Isn’t it6 a sad commentary when the soldiers in the field are not in accoredance with the Bush plan and or actions? We must support our troops and VOTE THIS COWBOY OUT OPF OFFICE. America bless GOD.
“the soldiers in the field are not in accoredance with the Bush plan and or actions?”
Who told you this?
There is nothing in the article that asserts this. What makes you think it is true? Certainly I know soldiers in the field who are in accordance with our current national policy.
Go away, little Bush flunkie, Frank.
