homicide rates for the military are up) and will miss out on more time at home and we'll continue to be hardened by this war. In the last two weeks (a little less than two really) my brigade has lost five soliders. We have seen death on every hand but if you tell one of our guys pull back let's go home you may not hear the cries for retreat that our comfortable congress are screaming. We all chose to be here. We were given a mission. We see innocence lost daily, but how can you say go do this (wrong or right) and we pour our hearts and souls into it and then say stop. For the troops that gave it all for what they believed would help someone else it's hard to say up and leave to his fellow soldier. Now don't get me wrong I want to go home. This is my second tour in as many years. I got almost 7 months at home before I was redeployed. I just know that it takes more than a couple of months to pack up,draw back and come home. We will see many more deaths. Many more. If we pull back the Iraqi fighters will surely kill many more of our troops. We have to have an exit strategy. If we pull back from the Serbian or Iranian borders we open it for a flood fighters to swarm this couontry and our blood will spill the more. What then? Is anyone ready for that? Out of everyone that's calling for us to come home does anyone have a plan that will get us out without a forth or more of us being killed? I am slotted to return to Iraq in 2008. I hear people say others are unamerican if they say end the war and we should come home. I want you to know that America is one of a few couuntries where the people have the freedom to say that and not be arrested. I ask that you all stop bashing people for their beliefs and opinions. That is why I fight. As I end my rant before I go to sleep I want to ask you all a question or seven. If we do come home now are our borders safer? Do we know who we've let in the U.S.? Why are we letting thousands of Iraqi refugees into our country that are fleeing Iraq? Do we know who these people really are? If we leave will we give way for other countries to attack us when we're down? Are we really safer in America for having fought this war or not? Will we be safer if we continue the fight until Iraq is "calm"? chose to disagree with me and I will not mind. I fight so you can disagree and not me killed for it.

I have read several comments pros and cons. Some have no bearing on the subject want so ever. I am an American first and foremost. I love this country. I have visited several countries while in the Army and in the Navy, some friendly, some hostile. This is still one of the greatest. I would be willing to say that most of the people bashing the current administration have never been in military service. Military service now is all volunteer, no draft which is probably why most rich folks and upper middle class kids don't have to go. Their parents can afford them an education. Most kids that join, join for the benefits, meager as they are. We are not brainwashed, but all of us are patriots. We all have love of country. We all are willing to give our lives for our buddies or our country. It's not something we want to do. It's something that is done on the spur of the moment to save someone else. Sometimes it's better than coming back in pieces. There were no WMD by the time we invaded Iraq. How much time did Irag have to move them across the border? The media was all over the story that we were going to invade which gave them ample time to move everything. They found fighters buried in the desert. What else is out there? The media showed 9/11 but they didn't show muslim neighborhoods right hear in the USA standing up and cheering. Why? How many good candidates have we had to choose from? We need more than just two.

SDE-Baghdad: Your service is commendable and we honor you for this. A wise person once said that war cannot be defined by the political agenda or by the strategy of war, but rather it is defined by those individuals who take part in the war. So I have read your comments very carefully and with respect. And many appreciate your comments (especially coming from you) that you fight to protect freedom of speech and differences of opinion here at home. You are one of our proud soliders who will not call those opposing this war traitors or unpatriotic. Thank you. It is tough SDE. Many wish to respect your wishes and those of your comrades because it is you who are fighting this war. They want to say let the soldier's decide if and when they come home and when it is the right time. Let thme finsih the job for themselves and their fallen comrades. As a vietnam vet with three tours I too struggle with this SDE. If I had my way I would send over the troops you needed and equipment and cut you loose to do your job, full throttle, no handcuffs, no holding back. And if that means an overwhelming force then so be it. On the other hand I don't want to see any more of you lose your lives or limbs over a situation that cannot possibly be anything but a victory for you. And I am not so sure this country and its government is prepared to see this thing to an end which would take many more military personnel, many more years of occupation, and many more American deaths. I know what you are going through. I too fought an enemy that could easily fade into the general population making it difficult to know who was around the corner, friend or foe. It is tough, the worse kind of fighting asked of soldiers as yourself. Any many in America are having difficulty asking you and your comrades to fight such a war. I don't know SDE. Perhaps we should just leave it up to all of you guys. Not the politicians, thje generals, etc. But you guys doing the fighting. And if you have a consesnus to want to stay and fight and occupy Iraq until it one day can stabalize itself, well, then perhaps we ought to just tell you to have at it with all our support. It was hard for me to say that but it is my way of telling you and your buddies that we are with you and support you, even those who are opposed to our continued involvement in this conflict.

SDE from Baghdad. You are a good man and I salute you. You seem to believe in Duty and Honor and all of those soldierly things. Will OUR borders be safer if you come home? Our borders will probably not be any safer nor will they be any less safe. They will be what they have always been, a target for some and a haven for others, but if you get home - YOU will be safer. That is what a lot of people desire. Should we place restrictions on our freedom to feel safer? I have already mentioned Benjamin Franklin's take on that and I agree. One of the responsibilities which we must accept if we are to maintain FREEDOM is that we will be targeted as long as our government officials are corrupt and self serving and concerned with material gain for themselves. We get the government we deserve and YOUR time and that of your fellows would be perhaps better spent by being here to let those who are without conscience know that eventually they will not be allowed to ride on the backs of those who truly believe a Free America means an example for the rest of humanity only if we stop dealing from the bottom of the deck and show them that our Freedom is a Good Thing and that we believe in it. Why should we say that soldiers should die for freedom outside of our country when the way to really make a difference is to KNOW that though freedom carries a price tag of vulnerability to those of no conscience, EVERY CITIZEN CONSIDERS THAT PRICE WORTH PAYING! THAT is the way to show the rest of the world that being free is worth while! Essentially, right now, the rest of the world hardly sees a nickles worth of difference between us and them except that we have bigger guns and are willing to TAKE what we want because we think we deserve it. We will never win the war of ideas unless we show by example that we really do deserve it and give them hope that we want to bring them along in the uplifting of our standard of living and our acceptance that all HUMANITY deserves the same chances of feeling good about themselves. Down with the MIC! Up with humanity!

I feel compelled to respond to a variety of the posters, but I don't want to name anyone because my comments are general. First of all, anyone can make a mistake because everyone is human. To crucify one person because they are a politician or celebrity is silly, because each and every one of us can make the same mistake at any point in our daily lives. Second, those of you attacking Christianity - being a Christian does not make me or anyone else "better" than someone who is not a Christian. Our faith, among other things, is a way of us saying that we are sinners, we make mistakes - sometimes horrible mistakes - and we need forgiveness. Being a Christian does not mean we will not make mistakes and it does not mean that we no longer have vengeful human feelings. And saying that one cannot be Christian and support the war in Iraq is just ridiculous. Wars abound on earth, and they have since biblical times. Read portions of the bible and you will see the stories of wars and plague. Today is no different, simply because the wars are now fought with different technology. Since World War Two, the United States has been the policeman of the world. Whether you support this idea or not, it is the truth. When problems have arisen in the world, we answer. And because we are willing to answer as many problems as we can, we become stretched. Other countries are not willing to do the dirty work that we are willing to do. It is not "the American way of Life" that we are protecting - it is our families, friends, and neighbors (near or far) that we are trying to preserve. I don't want to get into a political debate over who is right - Republican, Democrat, Green, Orange, Purple, etc - because no one has got it completely right yet. There is never going to be a political figure who gets 100% of the vote, therefore there is never going to be a president who has the full and complete support of his country. Tough. Each president has had to do their best with the situation presented to them. World War 1, World War 2, Cuba, Vietnam, Korea - war is never going to make for a popular president during his term of office. It is only later, looking back in history, that the pros and cons can truly be weighed objectively. I, too, have spoken to many soldiers who believe that we need to stay until the job is done - whether it be 2 months or 5 years longer. I agree that setting a date is like setting a date for execution - militants and terrorists will be waiting for that day so that they can attack when our numbers are low. I believe we would see a slaughter of our soliders, not to mention the innocent civilians in Iraq. I have not chosen "my candidate" for President at this point. I believe the true colors of the candidates are likely to come out as the fringe contenders are eliminated. When we are down to 2-4 candidates, then we might see what kinds of people each one is - or at least, closer to their true nature. Congress should consult soldiers in Iraq before drafting such a bill. A politician sitting in their cushy chair sipping iced tea and contemplating how to make more money is not an objective observer, or even an informed observer. Mark Twain once said that the three kinds of lies are "lies, damn lies, and statistics." You can make the data say whatever you want if you tweak it the right way, so that politicians reading it and making the decisions will see a certain outcome or result. Make the politicians actually consult with the people who are there, who see it every day - and THEN draft your bill. And I agree with whoever said not to tack it onto a bill it has no business being on - that's really asinine..

McCAin has no b---s. He let bush and rove crap all over him in the 2000 race. Instead of standing up to the political machine that maligned him, he carries their water.
He is unfit to serve as President. I used to respect the guy, but he has turned out to be nothing but an empty suit

Dumb, da dum....Dumb, da dumb, da, dumb. No response for the good Constable. Looks like it's easier for you to ignore someome, then to appologize, Officer. However it is a bit silly to try to put words in someone's mouth when there is a transcript of thier words visable by mearly scrolling up(by the way: I wasn't the only one you did this to). Friendly advice: Read the comments people made, before geeting so bent out of shape and accusing them of saying things they did not say. By the way McCain and Rove are really sounding more and more alike by the hour, how could someone like one and not the other? As for me I dislike any enemy of freedom, in particular the very similar Authoritarians: McCain and Rove.

"The Manchurian Candidate"? Any notice the parallels of this classic movie (I havn't seen the re-make) and this guy? Is'nt it stange that his pet cause is a fundamentally Marxist (don't get defensive "maverick" lovers, the English language simply does not contain a more accurate term) method of political campaign finance. It only takes deductive reasoning to see that they got into his head during his stay at the Hilton.

Don't Trust The Media, MT — Thu, 29 Mar 2007 23:49:21 GMT

Joe Friday, Los Angeles, California: First, I said the media changed Vietnam because for the first time it put the war in people's living rooms. Think of what we did in WWII vs. Korea and Vietnam. I believe (hey just my opinion) that how wars are fought have changed when there is a guy/girl standing there with a camera. It creates two fronts: the enemy and everyone else watching. This war is no different except we have the internet and we can find out exactly when something happens (good or bad). As for the 3,000 comment I wasn’t disrespecting the soldiers or their families. I was just saying IN TERMS OF WAR 3,000 is a lot better than what we have done in the past. I know people who have went over there and I know one that didn't make it home (He was 19). EVERY person in the Armed Forces has my respect. "The Military doesn't start wars, Politicians do." With that said when we have bills that try to restrict the funding in Iraq it pisses me off. If they are going to be over there (which right now they are and we are sending more over) we shouldn't be restricting their funds. We should do the opposite. You need body armor? Here you go. You need reinforced Humvees? Done. I also said we shouldn't have gone there. I don't dispute that fact. I just said why do people bring that up because we are past that. We are there. IF we are going to pull out they better do a closed vote and not tell the media until they have already started bringing the troops out. The only problem is that they can't do a quick retreat (yes it would be a retreat) because we want to make sure we take everything with us. By doing that, unfortunately the insurgents will be coming out in full force. Lastly, everyone needs to stop this Pro-Bush vs Anti-Bush or pulling out vs staying there. I'd love to actually hear people give out ideas on how we can either A. pull out while not pissing everyone off or B. stay there and finish the war. So I'll go first. You know what I want? I'd love for Bush to go to Iraq and talk to all the different sides and he couldn't leave until after they had some sort of agreement to end the war. With suicide bombers, IED's, and RPG's (you know all the stuff the soldiers see every day but no one higher up does) going off all over the place, and his own life in danger, maybe we'd get serious about trying to end the war. There my rant is done.

I am against the war, but you can't b*tch about the troops not having enough armour..etc. and then cut thier funds. I am almost always for cutting government spending, but never for cutting off our soldiers while they are in combat. That is a horrible way to go about opposing the war.

o.k. funny. i just read the terms of being posted "we will only approve comments...not attacking comments of others" yet I saw plenty of that going on. All I wanted to say was that what Mike did was GREAT. It made me laugh, and it was an essentially harmless lesson in "netiquette". Justice is rarely this beautiful. And, a sense of humor is so important, and sadly lacking in this blog.

I don't like it when people link against my site, either. It's potentially unsafe (I could update my site, and then your site would not have the content you expected), and it exhausts my own bandwidth. If you like my design, then contact me, and maybe I can help you set up your own server, or at least give you permission to copy the content. Whoever wrote McCain's website sound like a wannabe phisher, who spent a little too much time in AOL's Tech Chat room, learning pointers from those who do not design websites professionally. No harm, no foul, as I see it. A lesson learned. Next time, McCain should hire PROFESSIONAL programmers, and verify their credentials. I mean, what's next? Using a dart board and a phone book to choose cabinet members?

After a heavily guarded trip to a Baghdad market, Sen. John McCain insisted Sunday that a U.S.-Iraqi security crackdown in the capital was working and said Americans lacked a "full picture" of the progress. The U.S. military later reported six soldiers were killed in roadside bombings southwest of Baghdad. Four soldiers were killed responding to the blast that killed the first two, the military said. Britain, meanwhile, announced that one of its soldiers had been shot to death in southern Its 104th combat casualty since the war started four years ago. McCain, a Republican presidential hopeful who was a prisoner of war in Vietnam, acknowledged a difficult task lies ahead in Iraq, but criticized the media for not giving Americans enough information about the recent drop in execution-style sectarian killings, the establishment of security posts throughout the city and Sunni tribal efforts against al-Qaida in the western Anbar province. "These and other indicators are reason for cautious, very cautious optimism about the effects of the new strategy," said McCain, who was leading a Republican congressional delegation to Iraq that included Sen. Lindsey Graham

SDE Baghdad, Iraq — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 04:15:28 GMT

After commenting once I thought I'd see where the chat had ended up after I had hit submitand closed the page. I would like to let you all know if anyone reads this (blog is a couple days old) McCain is sad. If you read the article about him being in Baghdad you may get some of the key points I'd like to make. He said he landed at the airport and was giving a speech soon after he said he landed. The speech should have come after the relaxing drive through Baghdad. At least that what I was thinking. He went from BIAP (Baghdad International Airport) to the Green Zone. A convoy for soldiers takes about 20-30 minutes. They say his convoy was heavily guarded. He say's he stopped in town and talked with the Iraqis on the streets by a market. Okay, my gripe comes because I understand he's a senator and he is in the race for the white house, but he had more protection than soldiers convoying everyday. He had air cover and the convoy was heavily guarded, something most of our convoys lack. Don't get me wrong we have protection but what he had was nothing like what we have. I want to believe that the area was surveyed from above for hours before he even landed. It's sad he got such special treatment. Oh well, what can you do... We're only the ones fighting the war, why should we get the best. Next if any of you get a momment search the net for the Stars and Stripes mid eastern edition. The headlines don't seem to paint the same peaceful picture he has painted. Everytime we open a paper here it reads of another American death. (Again, this is the paper that we get in Iraq/Kuwait). Somewhere twisted in the article of causalties you'll read about the secterain violence that McCain says is down. Trust and believe it's still going on. I'm not exactly sure where McCain gets his facts from. We can't discuss the mission but this is just outlandish. Simply false. I am upset that he's pushing his own agenda at this point. Being one of the loudest supporters of the surge I guess he feels he has to paint it as pretty. (My apologies, pretty popped into my head and I went with it). It's sad, he's doing all of this just to get some attention. Bad publicity is still publicity. I have a real agenda in Iraq. We're sitting here still fighting waiting on congress to see if those of us due to leave early summer are going to get to leave or not. If the presidents vetos then we'll be here until the issue gets worked out because there wouldn't be enough money to send relief. We may get exended, we are prepared. I'll continue to pray for all of this. I ask any and everyone that has it in there heart to do so to pray for the soldiers, there families and the government that leads us.
