Ted, No, what's getting very old is "bring 'em on". Words are words, but our very existence in Iraq is saying "Bring it on." Nothing new about that. Even after Bush regrets using those words, you still don't get why? Words are more than words; they convey attitude. "Bring 'em on" suggests a superiority and an arrogance that is offensive. It would have been bad enough had he said it simply to Americans but he said it to the world. I'm just getting tired of those who think my opinion shouldn't matter because I don't have a kid in Iraq. That may be part of the message they are trying to convey but the more important part of the message is that you might not think the way you do now if you had kids fighting over in Iraq. Like I said before, most people who served in the military support Bush when it comes to Iraq. All the left wants to focus on are the Cindy Sheehans and the Michael Bergs of this nation. We have enough anecdotal evidence to suggest that not more than half the military supports the war in Iraq. And I suspect that's even less true of their parents. Too often, the guys fighting over in Iraq have been snookered into believing that the Iraqi war is the frontline of the war on terror and its better to fight them over there than here. Given who they are, they are more susceptible to the proganda than the general population.
