Glad to hear that Johnny.

Off topic. - Are you still teaching at Texas Tech? I see your not listed as facutly on the SOB website anymore.

I am SHOCKED, especially by Americans, who so quickly have forgotten what happened only a few years ago. On American soil, hundreds of Americans were killed. Not killed, killing can happen by accident. They were murdered.

Hundreds of Americans were murdered in a time of a peace, In a time when we all thought we were indestructable.

This caused the already sliding economy, the economy which was created by the internet boom (not by Clinton) to go straight down the tube.

Hundreds of Americans were killed while hundreds of thoulsands of others were financially killed.

As an individual who served in Iraq I personally think that American Military should have been in Iraq regardless of "WMD's". Whether or not the weapons were there is irrelevant, If we were fighting as humanists we had enough reason to be there.

I personally cannot bear to hear the American Forces being called murderers, it breaks my heart to think that in a time of war that Americans will not even stand behind their troops, people who voluntarily signed their lives away for the ideas this country was built upon.

Personally, I do not think this war was about oil.

Our gas prices are higher than ever, even before katrina we were setting records.

If this war was about oil I truly believe we would have started to reap the benefits by now.

The brutality and abuse of power, by Saddam and his regime was enough reason to fight for those who could not fight for themselves.

WE, AS A COUNTRY, ARE NOT ISOLATIONISTS ANYMORE.

We have a responsibility, as THE superpower, to protect those who cannot protect themselves, regardless of any resentment or hatred for America that might come as a result.

Not only are we liberating a country, and believe me, that is exactly what we are doing. We are sending a message that this soil, this land, this brotherhood called America is not attacked again.

I personally think that the administration has done a wonderful job in what has been, argueably, the toughest presidency in history.

Semper Fi,

Ok, this is my last post in this thread. Bush IS NOT STEALING THEIR OIL.

The war MAY well be about oil as I already stated if you read my posts. Go back and read my posts. I said that i DID think it was about oil. But he is NOT stesling the oil. Jesus christ. Get a grip man.

Ice,

I don't know if that was directed at me or AlexMR.

But didn't think u said he was stealing oil...
