Your kids should go to Iraq . . .
. . . not mine. Or ours. Just yours.
"And to those watching tonight who are considering a military career, there is no higher calling than service in our Armed Forces. We live in freedom because every generation has produced patriots willing to serve a cause greater than themselves. "
- George W. Bush, June 29, 2005.
But what about Barbara and Jenna, George? What about your own daughters? What about Barbara and Jenna? You declared the damn war, you say it must be fought, why not risk some of your own family's precious blue blood? And what about all your buddies in Congress, George, banging the drums of war? How about the fact that of the 600 members of the Congresssional country club, only 5 have kids serving in Iraq. . .
Send your own, I say, then we'll send ours. Send your own, George, into harm's way and then you'll be a leader and someone who we'll follow.
Until that time, never again ask others to give up what you will not.

Great Post man. I definately posted the entire thing in my latest entry. I don't think I've heard put into better words yet.
Cheers
The left should make a list of all the things needed before we can go to War.
I'm sure our enemies will be patient.
