Make sure he includes the lack of outrage by those who purported to care so much about humanity.

Now’s a good time:

What would the result have been? His only other option would have been to set a withdrawal timetable in order to keep too many American soldiers' lives from being sacrificed in a losing cause. The Left would have gleefully supported his decision. Who would have opposed it? Most Americans would have accepted the decision although their impression of Obama as a Commander in Chief would have diminished even more. The military community, especially, would find it difficult to view him as a Commander, even if it experienced relief because soldiers would at least be removed from Harm's Way. Is it possible that Obama felt compelled to establish his credentials as Commander in Chief? He probably never took this role seriously, even during his campaign. One has to wonder why he didn't simply appoint a surrogate Czar to fulfill this role. Perhaps he has no surrogates in his past experiences who would be willing to serve in this capacity. After all, Marxists and Communists are generally opposed to waging 'imperialist' wars. In this case Obama had to reluctantly accept that being a community organizer is not sufficient to fulfill the role of Commander of the Armed Forces. Reality may finally be sinking in and his inflated ego may have finally been forced to confront a challenge it was not prepared for.

Apparently not. Ad hominem is when you attack the speaker to try and disqualify their argument. That's what you're doing right now by saying that because I'm not serving in the military I'm not allowed to advocate that we continue the fight against Islamofascism. As soon as someone employs an ad hominem argument in a debate then you immediately know that this is someone who does not know how to think. You've demonstrated yourself as such. Rather than dialogue -- respond to the points raised in my response -- you just took the opportunity to further your monologue. Thus you demonstrate that you're not here to engage in honest intellectual discussion. You're not here to expand your mind and your perspective through friendly engagement. You're here to sabotage people you hate. This will not be tolerated very long. If you continue to respond to arguments with ad hominem attacks then you'll be in clear violation of our commenting guidelines and your commenting PRIVILEGES will be revoked. You have been warned.

I'm a former Marine, and I wouldn't advise my kids to join the service these days... not the way THIS administration treats the military... Besides, David's making a far more important contribution to his country doing what he's doing, to help prevent jerks like you continue to screw up this country even further that it already is.

As those who have been in the HELL HOLE of War have told me,"Either go in and win or get the hell out!

Really? You may think you are being rational, however I think that you might be singing a different tune if you were subject to the draft as Dick "Five deferments" Cheney was. You would not be as idealistic, if at all, if that was the case. Maybe I am crazy and unable to this rationally, but that what I think. You are a lucky ducky, you never have to serve our country in the military. You can sit on you duff at you computer and criticize others. Nice! “Upon encountering the Chickenhawk argument you should immediately realize that you’re dealing with someone who is unable to think rationally.”

It probably took me about 2 to 3 days to get the help I needed from the company to learn what I needed to learn. It was rather extraordinary, because the president of the company actually replied directly to my questions. If you have any problems, I'll help you through them as best I can... The big trick is to get your preferences panels set up the right way. Ribbit ! :-) Don’t be intimidated by your first look into the software.. It takes a little getting used to..

And I think it's safe to say that none of the blog software system out there have those tool attached to what it basically a rather simple messaging software. There is a way to do this for yourself however. There's an incredible piece of (inexpensive) spell checking software called Spell Catcher, that I use, and which I highly recommend to everyone. You can find it here: http://www.rainmakerinc.com/ Spell Catcher positions itself between the user and anything on the computer that you write in, including all word processing software (It beats the hell out of the spell checking tool in MS Word) you mail software, your browser and any blogs you might be posting on. So wherever you type anything, the software is always there to correct virtually all the errors that you make. The best thing about it IMHO, is that it's super easy to teach the software the correct spelling for any mistake you may make, and regardless of what program you make the mistake in, it then automatically corrects the same mistake, no matter where you make it in the future. This means that the software gets smarter and more useful, the more you use it. You can download it for a free 2 week trial, and if you decide to buy it, it's only $40.
