Well. atleast there are double digits.
I hope people actully watch and pay attention to the President tonight. Give the guy a break and a chance to atleast try to put his policy into action.
It is almost impossible for a president to work his war time policy when so many American people have lost their will and their passion for what we are fighting for. We are living in a country full of defeatists and morally bankrupt cowards. I have to put it on the American people. We are going to abandon the Iraqi people because we are afraid of sticking with it. We just dont have the will. We are a weak country. I never thought id ever say that about the United States of America.
