Censure!
[Read the article: Petraeus' Pentagon skeptics]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The best thing for the Democrats in congress to do, would be to censure the article, but not MoveOn.org. The whole organization can hardly be censured for one headline. And censuring the article won't kill the General Betray-us nick name, because that is going to stay around General Petraeus for as long as he continues to advocate leading American led forces that he recommends stay in the worsening quagmire that is Iraq.

Get me straight Pig, I mean Blackpaw
[Read the article: Roundup: Mistresses ruin corrupt Chinese official]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Blackpaw I accused you of being a pig, an idiot, and a date rapist enabler/defender.
I accused the (AGENT SMITH) anonymous guy of giving his ex-wife good reason to want to get as far away from him as possible, and paranoid, and a date rapist defender/enabler.
I accused Raider6704 of being a hateful, miserable, lowly man, insane, deluded, paranoid, and a pig.
I accused Robert Franklin of being an idiot, and later apologized to him, but I am still waiting for his response to my question of why he wants to defend date rapists.
I pointed out to all of you, except Robert Franklin, that no woman in her right mind would want to go anywhere near you guys.
Please remember how I really feel about you guys. I see you as garbage that is going to get left in the dust. But if you all do some soul searching, and seek help you might be redeemable in 10 or 20 years.

Modern Feminism 101
[Read the article: Roundup: Mistresses ruin corrupt Chinese official]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm sorry Raider, I forgot to mention that I called you boring. You are boring, but it is nice to know that you read Feminism 101, but it's too bad that you don't learn from it.

To the Shill
[Read the article: Petraeus' Pentagon skeptics]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Elephantman, very rarely do we meet people who take pride in the fact that they are a shill. Why didn't you call yourself GOPMAN? Well I am going to call you SHILLMAN.
However, since you are a shill, please answer me this question. How much poisoned cool-aid does a man like you have to drink before he dies? The Iraq War (or as I call it the Dubya War) is poisoned cool-aid, and General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker are trying to convince the blindly faithful Republicans in the legislative Branch to support the President in his vain effort to force more of that poisoned cool-aid down the throat of America.
Win you say? The Dubya War is not being lost, it is lost. It has become a lost cause that we are spending 9 Billion Dollars a week just to watch more American soldiers get maimed or killed while the sectarian violence around them gets worse. Lets look at the facts. Iran and Syria have become less Democratic in the past 4 years. Iran has a new ally in the Iraqi government. Hama and Hezbollah have become legitimate political factions in their respected countries. Osama Bin-Ladin is still sending us his video tapes. Al-Qaeda has retooled to their strongest level since 9/11/2001. Pakistan's is Osama Bin-Ladin's safe haven, and there is apparently nothing we can do about it. Our Military is near the breaking point. Officer recruitment is down, suicides among military personal is up, and the standards for acceptable enlisted recruitment have reached a rock bottom level. We are a trillion dollars in debt to China. Every nation is reducing the number of troops they have in Iraq, except the USA.
Where exactly do you see victory in all that, SHILLMAN?
I believe on election day in 2008 voters will reject the poisoned cool-aid even more so than they did on election day in 2006. No one wants to commit suicide, SHILLMAN, which is exactly what continuing the Dubya War will do to this country. It is time to redeploy our precious service men and women to other regions, where they are not in the cross fire of a civil war, and where they can better defend our country.

Best and Brightest
[Read the article: Petraeus' Pentagon skeptics]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"It is one thing to appreciate our military. But there is no need for a pedestal."
No, Alan Bennett, our Military is comprised of this nations youngest Best and Brightest. They are our defense, we need to protect them, we need to redeploy them.
MoveOn.org nick named General Petraeus, General Betray-us, because he is Betraying our Military. Our Military is a big part of our nation's future, and we need to protect it, which is something that General Petraeus is not doing. General Petreaus could stand up to Dubya if really cared about this Nation's Best and Brightest. The Dubya War is breaking our military. We need to give Americans awareness of the danger that our military is in, by putting our Military on a pedestal, and convincing Americans that our precious Military needs to be redeployed.
MoveOn.org is not anti-military.

Inherited habites!
[Read the article: Women's heart-risky habits?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Smoking and couch-potato laziness are inherited habits, but they are passed down from parents to children by the example that the parents set, not through genetics. If you smoke, then the odds are good that your children will also smoke, but very few kids of non-smoking parents choose to smoke. I don't smoke at all, or drink alcohol in the house or ever in front of my kids for exactly that reason. I also stay off of the couch as much as possible, and limit the amount of TV that my kids watch, so that they will start off being active rather than sedentary at as young an age as possible. Most adults may not realize just how damaging the examples we set are to the next generation. If you abuse your wife, the odds are good that when your son grows up, he will express the same behavior towards the women in his life.
Behavior traits are passed down, but anyone can realize that they have behavior problems, correct their deficiencies, and prevent them from getting passed on to their children.
