"I've got Muslims who are fighting in Afghanistan..."
"...in the uniform of the United States armed services. They're out there putting their lives on the line for us, and we've got to make sure that we are crystal clear for our sakes and their sakes: They are Americans. And we honor their service. And part of honoring their service is making sure that they understand that we don't differentiate between 'them' and 'us.' It's just 'us.'"

3. He is in the Command, so I is appropriate. Bush and the pukes claim them all the time.
I think it is appropriate to claim them too. Own his decisions that suck ass. I don't agree with them there.. lives, money, and progress wasted.
