As for what our NATO commitment meens to me, that's irrelevent. I havn't stated whether I support the war or not. Either way, it's not a slap in the face of our soldiers. They'll always get my support.

Refere to my other posts.
For the most part, those soldiers want to be there, as i have stated why. Thats from personal connections, friends, and friends friends. Not media related where soldiers would tend to not want to speak out against it.
You don't send soldiers to do a mission then pull them out half way through it, especially when the mission is heading in a relativly good direction and has the backing of a majority, not to mention what is at stake.
As for Glenn Beck's comments on the Muslim congressman, i never heard or saw it - no comment.

Seems it was taken a little out of context, i was expecting much different from what i've read in this thread, after watching...i don't really see the problem, given what he said before and after.

Most people don't seem to take Iran as seriously as it should be taken. It's pretty serious business when they are taking about whiping Israel off the map on ample amount of occasions, as well as backing Hezbollah and their Nuclear ambitions. I think people are being far to neive (sp?) when it comes to Iran so his "fear campaign" seems quite valid to me.
As for Russian, i do think he goes a bit overboard with them, but he still has some valid points.
As for Iraq -
