If you continue to demand retribution against other Americans, you become a dead weight, those willing to fight today have to drag around.

Well said.

Uw,
I am only angry at incometence and those who seek to sweep that incompetence under the rug with neat slogans like "shit happens", "Plan B., et. And to your statement:
" if we can get Americans like you to get angry at someone besides other Americans it will be an easy run from here. If you continue to demand retribution against other Americans, you become a dead weight, those willing to fight today have to drag around."
So because i criticise americans who have failed over time, i am not patriotic anymore. I am "dead weight". I though i heard bin laden say something akin to that regarding arab leaders and folks who work with us. In any case Mike in your world, where everyone is to shut up but you, where everyone spouts propaganda that ignores any failures in leadership and policy, where anyone who dissents is labeled as hurting our effort, i would remind you how many americans died unnecessarily in vietnam in a losing cause because the government was less than honest about the facts. BE dishones and lose. Be honest and fix the problem and maybe win. You were in one losing effort and with this attitude you will sure to be in another. Just dismiss zinni, schwartzkopf, shinseki, skowcrft, powell, armitage. Dont even listen to an alternate views from men who have served. Mike
