Beyond Obama's Beauty

Submitted by Paul, Mar 14, 2008 14:53

As a retired military soldier watching the mud be thrown by both obama and clinton does nothing to get me to vote for them. When people like these two whom have so little experience and knowledge and care so little for each other have no knowledge to be president. The middle east will always be a problem and our assets and interest far out way our commitment. For either of them to say they will be out in 1 year. Just shows you how little they really know or care. They have no knowledge of what will happen. It may be one or five years before we finish but we went in to do a job lets do it. Yes I hate to see my brothers and sistersthere but we signed up knowing the hazards. We enjoy the free college and money for our services. If you really want to do something stand behind them give them the tools to do the job. It will end allot faster........
