I did not send anyone anywhere.

If you supported the war, you sent them there. Simple as that. Don't go around blaming some faceless bureaucrat for it.

...heinous despots who have declared their intent to destroy America

In this case, the said despot couldn't even do anything to the Kurds in his own backyard over the last 10 years, let alone destroy America...

Very good analysis. In fact you illustrated clearly that.
"The point is you sent US soldiers to die there for no particular reason." #reply-19203122 from Dipy is a compelling idiot identification event cue.

JotW,

Re: heinous despots who have declared their intent to destroy America, and who are torturing, murdering, and oppressing people by the hundreds of thousands

The only heinous despots I see attempting to destroy America are the crackpot revolutionary right wingers who infest the American Enterprise Institute, the Project for a New American Century, the White House and the Department of Death.

No one else has the power to destroy America quite like this cabal is going about it. They are bankrupting the nation, and creating enemies across the planet.

And yes, when you look at the death camps at Guantanemo Bay, in Iraq and elsewhere, they are engaged in torturing, murdering and oppressing people by the millions.

DAYAMMMM, Mr. O'West.

Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? Or this week?

I thought you adpoted Buddhist or some 'peaceful style' such 'spiritual' affiliation that you proclaimed a few years ago here that 'calmed you' and 'made you a better person.' When you changed your SI alias.

Now you're proclaiming that "death is great for America?"

LOL.

Have you run out of money?

Dear Mr. O' West:

As you seem to believe that death should be not feared by the US military volunteer armed forces, perhaps you might comment about what the injured might have to say about such "dire matters" as their own inevitable "call to Jesus." Or whomever YOU find solace in your individualistic 'spiritual commutations' regarding death.

Sick Veteran Fights for Medical
Treatment

WASHINGTON (AP) - After Army Sgt. Vannessa Turner survived
a still-unknown illness doctors feared would kill her, she thought
her toughest battle was over.

But since a military flight brought Turner home she says she's
had to fight to get medical treatment and can't even get personal
items returned.

The homefront, she's finding, can be as daunting as the front
lines in Iraq.

``It's easier to stay a soldier and be in harm's way than to come
home and get care,'' said Turner, her quiet voice quaking with
emotion.

Arriving at her mother's home in Boston's Roxbury neighborhood
last month after hospital stays in Germany and Washington, the
six-year Army veteran says she was told that despite severe
nerve damage in her right leg she'd have to wait until
mid-October to see a doctor at the local Veterans Affairs
hospital.
