I can't stop thinking about this: Every 10 hours we lose a troop.
Think about it...since Chimpy's bullshit "war" began, every 10 hours an American soldier, marine, sailor has died for
his 'doctrine.'

More THIS month with a week to go than ALL of March. Is this what the 'surge' was supposed to do?

11. Souls CAN be saved. But if it's Coburn, there's still a long way to go.
But it's a start!

As Class Warrior would say - NGU!!!

12. Yes, Coburn. You might know that I've known him personally for 35 years
since he was in high school. We have a reasonably civil relationship but very combative. He isn't really nuts like Inhofe and I'm working on him. NGU for sure. ;-)

17. I did not know that. Keep working on him.
Certainly not all souls can be saved (like inhofe's) but maybe there's hope for Coburn. Keep at it! You're carrying the colors for ALL of us!

7. I served from 1963 to 1968. And I bought another gun just today.
Any other suggestions, genius?
