"I was in over twenty different countries while in the military; including eight Islamic and do not think we occupied any of them; just because we were there!!"--kermit

Of COURSE our "liberty" time in other countries is not "occupying" them. There is a distinct difference...



"Occupation means to take control generally for over a long period of time... HUH!!"


Again kermit, where do you get your definition of occupation? An occupation is not determined by "timelines"....Occupation is determined by being, occupied.


"I never intended this post to be a debate on the political side of Iraq; rather just to say that history will prove what was right but someone must decide what stand to make; even if it is not popular... But to cut and run or to leave the field; Werther it is in war or sports, means defeat or loss to those who quit... Epically to the opposing side!!"


Deciding what stand to make does not a leader make. If one makes consistently BAD decisions, then one should be called out on it. No one is asking to cut and run, but to come to the OBVIOUS conclusion that occupying a Nation that doesn't want us there is NOT helping us in any way, shape, or form have the ability to WIN.

You appear to be a well educated man, just don't let the popular ideas of the world color your outlook on life... You may want to go back and read some of my previous blogs to see the words of wisdom I share... "


I really don't allow the popular ideas of the world color my outlook on life kermit, I enjoy free use of reality. I enjoy your blogs and I appreciate your time.
