GWB on the deck of that Carrier STATED that the WAR was NOT over and we had a long road ahead.
this thing that you are repeating is quite a diservice to the men and women who fought so valiantly during those early days in Iraq.

Ferd as a military brat, I'm going to nip that last statement in the bud. I know from the first hand stories of my father, the frustrations of Vietnam. Most of my frustration is with the disregard for those who have fought valiantly (in freaking unarmored jeeps or walking down the street playing soccer with kids so as not to appear like an occupying force...so that they get a nice little blurb on the evening news). I'm sick of seeing kids born in the '80's having funeral services ...for what?
