interesting enough the writer surname sounds Turkish. Doesn't Ozlem mean Muslim?
'OZLEM ALTIOK is a freelance writer based in North Texas. Her articles and interviews have been published in Z Magazine, Independent Media network, and Touchstone Magazine. '

I will only say this.
The U.S. is fucked either way.
If they pull the troops out it sends a world-wide message that given time, we will give up which is a HORRIBLE message to send to countries whom are on the edge of causing major chaos.
If we leave our troops there, we're fucked because we're fighting a battle we can't win. The world has gone P.C. and we can no longer go in and with one swoop destroy legions of men. That all ended with the 'road of death' in Iraq when Desert Storm took place. Now more than ever the media have turned against the war and the troops and put them at a serious disadvantage. If a troop shoots a man believed to be hiding a bomb playing possum he is now convicted of murder.
So basically, either way we're fucked no matter how you look at it.
What to do?

"The group was challenged by an individual who asked the two dozen protestors if they were going to “treat our troops coming back from Iraq the same way you treated us when we came back from Vietnam?” A couple of protestors responded that they were Vietnam veterans, too and Sheehan said, “We support our troops; that’s why we want to bring them home safe. I lost a son in this war.” The man said he was sorry for her loss, but that “Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and we had to fight them.” The protestors asked him where the weapons of mass destruction were, to which the man responded, “They moved them to Syria; that’s where the WMDs are now.”
Fucking administration has done a fantastic job brainwashing people - gotta give them that

She sounds to me, like a very rational person, who does not seem to be clouded by emotions, rather driven by them

"A cattle rancher who chose not to be identified said of Bush’s country-boy image, “ It makes you wonder why they let a guy who chokes on a pretzel and falls off a scooter handle a chainsaw for the news cameras.”

train the battallions in iraq and let them fix it, see you in 2010.
bush's approval rating is in the absolute toilet right now. normal centrist republicans are second-guessing their 2004 votes. the pendulum is swinging back to the left.
Paul Hacket, who ran as a democrat for congress in the most republican district in ohio lost by single digit points. Which is unheard of. Hackett, who is an iraq war vet was lambasted by sean hannity and rush limbaugh (among others) for padding his resume by going to iraq to win the election. so much for supporting our troops.
Bill Frist, major opponent to stem-cell research is aligning himself more to the center and is now saying that stem cell research is a good thing, much to the dismay of christian fundamentalists like James Dobson, who likened stem cell research to nazi experiments on the jews.
But when Dick Durbin likens gtmo torture to behavior of the nazis, he is villified by the pundits and is basically forced to make an apology, while dobson refuses to do the same.
This current crop of republicans are the biggest hypocrites that this country has ever seen.
