LOL! That is so convoluted and bizarre I won't even bother to point out the fallacies.

Who is "they"? The same "they" that said Marcellus Wallace threw a guy out a window for massaging his wife's feet, or a different "they"?

Can I ask you another question? What formal education do you have?

President Bush's number one and two military men, Don Rumsfeld and General Tommy Franks, are more than capable...President Bush is not micro managing the war like the Democrats would attempt to do...if Kerry were president right now...we would BE in another VietNam...oh...unless his cousin needed to sign some big contracts then he would quickly normalize relations...

Essay Question #1

You may have noticed that the talking heads on Fox, CNN, NBC, CBS, and ABC have recently referred to the people involved in this war as "we". "We" hit [a target], "we" moved to [a location], "we" took enemy hits, etc. "We" have breaking news about "our" [whatever]. They appear to be referring to the military when they say this, while grouping themselves with the military; and in a broader sense, grouping themselves in with what might be termed "the winning side".

Up until this war started, the talking heads on the same networks referred to the administration as "the Bush administration" instead of "the United States" or "we".

Discuss the reasons for this change in wordage about the Commander in Chief of the United States of America and the people he is serving, paying particular attention to any possible preconceived motives by the talking heads and their network superiors.

Ever hear of Tom Ridge?
How about Norm Maneta?
Anthony Principi?

All combat veterans, all in the Cabinet, and all braver and tougher than sissy boy Kerry.

Perhaps you'd like to compare the military service of the last Dem president's cabinet to that of Bush's?

Here's the current cabinet:
George Bush, President, CIC, Aviator, Fighter Pilot - Air National Guard, six years
Don Rumsfeld, Naval Aviator 1954-57, Sec of Defense 1975-77, Pres Medal of Freedom 1977
Colin Powell, Army 4-star general 35 years, Chairman Joint Chiefs, 7 medals
Norm Mineta, Sec of Trans, Army 1953-56 Intel Officer
Tommy Thompson, HHS, Army Reserve, National Guard
Anthony Principi, Veterans Affairs, Naval commander, Vietnam combat vet, medals
Dick Cheney, Sec of Defense, Op Desert Storm, Op Just Cause, Pres Medal of Freedom
Andy Card, Chief of Staff, US Merchant Marine
Tom Ridge, Homeland Security, Army, Vietnam combat vet, Bronze Medal for Valor
Robert Zoellick, Trade Representative, Naval Academy
Condoleezza Rice, NSA, National Security Council, International command
