Thanks for your reply; friend...

First thanks for your service in the Armed Forces of The US over seas...

Next: One thing I absolutely know for sure is that no one; this includes me or you knows everything, about everything while living in this earth existance...

I, also have been over seas in the US Navy, and worked with TS clearances, weapons, Intelligence, etc,ect... Which does not make me an expert; just able to understand the who, what, why and when most of the time...  We can compare notes on this at some other time...

I did not extend the argument just replied to your limited observations...  My use of maybe for Pres. Bush is of course based on how things turn out; since I can not tell the future...   But as a student of history; from what I understand when you turn coat and run the battle is lost...  We can get examples later...

I guess we can all come up with reasons and facts to fit whatever argument; but the truth remains that the Islamic Extremist want you either converted or dead!!  That is what they say...  HUH!!   Maybe you can come up with some other views on their beliefs; but so far that is the way I read the Big Picture...

I do not have time for a long debate so thanks for your views...

See Ya...  Never Perfect or Absolutely 100% correct ...    Kermit...
