4. Welcome aboard.
People here are real nice - if they agree with what you say. Don't take it personal and start growing an extra thick skin if you don't have one already.

5. I like the moxie of this
I sent Obama a huge postcard the other day - hopefully, the postal system will see it to Pennsy Ave. Anyway, the card asked if he was gonna make good on the "to the bank" promise. After all, he's had NO hesitation GIVING money TO the banks with no hope them helping the American populace for our graciousness. All I can figure is the promissary note he gave US was written with disappearing ink.

7. Yeah, but there are a lot of troops to bring home, and not enough
boats, airplanes, submarines, and rockets to bring them all home, as promised.



Maybe if the movement grows large enough, there suddenly will be enough transportation means to magically appear from their hidden locations! ;)


Who will be the 'next' John Kerry? (Still an 'open' position.) :rofl:

8. That is why it takes time to bring home all the equipment, supplies, and people
There's TONS and TONS of equipment etc over there and it can't just all be moved all at once.

There was a general on TV a few months ago and he was rattling off how many TONS of stuff had to be packed and shipped back to the states and he said that it would take around two years 'logistically' to move out all the stuff and all the people from Afghanistan and Iraq.

9. Well, maybe a 'growing' movement (i.e. 'anti-Vietnam' like)...
Edited on Thu Sep-08-11 02:29 AM by Amonester
will just make sure there will be no more 'beyond' such and such date...

But absent a 'growing wide enough' movement, I doubt the troops will all be back home in decades from now...

If it will grow large enough for (ahum, 12% approv.) Congress to 'cut-funding' a la let's-get-the-hell-outta-Vietnam remains to be seen.
