Always the best thing to do when the tricky stuff arises, huh?
Where is Colin Powell these days, anyway?

Only you could find the means to turn a tribute into a anti-American statement.....
A typical Euro-Weenie.........and you're welcome for all of the times we have bailed your sniveling arses out......
The best response to you would be......................
We have gone forth from our shores repeatedly over the last hundred years and we've done this as recently as the last year in Afghanistan and put wonderful young men and women at risk, many of whom have lost their lives, and we have asked for nothing except enough ground to bury them in.

This is...
...a wonderful tribute, and all the sadder because it throws into sharp relief how far down the toilet America has since gone.
The Council of Europe came out today and said that America has clearly decided to fight its 'war on terror' outside of international law. That is an abhorent decision, and one which takes America so far away from the decent legal framework that took hundreds of years to develop, led, as it happens, by Europeans.
Their report goes on to criticise the UK and others for playing a part in the illegal "extraordinary renditions" carried out by the CIA, where suspects and prisoners are illegally moved under the cover of darkness to countries and concentration camps where torture is "OK".
Add to this the global criticisms of Guantanamo Bay - from Amnesty International, the Red Cross, Medicin Sans Frontiere, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Desmond Tutu, Nelson Mandela and many, many others - and it's clear to all (except for the Faux crowd, of course) that America is rapidly becoming the worlds most dangerous rogue state and sponsor of terrorism beyond and within her borders.
Is this what the D-Day vets fought for? How sad they must feel...

Just reading this makes it so vivid that we have lost the civility that made us great. Part of it is the invasion of foreign illegal residents who are trying to take us without a legal shot. They are shooting in gangs, and incidental shootings when questioned. We had a cop shot in a routine traffic stop by an illegal just two weeks ago. SEND THEM HOME! BRING BACK DECENCY, FAITH IN GOD AND THE HONEST KNOWLEDGE THAT THE COUNTRY IS STILL WORTH FIGHTING FOR AND OUR PEOPLE WILL HELP OTHERS LIBERATE THEIR HOMELANDS.
DOES FRANCE KNOW WE LIBERATED THEM? THEY HAVE BEEN FURTHER CONTAMINATED BY ILLEGALS. ALL ILLEGALS ARE NOT FROM MEXICO!

D-day heros
It's hard to face how far we've come from that generation. If Pearl Harbor had happened on September 11th 2006 we would have lost the war by now. But you keep the faith anyway. I'n trying to.
