I have an extremely hard time with the following statement:

from the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Iraq veteran John Detling of Symmes Township said he's sick of the comparison. "People who say, 'I support the troops but I don't support the war' can't have it both ways. Talk about demoralizing. For the troops over there, that's like Vietnam."

I can have it both ways and I do and will continue to have it both ways. I am sure this man's opinion is important but who has brainwashed him into believing that it's OK to die for a lie? Yes it's demoralizing, the whole thing was based on a sneaky, underhanded agenda of a handful of evil people. Of course we support the troops. These are our friends and family members. How could we wish them harm. We are trying to save their lives.

It's such a shame that Cincinnati has eaten the *bush funnel cake right along with drinking the kool-aid. Maybe they are too trusting, maybe the hearts of these folks can't recognize a deceitful agenda when it comes from the *president. After all they still have neighborhood parades and lots of fairs and carnivals and fireworks on the 4th of July. They still believe that America is the most honorable nation in the world. I am saddened by the degree of their naivety. Until there is an awakening within them we will have more of the same.

1. Check out Bronson's editorial in todays' Enquirer...

... which I posted a little earlier this morning. It's truly frustrating going up against a mindset like this.

2. Agreement

Dear Ohio Blues:

I agree with you. In fact, I think if you oppose this war and are doing everything in your power to bring the troops home, you support the troops more than those who want to continue this war. yesterday on C-Span, a member of the right-wing Young america Foundation said he is "fighting the war in other ways" by not volunteering for the service and by working politically. That is crap. He ought to stand up for his beliefs. We have plenty of people in Republican counties in Md. who have those yellow ribbons attached to their cars, but who do nothing to help the troops. I think those who are working to end the Iraq quagmire and bring the troops home support the troops more than these Bush supporters who, for the most part, are happy to let other people fight their battles for them.
On another note, I don't know what is wrong with some of those Ohioans in Clermont County. How could they possibly vote for Schmidt instead of Hackett?

3. "That's like Vietnam."

Yes. Yes, it is.

Frustrating and sucky.

Which is why we weren't supposed to have another one.
