Ah Cindy. I know you've been having a rough "go" at things lately and I'm happy to fill in the blanks when you can't be here. I only hope that some of the people here on my forum are taking the time to read this besides you and I. It would be a comforting thought. But hell, if you and I were the only ones, then we that's okay too. It touches our hearts and brings comfort to the "boys". God love 'em. I do!
"I sit around and think what you are thinking about, (you know , are you all proud of me?) I am for the first time in my life. I think that I am actually doing something that is bigger then me, something that might actually make life better for someone, more than for myself or even someone I know. There are millions of people over here that actually have a future , it may not be f*****g shangrila but someday it might be better. I really dont give a s*** about WMD. I 've been talking to the Iraq people around here and almost all of them think the hardship is worth it, if their children and their childrens children might have a chance. It definently humbles me"
Man, I love what he said. About making it better and taking part in something larger than him. My favorite line? "I really don't give a s*** about WMD." Amen to that. Maybe the damned stupid press and half the democratic senators and congressmen should read stuff like this. All they can think about are WMD's. Like that is the ONLY thing that matters in IRAQ. Like that is the only thing that would make it worthwhile to invade Iraq and help these people gain their freedom. They make me sick. They complain from their comfy offices and diss the president and his cabinet. Maybe we should ship all their silly a**es to Iraq for about 8 weeks. Call it a field trip!
