Eghad, sorry - missed one of your posts...When I referrenced "this guy", I was talking about the original posting member, not the government official - poor comunication on my part.
I dont think that we are probably too far off on our ideas, but a lot of people were coming down on anvil for things he didn't say or imply. I think I understand what his original feelings were...wasn't about all this other stuff.
Yes, I agree that the DOD guy should not have given his personal opinion using his professional forum. But again, the original posting member, I think, is tired of the US apoligizing to THEM. I doubt if this DOD guy is like his brother-in-law or anything. I, too, am fed up with apoligizing to the enmy for being what we are - and what we are is not a bad thing at all.
It is going to be hard for this government body, or any future government body of the US to change our rights easily, as long as there continues to be Patriots like us who will debate, and fight, for the right thing. I am just sooooo tired of the crying masses who have no patience for this fight against terrorism and want to cry foul for everything we do in the heat of battle. People seem to have no stomach for the preemptive fight with the latest bully on the block and want to wait until that bully has all there lunch money and there's no more to give. I hope they remember their staunch positions when their own daughters are forced to cover their faces with a veil...if that time ever comes, my daughters will remember that their Daddy died so that their smiles could shine
