It's not the same, at all. Law enforcement officers volunteer to put their lives on the line to uphold the laws of thier city, county or state. Presumably, they believe in those laws, and for the most part, they are part of the legal and social fabric of our nation, and they have remained unchanged in principle for hundreds of years.Originally posted by: JD50I respect the rest of your argument, but this part is getting a little old. Have you ever been a Police Officer? Probably not, so I hope that you don't ever comment on crime because your opinion won't mean crap since you aren't out there locking up the crackheads.
I figured Democrats would know this, given the number of times they have visited Syria. I wonder if the DNC is sliding Syria some money from Nancy's corporations who don't have to pay a "living wage" in Samoa in an effort to "give them [the Syrian insurgents] the tools they need" to inflict more death on America so they win the '08 elections.

Who was it in the other thread that complaining about conservatives criticizing dems on what they are going to do and not what they have done?
So which is it Harvey, are you going to blame Bush for not sending enough troops because 20k just isn't enough, are you going to blame him for not supplying them with the proper equipment (which costs extra money, probably the money that you are complaining about now), etc..
Get it through your head. IT IS A BAD IDEA IN EITHER CASE... time to cut our losses.
I have seen libs saying that 20k is not enough for a troop surge and that he is not equipping them properly, now Harvey is complaining that he is sending more troops and spending more money on them (which will probably get them the required gear).

I am still confused here, weren't Democrats as late as spring 2006 calling for more troops?
So what gives? Do we want more troops or not? Or are our troop numbers to be based on polling data and cliches?

Originally posted by: shadow9d9The plan is to cut our losses and leave, get the surrounding countries to get involved as we leave.
"The surrounding countries" are already "involved," which is why we need more troops on the ground, as the Democrats stated before Cindy went back to Washington and threatened them.

Well, people didn't own the indeces that lost their millions.. they owned individual stocks and watched them go down to pennies... and they haven't rebounded. None of the huge gainers from the 90s have. Well, a couple, but very very very few have reached even close to even from their peaks in 2000.
Ok, I'm not going to argue with you about the stock market, but what do you think makes up the DJIA, Nasdaq, etc.... They are just a collection of individual stocks, just like mutual funds. So something had to have rebounded for the Dow to hit record highs. Anyways, many many people invest in mutual funds, 401ks, etc...
I'm still waiting for all you pissant chickensh8 peace activists to show your disdain for the violence by volunteering to go to Iraq and put your bodies on the line to stop the violence, ALA Ghandi. I still won't agree with you, but I might respect your opinion a little more.Originally posted by: Harvey

Then, there's those pesky, nagging little questions like:Originally posted by: yllus
48,000 sounds like a far better number than 15,000 or whatever it was initially. If you're going to surge, do it proper.

Still have not heard what that was exactly. Don't tell me "common knowledge" BS either. Calling something Common Knowledge that is a widely held opinion does not make it fact. No matter how many times the biased media replays/reprints it.
