Glenn and Dear Fellow Readers,

Please allow me the liberty of sharing my Letter to the Editor that was published in today's GAINESVILLE TIMES (Gainesville, Georgia)......

As a Vietnam era veteran of the U.S. Navy from 1968-1972, I must comment on your recent article incorrectly stating that most or all veterans support John McCain. Let me state, emphatically, that I do not.

While all veterans are to be commended for their service and note must be made of Sen. McCain's time as a POW, a thinking voter is more interested in the political decisions made by the candidate and how that will impact his future decisions. In the case of McCain, he is lacking in judgment on all counts.

The first and most important qualification of a military leader or commander in chief is that he uses his resources with the utmost care, and in the case of the troops, they must be used wisely. Sadly, McCain's support of the "grandest strategic blunder" in the nation's history, the invasion and continuing occupation of Iraq, disqualifies him from further service.

What some might call "experience" is, in fact, a clear indication of his complete lack of judgment in such critical matters. As a result, more than 4,000 brave American troops have been wasted in an effort that has done nothing to aid our cause against terrorists, and have only increased their numbers and determination. McCain is clearly not qualified to lead our brave troops.

I was also surprised to see you quote Sen. Saxby Chambliss. What struck me was that he had the nerve to use the term "coward." Like so many of our "warrior class," Chambliss did not deign to wear the uniform of our nation. Like Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and President Bush and so many others who sit idly by and cheer on our "noble war effort," he never served, and yet he is all for sending other people to fight the fight while he sits on the sidelines and makes "bold" statements, like "bring it on" and other such dangerous nonsense.

Chambliss, your chest-beating would be comic were it not costing the lives of brave Americans who are willing to sacrifice for what they believe in, who are willing to put their lives on the line for their convictions, as opposed to running their mouth with empty rhetoric and tough talk.

Do not be fooled. As Sen. Barack Obama has so rightly pointed out, we took our eye off the ball. We let Osama bin Laden get away into Afghanistan and focused instead on Saddam Hussein and Iraq, despite the fact that it had nothing to do with 9/11. President Bush himself has acknowledged this fact.

McCain himself said that "we can muddle through" in Afghanistan, that our work there was done, and he fully supported the disastrous diversion of our men and resources to satisfy Cheney's and Bush's personal vendetta against Saddam.

Clearly, McCain will continue these mistakes, so this is one veteran who will be voting for Obama and Joe Biden.

She was politicking at the BANK OF AMERICA 500. The first thing Saturday morning I closed my savings account at BOA. I went and found the highest-ranking employee at the branch and I made sure that she understood exactly why I was closing my account and told her that I will close my checking account as soon as I set-up my direct deposit at a new bank.

SCREW BANK OF AMERICA.

The songwriter has every right to do what he will with his original work, but this is a joke. What weak lyrics.

I could write better than this in my sleep.

What a dummy, Bocephus. What a joke you've become. I hope you've got a lot of money because based on this you've run out of talent.....

Why can't we all just get a longneck?

You can wash down your "crap sandwich" with a "POOP COCKTAIL"!!!!

I hate to say this, and I hope it's true. I PRAY that it's true, that Obama is letting a lot of these things pass because he's headed for a victory, that with screwy vote counting, possibly rigged voting machines, and such, may be a close one, and he doesn't want to rock the boat or muddy the water with issues that will only confuse an electorate that really doesn't have a CLUE about the reality of our political environment.

Let's get him into office, with a solid Democratic Majority in both houses of Congress and then we can start putting pressure on him.

Hopefully the first thing that he will do, as a UNILATERAL sign of goodwill, is cancel the reckless deployment of missiles in Poland.

If there is ONE HONEST MAN in America it is you, Glenn Greenwald.

Thank you.

"WE WILL BURY YOU".....
