Lou Dobbs, of all people, has only been covering the PTSD of soldiers
and the horrors they have seen. I will give him credit tonight for covering only that. He has had experts on who are saying we cannot continue to keep sending these kids over and over and over again. His whole show has been about soldiers and stress. I dont like Dobbs, but he hasnt brought up anything else tonight.

1. Hasn't he been anti-Iraq war for quite awhile (despite his many other faults)?

7. I can't answer that, but he is a Libertarian, and generally anti-war
Broken clock syndrome.

10. Yes, he was against the Iraq from the beginning...
That's when I used to tune in. Then his show became all about immigration and that's when I tuned out... x(

2. Wow..I believe that, actually. He was very critical of the Iraq war (and other things Bush did.)

4. Lou used to be different. I remember watching him
and was impressed by his devotion to the troops, especially since my son was in Iraq when I was watching him. Then it was like he had some kind of disorder take over him, and I haven't been able to watch him for the last three years.

9. I know. I used to subscribe to his newsletter, would take his weekly news quiz.
He was against the war, talked a lot about the troops, so I used to watch him, too. He had Randi Rhodes on his show; she was a big fan... But I haven't tuned in, either, for nearly as long... :-(

5. Dobbs took a few minutes break from race baiting and bigotry to
comment on what happened today.

Yeah. Color me skeptical.

6. I stand with the Libertarians on this issue
Forget their immigration phobia for a moment - they stand with us on ending the wars.
