Though every death is a serious loss, these numbers still make this the lowest cost war in the history of this nation as a percent of the population. By the way, that is also true of the money cost. This is the lowest cost war in terms of percent of the GNP in the history of the nation.

You are aware that Obama has voted YES on EVERY spending measure for the war?

You are aware that even if he had voted no, he wouldn't and couldn't bring the soldiers home any sooner if/when he becomes president? Notice he hasn't brought that issue up since early in the campaign? He knows it will be a promise he can't possibly keep.

You are aware that every democratic president and presidential candidate in our history has loudly professed in their belief in God? Particularly during campaigns?

Anything else you'd care to blather on about?

1. Yes , what other choice did have , the W had already started the fight.
2. The president can bring them home , He can do whatever he wants , Look at the W. or is it ok only when a Ripofflican does it.
3. of course they and we believe in God , but we don't use that to start wars like the bible thumpers have throughout history and that goes for all bible thumpers from any religon. Do you think Hitler is in heaven because he started wars, no he is in hell, Do you think the W is going to heaven?

Gaser, what does God have to do with my post above?

I'm an atheist. But, God or no God, bringing all the troops home will not end this war. It will only change where the people are dying.

God Bless all the families that lost love ones, and God Bless the families that have relatives over there. I hope you will all be able to have them home safe and sound. God Bless you Bryan (nephew).
