If he did serve his country, would quickly learn following the imposed rules of engagement, we don't fool around with the bad guys, we shoot them, dead.

So which is it? The administration was trigger happy or primarily interested in taking POWs?

He's also behind the push to that so-called war in Iraq, never a war, was an invasion and a police action. Probably good he got his deferments, would have killed a bunch of our own guys.

Too bad he couldn't use Obama's excuse about not joining the military. There wasn't a war going on so they didn't need him.

Yeah, too bad Obama didn't dodge a military draft as well, then that would have been one more thing you could hold a hypocritical position on

As it is, Obama doesn't need an excuse not to have joined the military as a career.

To go to Vietnam? (Which is what some did back then)

The practice was authorized by Congress after that war.

I think pretty much everyone is sick of the Bush's wars without end in Iraq and Afghanistan.

4 years is a long time. They will be Obama's wars by 2010.

They may well be. The point I'm making is that noone is going to get very far pushing a war agenda into new theaters (like Iran).

The War on Terror is something that is indelibly associated with the Bush administration.

Iran is still a very hot issue, now that that they have demonstrated an ability to put an object into orbit. Israel has an itchy trigger finger, and they will dump a load of hurt on Iran soon, if the US does not stop the Iranian strategic weapons program. With the IDF and Hamas going toe to toe, we are closer than ever to another major middle east conflict, despite the best intentions of the new administration aside. Let's see how well Hillary does with this one. Tick, tick, tick...

The US won't intervene directly in something like that - we don't have the money or the capability at this point in time. I suspect all we'll see are more attempts at diplomacy and a bit more sabre rattling.

How much is a long distance call to Israel?

I vote we release all the prisoners free from Gitmo. Send them home on a plane half full of fuel !!!!! ENUFF SAID.

It's my understanding that the detainees that were returned to their home countries were killed anyway just on general principles, so later ones had to be sent to 3rd world countries. They are screwed one way or the other and will never be able to return to their loved ones.

"When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry," Cheney said.

He makes a very valid point there.

What happens when people like chaney take away your rights?.. When do you worry.. before or after your interned or the guy down the street in taken away, no trial no judge no jury no laywer... That's not exactly very american is it?
