I found your blog through another blogger and appreciate your candor and absolute honesty. <br /><br />I for one do not even begin to understand what is going on over there, but the men and women over there have my thoughts. <br /><br />I don't perhaps have a defined perspective on the war, but I salute, the everyday acts of heroism and duty. I am going to link you to my blog, as I would like to be able to read more of your thoughts.Bardouble29https://www.blogger.com/profile/02792662853238196699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30154223.post-62052310533446511052007-01-14T21:26:00.000+03:002007-01-14T21:26:00.000+03:00Just checking in...

Here in the north woods we only get a couple of snowy network channels and PBS, so the latter is where we tuned in.<br /><br />Following the speech, a couple of retired military generals were interviewed. They were clearly upset by what they'd heard, and one commented that the president doesn't understand the nature of the war: it's not about "freedom".<br /><br />Although his description of Iraq was fairly terse, it was quite similar to yours. <br /><br />I wish our so-called leaders would read your blog.
