ttom500: We must support our military with the best training, equipment, technology and infrastructure necessary to keep them in a position to win. We must also provide our men and women in uniform, our veterans and their families with the benefits they deserve for their great sacrifice. These heroes have served us. We must never forget them."
Bet that he wouldn't have to look at the engraving on a bracelet when stating the fallen soldier's name.

Golly, four years ago nobody had even heard of Obama or thought Hillary was going to run for crying out loud.
Comment on the video?
Again loved Ron Paul's response about 'tea party leader' Michelle Bachmann.
Some say Herman's a tool.

Albert...I liked the fact he said the word "win" in the piece on the defense and national security. When was the last time you heard that come from Washington? Even GWB was hesitant to use the word.
But go back to every major conflict that country has fought. The POTUS has to show the resolve, the determination and the desire to win. To define and find victory in a tough war and time.
Cain may not have the final winning goal or objective of the war on terrorism or the conflict in Afghanistan clarified in words. But at least he is talking about winning. None of the other are.
The REP canidates are going to let Obama do the withdrawal. Then let the results fall on him. The first time a Taliban/alQeada sponsored attack comes, they will point at him and say the withdrawal was done to early and the country is unsecure. All for votes. But that is not defining a victory either. That is just using the issue for politics.
Nor does Cain sound like a war hawk. The way I read it, he sees both hawks and doves positions in the politics of this. But that is how he is going to get painted by DEM and liberals. Say that word 'win' on the war on terrorism is like raising a red flag in front of a bull to them.
How can we 'win' in Afghanistan? The Russian could not win there. No one has won there since Alexander the Great blah blah blah. Yes I saw the movie, too. Pitt was great. But it was not real. Hollywood think. Are we better than the Russians? Or the English? They both lost there. So it is a given the US has to lose. The liberal knowledge of military history is so vast...that it can predict tomorrow's military outcomes.
The country is tired of the war. That is sure. But that does not mean that some last minute events cannot change the course here. The bin Laden raid surprised liberals across the country and world. They never saw it coming. They certainly did not know how to address it. Or what should happen next. Blank face time. Like deers in headlights.

I'm not the one who accused another of not having information that was actually there and then professing how one should be ready to listen.
Have you read the bio yet and are ready to continue the discussion with an open, not closed mind or, should we give you more time?
